Classifying codimension 2 multigerms

Abstract

We generalise the operations of augmentation and concatenations in order to obtain multigerms of analytic (or smooth) maps $(\mathbb K^n,S)\rightarrow(\mathbb K^p,0)$ with $\mathbb K=\mathbb C$ or $\mathbb R$ from monogerms and some special multigerms. We then prove that any corank 1 codimension 2 multigerm in Mather's nice dimensions $(n,p)$ with $n\geq p-1$ can be constructed using augmentations and these operations.
