Abstract: We study the regularity of the roots of complex monic polynomials $P(t)$ of fixed degree depending smoothly on a real parameter $t$. We prove that each continuous parameterization of the roots of a generic $C^{i}nfty$ curve $P(t)$ (which always exists) is locally absolutely continuous. Generic means that no two of the continuously chosen roots meet of infinite order of flatness. Simple examples show that one cannot expect a better regularity than absolute continuity. This result will follow from the proposition that for any $t_0$ there exists a positive integer $N$ such that $tmapstoP(t_{0}pm(t-t_0{)}^N)$ admits smooth parameterizations of its roots near $t_0$. We show that $C^n$ curves $P(t)$ (where $n=degP$) admit differentiable roots if and only if the order of contact of the roots is $ge1$. We give applications to the perturbation theory of normal matrices and unbounded normal operators with compact resolvents and common domain of definition: The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a generic $C^{i}nfty$ curve of such operators can be arranged locally in an absolutely continuous way.
