Tjurina numbers of plane curve singularities whose multiplicities are three and four (Q2499320): Difference between revisions

Let \(C\) be a singular irreducible plane curve germ. \textit{O. Zariski} proved [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 56, 781--786; Erratum. Ibid. 1927 (1966; Zbl 0144.20201)] that a curve germ \(C\) with equal Milnor and Tjurina numbers is analytically equivalent to the plane curve singularity \(X^n -Y^m=0\), with \(m,n\) coprime; when the Milnor number is bigger than Tjurina number, he introduced an analytic invariant \(\lambda\) so that \(C\) at the origin is given (up to analytic equivalence) by the parametrization \(x=t^n, y=t^m+t^{\lambda}+\sum_{i>{\lambda}}a_{i}t^i\). In this paper the authors consider the cases where the multiplicity \(n\) of \(C\) is 3 and 4 and describe Tjurina numbers, showing relations with Milnor numbers and invariants \(\lambda\).
