On perturbations of singular complex analytic curves

TL;DR
The paper addresses when perturbations of a singular 1-dimensional complex analytic curve necessarily intersect the original curve, focusing on small Hausdorff perturbations near a singular point. It develops a concrete sufficient condition: in a good neighborhood, a nearby 1-dimensional variety $W$ with at most one non-normal crossing discriminant point relative to a projection has to intersect $V$ for sufficiently small $d_H(V,W)$, with the threshold depending on the neighborhood. The approach combines Puiseux parametrizations, discriminant-stability under perturbations, and Lyubich-Peters-type intersection arguments, and extends to holomorphic multifunctions and a higher-dimensional analog for finite holomorphic mappings. Together, these results illuminate the local stability of singular curves under perturbations and connect complex-analytic geometry with dynamical considerations and finite-mapping theory.
Abstract
Suppose $V$ is a singular complex analytic curve inside $\mathbb{C}^{2}$. We investigate when a singular or non-singular complex analytic curve $W$ inside $\mathbb{C}^{2}$ with sufficiently small Hausdorff distance $d_{H}(V, W)$ from $V$ must intersect $V$. We obtain a sufficient condition on $W$ which when satisfied gives an affirmative answer to our question. More precisely, we show the intersection is non-empty for any such $W$ that admits at most one non-normal crossing type discriminant point associated with some proper projection. As an application, we prove a special case of the higher-dimensional analog, and also a holomorphic multifunction analog of a result by Lyubich-Peters.
