AbstractThe Milnor number $$\mu _f$$ μ f of a holomorphic function $$f :({\mathbb {C}}^n,0) \rightarrow ({\mathbb {C}},0)$$ f : ( C n , 0 ) → ( C , 0 ) with an isolated singularity has several different characterizations as, for example: 1) the number of critical points in a morsification of f, 2) the middle Betti number of its Milnor fiber $$M_f$$ M f , 3) the degree of the differential $${\text {d}}f$$ d f at the origin, and 4) the length of an analytic algebra due to Milnor’s formula $$\mu _f = \dim _{\mathbb {C}}{\mathcal {O}}_n/{\text {Jac}}(f)$$ μ f = dim C O n / Jac ( f ) . Let $$(X,0) \subset ({\mathbb {C}}^n,0)$$ ( X , 0 ) ⊂ ( C n , 0 ) be an arbitrarily singular reduced analytic space, endowed with its canonical Whitney stratification and let $$f :({\mathbb {C}}^n,0) \rightarrow ({\mathbb {C}},0)$$ f : ( C n , 0 ) → ( C , 0 ) be a holomorphic function whose restriction f|(X, 0) has an isolated singularity in the stratified sense. For each stratum $${\mathscr {S}}_\alpha $$ S α let $$\mu _f(\alpha ;X,0)$$ μ f ( α ; X , 0 ) be the number of critical points on $${\mathscr {S}}_\alpha $$ S α in a morsification of f|(X, 0). We show that the numbers $$\mu _f(\alpha ;X,0)$$ μ f ( α ; X , 0 ) generalize the classical Milnor number in all of the four characterizations above. To this end, we describe a homology decomposition of the Milnor fiber $$M_{f|(X,0)}$$ M f | ( X , 0 ) in terms of the $$\mu _f(\alpha ;X,0)$$ μ f ( α ; X , 0 ) and introduce a new homological index which computes these numbers directly as a holomorphic Euler characteristic. We furthermore give an algorithm for this computation when the closure of the stratum is a hypersurface.

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Ancient lake sediments of Bibirevo section in the Yaroslavl and Kostroma Volga region are studied by means of graphical analysis of taxonomical structure of diatom complexes. This method allowed to record critical points (change of areas of stability) in the development of a Neopleistocene lake during the transition from stage to stage, as well as from phase to phase.
