Abstract

In this paper we present new results about the topology of the Milnor fibrations of analytic function-germs with a special attention to the topology of the fibers. In particular, we provide a short review on the existence of the Milnor fibrations in the real and complex cases. This allows us to compare our results with the previous ones.

  1. In this case we say that 0 is an isolated singularity, or an isolated critical point, of g.
