Abstract

We discuss an approach to the problem of classifying zero-dimensional gradient quasihomogeneous singularities using simple properties of deformation theory. As an example, we enumerate all such singularities with modularity $\mathscr{P} = 0$ and with Milnor number not greater than $12$. We also compute normal forms and monomial vector-bases of the first cotangent homology and cohomology modules, the corresponding Poincaré polynomials, inner modality, inner modularity, primitive ideals, etc.

Keywords

gradient singularities, multiple points, deformations, cotangent homology and cohomology, primitive ideals, complete intersections, inner modality and modularity
