Abstract

Simple singularities of functions on space curves are classified. It is shown that their bifurcation sets have properties very similar to those of functions on smooth manifolds and complete intersections: the k(π, 1)-theorem for the bifurcation diagram of functions is true, and both this diagram and the discriminant are Saito's free divisors.
