Abstract: We study classical invariants for plane curve singularities $finK[[x,y]]$, $K$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic $pgeq0$: Milnor number, delta invariant, kappa invariant and multiplicity. It is known, in characteristic zero, that $mu(f)=2delta(f)-r(f)+1$ and that $kappa(f)=2delta(f)-r(f)+mathrmmt(f)$. For arbitrary characteristic, Deligne prove that there is always the inequality $mu(f)geq2delta(f)-r(f)+1$ by showing that $mu(f)-left(2delta(f)-r(f)+1ight)$ measures the wild vanishing cycles. By introducing new invariants $gamma,ildegamma$, we prove in this note that $kappa(f)geqgamma(f)+mathrmmt(f)-1geq2delta(f)-r(f)+mathrmmt(f)$ with equalities if and only if the characteristic $p$ does not divide the multiplicity of any branch of $f$. As an application we show that if $p$ is "big" for $f$ (in fact $p>kappa(f)$), then $f$ has no wild vanishing cycle. Moreover we obtain some Pl"ucker formulas for projective plane curves in positive characteristic.
