Puiseux parametric equations of analytic sets

Abstract

We prove the existence of local Puiseux-type parameterizations of complex analytic sets via Laurent series convergent on wedges. We describe the wedges in terms of the Newton polyhedron of a function vanishing on the discriminant locus of a projection. The existence of a local parameterization of quasi-ordinary singularities of complex analytic sets of any codimension will come as a consequence of our main result.
