Abstract
We study deformations of isolated curve singularities of arbitrary embedding dimension which may have embedded components. The existence of an embedded component has the effect that the generic fibre consists of isolated (fat) points and disjoint 1-dimensional components. We introduce for isolated curve singularities and for fat points a Milnor number μ and a σ-invariant which generalize the well known invariants for reduced curve singularities. The invariants μ, σ and the length of the embedded component control the topology of the generic fibre in a way which is surprisingly similar to the case of reduced curves, although many new phenomena occur.
