Abstract

Let (X, 0) be an ICIS of dimension 2 and let \(f:(X,0)\rightarrow (\mathbb C^2,0)\) be a map germ with an isolated instability. We look at the invariants that appear when \(X_s\) is a smoothing of (X, 0) and \(f_s:X_s\rightarrow B_\epsilon \) is a stabilization of f. We find relations between these invariants and also give necessary and sufficient conditions for a 1-parameter family to be Whitney equisingular. As an application, we show that a family \((X_t,0)\) is Zariski equisingular if and only if it is Whitney equisingular and the numbers of cusps and double folds of a generic linear projection are constant with respect to t.
