Equisingular deformations of plane curves in arbitrary characteristic

Equisingular deformations of plane curves in arbitrary characteristic

The purpose of this paper is to develop the theory of equisingular deformations of plane curve singularities in arbitrary characteristic. We study equisingular deformations of the parametrization and of the equation and show that the base space of its semiuniversal deformation is smooth in both cases. Our approach through deformations …
