Tame deformations of highly singular function germs (Q6989666)

The authors discuss the following question asked by Ciprian Manolescu: Consider a family of highly singular real-analytic function germs such that the Jacobian ideal is independent of the parameter in a small disk at 0. Is the homology of the Milnor fibres of the family ``constant'' in some sense? The authors introduce the notion of fibre consistancy and reformulate the question as follows: What natural (and minimal) condition implies that the deformation is a deformation with fibre constancy (DFC)? They give analytic and algebraic conditions under which a deformation of real analytic functions with non-isolated singular locus is a DFC.
