Isolated-singularity version of Zariski's multiplicity conjecture

Let f,g ⁣:(Cn,0)(C,0)f,g\colon(\mathbb{C}^n,0)\to(\mathbb{C},0) be holomorphic function-germs with isolated singularities at the origin. Suppose there is a homeomorphism φ ⁣:(Cn,V(f),0)(Cn,V(g),0)\varphi\colon(\mathbb{C}^n,V(f),0)\to(\mathbb{C}^n,V(g),0). Isolated-singularity multiplicity conjecture. Then

m(V(f),0)=m(V(g),0).m(V(f),0)=m(V(g),0).

The paper states that the general Zariski multiplicity problem remains open even in this isolated-singularity setting; only a result for families with isolated singularities is reported as confirmed.
