Real deformations and complex topology of plane curve singularities

arXiv:alg-geom/9710023

Abstract

This is the paper as published. The topology of a complex plane curve singularity with real branches is deduced from any real deformation having delta crossings. An example of the computation of the global geometric monodromy of a polynomial mapping is added.
