Abstract: We classify isolated hypersurface singularities $finK[[x_1,\mathrm{...},x_n]]$, $K$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, which are simple w.r.t. right equivalence, that is, which have no moduli up to analytic coordinate change. For $K=mathbbR$ or $mathbbC$ this classification was initiated by Arnol'd, resulting in the famous ADE-series. The classification w.r.t. contact equivalence for $p>0$ was done by Greuel and Kr"oning with a result similar to Arnol'd's. It is surprising that w.r.t. right equivalence and for any given $p>0$ we have only finitely many simple singularities, i.e. there are only finitely many $k$ such that $A_k$ and $D_k$ are right simple, all the others have moduli. A major point of this paper is the generalization of the notion of modality to the algebraic setting, its behaviour under morphisms, and its relations to formal deformation theory. As an application we show that the modality is semicontinuous in any characteristic.

Review text

Let \(K\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>0\). Isolated simple singularities \(f\in Kx_1, \dots, x_n\) are classified with respect to right equivalence. The corresponding classification with respect to contact equivalence was done by \textit{G. M. Greuel} and \textit{H. Kröning} [Math. Z. 203, No. 2, 339--354 (1990; Zbl 0715.14001)]. Here the result was similar to Arnold's classification in characteristic \(0\). In case of right equivalence it turns out that there are only finitely many simple singularities.NEWLINENEWLINEThe classification is based on the generalization of the notion of modality to the algebraic setting. It is proved that the modality is semicontinuous in any characteristic.
