The Milnor-number equality criterion including exceptional vertices
The Milnor-number equality criterion including exceptional vertices
Let be a reduced power series, and let be a minimal tree of . Let be the set of vertices of , let be the distinguished set of additional vertices in the tree construction, and let be the integer attached to each . Milnor-number equality criterion. The equality between the Milnor number and the characteristic-independent invariant holds if and only if does not divide for all . The surrounding discussion identifies this as the equality case of the characteristic-zero formula and the corresponding positive-characteristic inequality, but the supplied text gives no resolution status.
