Whitney regularity and Thom condition for families of non-isolated mixed singularities (Q1712751)

Let \(f(z,\bar z) \in \mathbb C[z,\bar z]\), \(z=(z_1,\ldots, z_n)\), \(\bar z=(\bar z_1,\ldots, \bar z_n)\) such that \(f(0,0)=0\). For \(a \in \mathbb C\) let \(\bar a\) be the complex conjugate and denote by \[ V(f):= \{a \in \mathbb C^n \mid f(a,\bar a)=0 \} \] the mixed hypersurface defined by \(f\). 1-parameter deformations \(f_t\) of \(f\) are studied. It is proved that under suitable conditions in terms of the Newton boundary of \(f_t(z,\bar z)\) the family of mixed hypersurfaces \(V(f_t)\) is Whitney equisingular, especially topologically equisingular, and satisfies Thom's \(a_f\)-condition.
