ON THE MILNOR FIBRATION OF CERTAIN NEWTON DEGENERATE FUNCTIONS

Abstract

Abstract It is well known that the diffeomorphism type of the Milnor fibration of a (Newton) nondegenerate polynomial function f is uniquely determined by the Newton boundary of f. In the present paper, we generalize this result to certain degenerate functions, namely we show that the diffeomorphism type of the Milnor fibration of a (possibly degenerate) polynomial function of the form $f=f^1\cdots f^{k_0}$ is uniquely determined by the Newton boundaries of $f^1,\ldots , f^{k_0}$ if $\{f^{k_1}=\cdots =f^{k_m}=0\}$ is a nondegenerate complete intersection variety for any $k_1,\ldots ,k_m\in \{1,\ldots , k_0\}$ .
