Abstract: We describe a generalization of Milnor's formula for the Milnor number of an isolated hypersurface singularity to the case of a function $f$ whose restriction $f|(X,0)$ to an arbitrarily singular reduced complex analytic space $(X,0)subset(mathbb{C}^n,0)$ has an isolated singularity in the stratified sense. The corresponding analogue of the Milnor number, $m{u}_f(alpha;X,0)$, is the number of Morse critical points in a stratum $mathscr{S}_{a}lpha$ of $(X,0)$ in a morsification of $f|(X,0)$. Our formula expresses $m{u}_f(alpha;X,0)$ as a homological index based on the derived geometry of the Nash modification of the closure of the stratum $mathscr{S}_{a}lpha$. While most of the topological aspects in this setup were already understood, our considerations provide the corresponding analytic counterpart. We also describe how to compute the numbers $m{u}_f(alpha;X,0)$ by means of our formula in the case where the closure $overlinemathscr{S}_{a}lphasubsetX$ of the stratum in question is a hypersurface.
