Abstract

We find and describe unexpected isomorphisms between two very different objects associated to hypersurface singularities. One object is the Milnor algebra of a function, while the other object is the local ring of the flatness stratum of the singular locus in a miniversal deformation, an invariant of the contact class of a defining function. Such isomorphisms exist for unimodal hypersurface singularities. However, for the moment it is not well understood, which principle causes these isomorphisms and how far this observation generalises. Here, we also provide an algorithmic approach for checking algebra isomorphy.
