Let X ⊂ kⁿ be a smooth affine variety of dimension n-r and let $f=(f₁,...,f_m):X\to k^m$ be a polynomial dominant mapping. It is well-known that the mapping f is a locally trivial fibration outside a small closed set B(f). It can be proved (using a general Fibration Theorem of Rabier) that the set B(f) is contained in the set K(f) of generalized critical values of f. In this note we study the Rabier function. We give a few equivalent expressions for this function, in particular we compare this function with the Kuo function...

It is well-known that the versal deformations of nonsimple singularities depend on moduli. The first step in deeper understanding of this phenomenon is to determine the versal discriminant, which roughly speaking is an obstacle for analytic triviality of an unfolding or deformation along the moduli. The goal of this paper is to describe the versal discriminant of $Z_{k,0}$ and $Q_{k,0}$ singularities basing on the fact that the deformations of these singularities may be obtained as blowing ups of certain deformations...

It is well known that versal deformations of nonsimple singularities depend on moduli. However they can be topologically trivial along some or all of them. The first step in the investigation of this phenomenon is to determine the versal discriminant (unstable locus), which roughly speaking is the obstacle to analytic triviality. The next one is to construct continuous liftable vector fields smooth far from the versal discriminant and to integrate them. In this paper we extend the results of J....

It is well known that the versal deformations of nonsimple singularities depend on moduli. The first step in deeper understanding of this phenomenon is to determine the versal discriminant, which roughly speaking is an obstacle to analytic triviality of an unfolding or deformation along the moduli. The versal discriminant of the Pham singularity ($J_{3,0}$ in Arnold’s classification) was thoroughly investigated by J. Damon and A. Galligo [2], [3], [4]. The goal of this paper is to continue their work and...
