Symplectic monodromy at radius zero and equimultiplicity of $\mu$-constant families

Abstract

We show that every family of isolated hypersurface singularities with constant Milnor number has constant multiplicity. To achieve this, we endow the A’Campo model of “radius zero” monodromy with a symplectic structure. This new approach allows to generalize a spectral sequence of McLean converging to fixed point Floer homology of iterates of the monodromy to a more general setting which is well suited to study $\mu$-constant families.
