Local topological algebraicity of analytic function germs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: T. Mostowski showed that every (real or complex) germ of an analytic set is homeomorphic to the germ of an algebraic set. In this paper we show that every (real or complex) analytic function germ, defined on a possibly singular analytic space, is topologically equivalent to a polynomial function germ defined on an affine algebraic variety.


The aim of the paper is to prove that any real or analytic function germ defined on an analytic space is topologically equivalent to a polynomial germ defined on an affine algebraic variety. A similar assertion for germs of analytic sets has originated in [\textit{T. Mostowski}, Bull. Pol. Acad. Sci., Math. 32, 393--400 (1984; Zbl 0579.32007)]. Above all, the authors also discuss the case of families of germs and show on simple examples that the \(C^1\)-analogs of both statements are false.
