Differential invariance of the multiplicity of real and complex analytic sets

Abstract

This paper is devoted to proving the differential invariance of the multiplicity of real and complex analytic sets. In particular, we prove the real version of Gau-Lipman's Theorem, i.e., it is proved that the multiplicity mod 2 of real analytic sets is a differential invariant. We prove also a generalization of Gau-Lipman's Theorem.
