Abstract: We give a global version of Le-Ramanujam mu-constant theorem for polynomials. Let f_t, (t in [0,1]), be a family of polynomials of n complex variables with isolated singularities, whose coefficients are polynomials in t. We consider the case where some numerical invariants are constant (the affine Milnor number, the Milnor number at infinity, the number of critical values, the number of affine critical values, the number of critical values at infinity). Let n=2, we also suppose the degree of the f_t is a constant, then the polynomials f_0 and f_1 are topologically equivalent. For n>3 we suppose that critical values at infinity depend continuously on t, then we prove that the geometric monodromy representations of the f_t, are all equivalent.

Review text

Let \(f_t : {\mathbb C}^n \to {\mathbb C}\), \(t \in [0,1]\), be a family of polynomial maps, \(f_t \in {\mathbb C}[t,x_1, \dots, x_n]\), \(n \geq 2\), having only isolated singularities and \(\mu(t)\) the (affine) Milnor number (the sum of the local Milnor numbers at critical points of \(f_t\)) and \(\lambda(t)\) the Milnor number at infinity (the sum of the local Milnor numbers at critical points of \(f_t\) at infinity). Suppose that \(\mu(t)\), \(\lambda (t)\), the number of critical points and the number of critical points at infinity for fixed \(t\) do not depend on \(t\). Moreover, suppose that the critical values at infinity depend continuously on \(t\). Then the fibrations \(f_0^{-1}({\mathbb C} \smallsetminus B\bigl(0)\bigr) \to {\mathbb C} \smallsetminus B(0)\) and \(f_1^{-1}\bigl({\mathbb C} \smallsetminus B(1)\bigr) \to {\mathbb C} \smallsetminus B(1)\) are fibre homotopy equivalent and for \(n \not= 3\) differentiably isomorphic. Here \(B(0)\), resp.\ \(B(1)\), is the set of critical points of \(f_0\), resp.\ \(f_1\). Under the additional assumption that \(\lambda(t) = 0\) and \(n \not= 3\), it is proved that \(f_0\) and \(f_1\) are topologically equivalent. In the case \(n = 2\) the same holds without requiring \(\lambda(t) = 0\) but \(\deg(f_t)\) not depending on \(t\).
