We give a complete proof that L_t is a Waldhausen graph manifold and we provide the tools to construct its plumbing graph. As an example, we give the plumbing graph associated to the germs z^2 - (x^2 - y^3)y^l = 0 with l an interger >1. We prove that the boundary of the Milnor fiber is a Waldhausen manifold new in complex geometry, as it cannot be the boundary of a normal surface singularity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-05-04T13:51:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J17", "32S25", "57M25" ], "keywords": [ "milnor fiber", "complex surfaces", "non-isolated germs", "non-reduced plane curve germ", "plumbing graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......5123M" } } }
