Some remarks about $$ \rho $$ -regularity for real analytic maps

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the concept of \(\rho \)-regularity of analytic map germs and its close relationship with the existence of locally trivial smooth fibrations, known as the Milnor tube fibrations. The presence of a Thom regular stratification or the Milnor condition (b) at the origin, indicates the transversality of the fibers of the map G with respect to the levels of a function \(\rho \), which guarantees \(\rho \)-regularity. Consequently, both conditions are crucial for the presence of fibration structures. The work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the main results concerning the existence of Thom regular stratifications and the Milnor condition (b) for germs of analytic maps. It presents strategies and criteria to identify and ensure these regularity conditions and discusses situations where they may not be satisfied. The goal is to understand the presence and limitations of these conditions in various contexts.
