Abstract: We study the classification of plane curve singularities in arbitrary characteristic. We first give a bound for the determinacy of a plane curve singularity with respect to pararametrization equivalence in terms of its conductor. Then we classify parametrization simple plane curve singularities which are irreducible by giving a concrete list of normal forms of equations and parametrizations. In characteristic zero, the classification of parametrization simple irreducible plane curve singularities was achieved by Bruce and Gaffney.


Let \(K\) be an algebraically closed field. A parametrization of an irreducible germ of a plane curve singularity is given by a pair \((x(t),y(t))\) of power series, \(x(t), y(t) \in Kt\) such that dim\(_K Kt/Kx(t),y(t)=: \delta<\infty\). Two parametrizations \((x(t),y(t))\) and \((\overline{x}(t),\overline{y}(t))\) are \(\mathcal{A}-\)equivalent (\((x(t),y(t))\thicksim_\mathcal{A} (\overline{x}(t),\overline{y}(t))\)) if there exist automorphisms \[\psi:Kt\rightarrow Kt \text{ and } \phi=(\phi_1,\phi_2):Kx,y\rightarrow Kx,y\] such that \[(x(\psi(t)),y(\psi(t)))=(\phi_1(\overline{x}(t),\overline{y}(t)),\phi_2(\overline{x}(t),\overline{y}(t))).\] A parametrization \((x(t),y(t))\) is called simple if there are only finitely many \(\mathcal{A}-\) equivalent classes in a deformation of \((x(t),y(t))\). A bound for the determinacy in terms of the conductor is given. Simple parametrizations are classified and compared with the corresponding classification of hypersurfaces of \textit{V. I. Arnol'd} [Funct. Anal. Appl. 6, 254--272 (1973; Zbl 0278.57011); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 6, No. 4, 3--25 (1972)] (in characteristic zero) and \textit{G. M. Greuel} and \textit{H. Kröning} [Math. Z. 203, No. 2, 339--354 (1990; Zbl 0715.14001)] (in characteristic \(p>0\)).
