RT Journal Article T1 Contact loci and Hironaka's order A1 Bravo, A. A1 Encinas, S. A1 Pascual Escudero, Beatriz AB We study contact loci sets of arcs and the behavior of Hironaka’s order function defined in constructive Resolution of singularities. We show that this function can be read in terms of the irreducible components of the contact loci sets at a singular point of an algebraic variety.
