Explicit reconstruction of homogeneous isolated hypersurface singularities from their Milnor algebras

Abstract

By the Mather-Yau theorem, a complex hypersurface germ $V$ with isolated singularity is completely determined by its moduli algebra $A(V)$. The proof of the theorem does not provide an explicit procedure for recovering $V$ from $A(V)$, and finding such a procedure is a long-standing open problem. In this paper, we present an explicit way for reconstructing $V$ from $A(V)$ up to biholomorphic equivalence under the assumption that the singularity of $V$ is homogeneous, in which case $A(V)$ coincides with the Milnor algebra of $V$.
