Equisingularity of families of functions on isolated determinantal singularities (Q2115172)

In [\textit{J. J. Nuño-Ballesteros} et al., Math. Z. 289, No. 3--4, 1409--1425 (2018; Zbl 1400.32015)], some of the authors showed that the family of varieties \(\left \{(X_t, 0) \right \}_{t \in D}\) is Whitney equisingular if and only if it is good and all the polar multiplicities \(m_i(X_t, 0)\), \(i = 0, \dots, d\) are constant on \(t\). In this paper, the authors also characterize the Whitney equisingularity for analytic families of function germs \(F=\left \{f_t : (X_t, 0) \to (\mathbb{C}, 0)\right \}_{t \in D}\) with isolated critical points, where \((X_t, 0)\) are \(d\)-dimensional isolated determinantal singularities. For this, the authors introduce the \((d-1)\)th polar multiplicity of the fiber \(Y:=f^{-1}(0) \subset X\) of a function germ \(f:(X,0) \to (\mathbb{C},0)\) with isolated singularity. The main result is: the family \(F\) is Whitney equisingular if only if \((\mathcal{X},0)=\left \{(X_t, 0) \right \}_{t \in D}\) is a good family, \(m_i(X_t,0)\), \(i=0, \dots, d\) and \(m_k(Y_t,0)\), \(k=0,\dots, d-1\) are constant on \(t\in D\).
