Milnor fiber, Milnor map and Milnor fibration

For a hypersurface in $\mathbf{C}^{n+1}$ given by an equation $f = 0$ for some $f\in\mathbf{C}[[z_0,z_1,\ldots,z_n]]$ with an isolated singularity at zero…

There is also a rigid analytic version analytic Milnor fiber, which is a rigid variety over the nonarchimedean field of complex Laurent series associated to a complex hypersurface singularity. It has been used in the study of motivic zeta function via motivic integration on rigid varieties in
