The main result of this note is the following Theorem. Let \(f:(\mathbb{C}^2,0) \to (\mathbb{C},0)\) be a real analytic germ with an isolated critical point at the origin. If the zero-level curve \(\{f=0\}\) of \(f\) has one real component, then there exists a real deformation \(\widehat f\) of \(f\) without real critical points. The author establishes this result to answer a question by B. Teissier about germs of \(C^\infty\)-functions \(f:(\mathbb{R}^n,0) \to (\mathbb{R},0)\) in the case \(n=2\): Theorem. A germ \(f: (\mathbb{R}^2,0) \to (\mathbb{R},0)\) of a \(C^\infty\)-function with an algebraically isolated critical point at the origin has a deformation without critical points if and only if its zero-level curve \(\{f=0\}\) consists of one branch. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0870.00037].
