Milnor Numbers of Deformations of Semi-Quasi-Homogeneous Plane Curve Singularities

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show the possible Milnor numbers of deformations of semi-quasi-homogeneous isolated plane curve singularity f. Assuming that f is irreducible, one can write f=∑qα+pβ ≥ pqcαβ xαyβ where cp0c0q≠0, 2≤p<q and p, q are coprime. We show that as Milnor numbers of deformations of f one can attain all numbers from μ(f) to μ(f)−r(p−r), where q≡r(mod p). Moreover, we provide an algorithm which produces the desired deformations.
