Abstract: We consider equivalence relations among smooth map germs with respect to geometry of G-structures on the target space germ. These equivalence relations are natural generalization of right-left equivalence (i.e., A-equivalence) in the sense of Thom-Mather depending on geometric structures on the target space germ. Unfortunately, these equivalence relations are not necessarily geometric subgroups in the sense of Damon (1984). However, we have interesting applications of these equivalence relations.

Review text

In the classical Thom-Mather theory, the main equivalence to study germs \(f:(\mathbb R^n,0)\to(\mathbb R^p,0)\) is \(\mathscr A\)-equivalence, i.e., germs of diffeomorphisms acting in source and target. \(\mathscr K\)-equivalence is also central in this theory for stability issues. \textit{J.-C. Tougeron} studied in [Ideaux de fonctions différentiables. Berlin-Heidelberg-New York: Springer-Verlag (1972; Zbl 0251.58001)] \(\mathscr K[G]\)-equivalence where \(G\) is a linear Lie group acting on the target space. \(\mathscr K[GL(p,\mathbb R)]\)-equivalence is just \(\mathscr K\)-equivalence. In this paper, the authors study \(\mathscr A[G]\)-equivalence. When \(G=GL(p,\mathbb R)\), this is just \(\mathscr A\)-equivalence and when \(G\) is the identity matrix, it is \(\mathscr R\)-equivalence (germs of diffeomorphism in the source space). The difficulty arises from the fact that, differently from \(\mathscr K[G]\), \(\mathscr A[G]\) is not a geometric subgroup of \(\mathscr A\) and so classical singulartiy theory techniques cannot be applied. The authors investigate the infinitesimal version of \(\mathscr A[G]\)-equivalence by analysing vector fields associated to \(G\). Many examples are given and relationships between \(\mathscr A[G]\) and \(\mathscr R\times G\) are established. The paper is very well written and opens new prespectives since the applications of such equivalence relations go as far as quantum physics.
