Parusinski's ``Key Lemma'' via algebraic geometry
Z. Reichstein and B. Youssin
Abstract.
The following ``Key Lemma'' plays an important role in the work by
Parusi\'nski
on the existence of Lipschitz stratifications in the class of
semianalytic sets:
For any positive integer $n$, there is a finite set of homogeneous
symmetric polynomials $W_1, \dots ,W_N$ in $Z[x_1,\dots,x_n]$
and a constant $M >0$ such that
\[ |dx_i/x_i| \le M \max_{j = 1, \dots, N} |dW_j/W_j| \; , \]
as densely defined functions on the tangent bundle of $\bbC^n$.
We give a new algebro-geometric proof of this result.
