The Vanishing Topology of Non Isolated Singularities

  • Chapter
New Developments in Singularity Theory

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 21))

Abstract

We consider holomorphic function germs f : (ℂn+1,O)→ (ℂ,0) and allow arbitrary singularities (isolated or non-isolated). We are interested in the topology of this situation, especially the so called vanishing homology.
