On the bi-Lipschitz contact equivalence of plane complex function-germs

Abstract

In this short note, we consider the problem of bi-Lipschitz contact equivalence of complex analytic function-germs of two variables. It is inquiring about the infinitesimal sizes of such function-germs, up to bi-Lipschitz changes of coordinates. We show that this problem is equivalent to the problem of the right topological classification.

The second version is substantially modified. 1) We have dropped section 5 of the first version. 2) The introduction is slightly modified. 3) Section 3 has been augmented with a correct statement of its main result (now referred as) Theorem 3.6. as a consequence of new Lemmas 3.1 and 3.2. Is also now given a proof of Proposition 3.7
