Abstract

We undertake a systematic study of Lipschitz normally embedded normal complex surface germs. We prove, in particular, that the topological type of such a germ determines the combinatorics of its minimal resolution which factors through the blowup of its maximal ideal and through its Nash transform, as well as the polar curve and the discriminant curve of a generic plane projection, thus generalizing results of Spivakovsky and Bondil that were known for minimal surface singularities. In an appendix, we give a new example of a Lipschitz normally embedded surface singularity.
