Yau's conjecture on the topology of isolated surface singularities
Let , for , be germs of isolated surface singularities. Let be their links, and let be the characteristic polynomials of their monodromies. Yau's conjecture. If is homeomorphic to and , then and have the same embedded topology: there is a germ of a homeomorphism such that . The conjecture asks whether abstract topology together with the monodromy characteristic polynomial determines the embedded topology of an isolated surface singularity.
