Abstract:
The Brasselet number of a function f with nonisolated singularities describes numerically the topological information of its generalized Milnor fibre. In this work, we consider two function-germs f and g on a complex analytic space X such that f has a stratified isolated singularity at the origin and g has a stratified one-dimensional critical set. We use the Brasselet number to study the local topology of a deformation of g defined by adding a large power of f. As an application of this study, we present a new proof of the Lê-Yomdin formula for the Brasselet number.
