Apéry basis and polar invariants of plane curve singularities

Angel Granja

Vol. 140 (1989), No. 1, 85–96
Abstract

Let C be an irreducible plane algebroid curve singularity over an algebraically closed field K, defined by a power series f K[[X,Y ]]. In this paper, we study those power series h K[[X,Y ]] for which the intersection multiplicity (f h) = dimK(K[[X,Y ]](f,y)) is an element of the Apéry basis of the value semigroup for C. We prove a factorization theorem for these power series, obtaining strong properties of their irreducible factors. In particular we show that some results by M. Merle and R. Ephraim are a special case of this theorem.
