On a certain type of Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams of plane curve singularities (Q1910439)

The authors consider the problem of determination of the topological type of a plane curve singularity by its Dynkin diagram. As it is known for irreducible singularities, Dynkin diagrams do determine their topological type. The authors construct a Dynkin-type diagram containing additional information, called \(A\Gamma\)-diagram. It is a coloured graph, related to A'Campo's and Gusein-Zade's variants of Dynkin diagrams [\textit{N. A'Campo}, Math. Ann. 213, 1-32 (1975; Zbl 0316.14011)] and \textit{S. M. Gusein-Zade} [Russ. Math. Surv. 32 , No. 2, 23-69 (1977); translation from Usp. Mat. Nauk 32, No. 2(194), 23-65 (1977; Zbl 0363.32010)]. The authors show how to extract the information about intersection multiplicities and \(A\Gamma\)-diagrams of the branches from the \(A\Gamma\)-diagram of the reducible curve, by combinatorial methods. Therefore, the main result of the paper is: The \(A\Gamma\)-diagram of the plane curve singularity determines its topological type.
