Whitney's fibering conjecture

Let VV be an analytic subvariety of an open set UCnU\subset\mathbb{C}^n. A stratification of VV is a decomposition into strata as in Whitney's regularity conditions. A semi-analytic fibration on a neighborhood U0U_0 of a point p0Vp_0\in V is a local fibration of the stratified set into submanifolds isomorphic to the strata.

Whitney's fibering conjecture. Every analytic subvariety VUV\subset U has a stratification such that each point p0Vp_0\in V has a neighborhood U0U_0 with a semi-analytic fibration.

Whitney's conjecture asks for a local fibering stronger than the topological triviality supplied by the regularity conditions (a) and (b). It was proven in the local complex and real analytic cases, and in global algebraic cases, by means of Zariski equisingularity and arc-wise analytic triviality.
