Resolution of singularities and geometric proofs of the Łojasiewicz inequalities (Q2285038): Difference between revisions

There are many variants of the Łojasiewicz inequality for analytic functions \(f:U\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\), \(U\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}\) -- an open set: the gradient inequality that locally \(\left\vert \left\vert \operatorname{grad} f(x)\right\vert \right\vert \geq C\left\vert f(x)-f(x_{0})\right\vert^{\alpha}\) holds for some constants \(C,\alpha>0\), the distance inequality that locally \(\left\vert f(x)\right\vert \geq C\operatorname{dist}(x,Zero(f))^{\beta}\) holds for some constants \(C,\beta>0\) etc. In the article the Łojasiewicz inequalities are extended to other classes of functions, only differentiable but under additional assumptions: functions of the class \(C^{1}\) with simple normal crossings, Morse-Bott functions of the class \(C^{2}\) and others. The assumptions made by the author allow to use in the proofs the resolution of singularities.
