On the analytic equivalence of branches in (n+1)-space

Abstract

In this paper, we consider Newton-Puiseux parametrizations of irreducible curves in (n+1)-space, n greater or equal to 1, within a fixed semigroup under the action of Mather's group A. We establish criteria for eliminating parameters while preserving the Newton-Puiseux form, extending known results for plane curves.
