Consider the diagram
where
Y
is a germ of a 1-parameter flat
1
family of algebraic varieties with dim
Y
≥3, such that the fibres
Y
t
are reduced irreducible for
t
#0, and the central fibre
Y
0
splits into a few reduced components. Further on,
X
is a germ of a 1-parameter flat family of subvarieties
X
t
у
Y
t
for
t
∈ (ℂ, 0). When considering the diagram (2.1) over the reals, we assume that
X
and
Y
are equipped with a complex conjugation which commutes with the projections, and we restrict the parameter range to
t
∈ [0, τ), τ>0, taking the respective preimages in
X
and
Y
.
