Lev Birbrair, Alexandre Fernandes, Edson Sampaio, L\^e D. Trang

TL;DR
This paper proves that complex algebraic sets with Lipschitz regularity are necessarily smooth, extending Mumford's classical theorem without restrictions on dimension or isolated singularities.
Contribution
It establishes that Lipschitz regularity implies smoothness for complex algebraic sets in any dimension, generalizing previous results.
Findings
Lipschitz regularity guarantees smoothness in complex algebraic sets
No restriction on dimension or isolated singularities is necessary
Extends Mumford's theorem to a broader class of sets
Abstract
The classical Theorem of Mumford states that a topologically regular complex algebraic surface in with an isolated singular point is smooth. We proof that any Lipschitz regular complex algebraic set is smooth. No restriction on the dimension is needed. No restriction of singularity to be isolated is needed.
