Abstract: | Lê numbers were introduced by Massey with the purposeof numerically controlling the topological properties of familiesof non-isolated hypersurface singularities and describing thetopology associated with a function with non-isolated singularities.They are a generalization of the Milnor number for isolatedhypersurface singularities. In this note the authors investigatethe composite of an arbitrary square-free f and z2. They geta formula for the Lê numbers of the composite, and considertwo applications of these numbers. The first application isconcerned with the extent to which the Lê numbers areinvariant in a family of functions which satisfy some equisingularitycondition, the second is a quick proof of a new formula forthe Euler obstruction of a hypersurface singularity. Severalexamples are computed using this formula including any X definedby a function which only has transverse D(q, p) singularitiesoff the origin. |
