Résume | (Joint work with Anne Pichon). If one considers a complex analytic germ with its outer bilipschitz geometry just as a topological object, i.e., a metric space with metric only determined up to bilipschitz equivalence, one can often still recover a large amount of analytic information about the germ. Anne Pichon, near the end of her seminar talk two weeks ago, described many of the analytic invariants of a normal surface germ that can still be seen when only its topology and bilipschitz metric are known. After reviewing this I will describe some of the techniques we use to recover these invariants. |
