Abstract

We describe a generalization of Milnor's formula for the Milnor number of an isolated hypersurface singularity to the case of a function \(f\) whose restriction \(f|(X,0)\) to an arbitrarily singular reduced complex analytic space \((X,0) \subset (\mathbb C^n,0)\) has an isolated singularity in the stratified sense. The corresponding analogue of the Milnor number, \(\mu_f(\alpha;X,0)\), is the number of Morse critical points in a stratum \(\mathscr S_\alpha\) of \((X,0)\) in a morsification of \(f|(X,0)\). Our formula expresses \(\mu_f(\alpha;X,0)\) as a homological index based on the derived geometry of the Nash modification of the closure of the stratum \(\mathscr S_\alpha\). While most of the topological aspects in this setup were already understood, our considerations provide the corresponding analytic counterpart. We also describe how to compute the numbers \(\mu_f(\alpha;X,0)\) by means of our formula in the case where the closure \(\overline{ \mathscr S_\alpha} \subset X\) of the stratum in question is a hypersurface.
