Abstract
It was recently proved that for finitely determined germs Φ:(C2,0)→(C3,0)\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$ \\Phi : ( \\mathbb C^2, 0) \\rightarrow ( \\mathbb C^3, 0) $$\\end{document} the number C(Φ)\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$C(\\Phi )$$\\end{document} of Whitney umbrella points and the number T(Φ)\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$T(\\Phi )$$\\end{document} of triple values of a stable deformation are topological invariants. The proof uses the fact that the combination C(Φ)-3T(Φ)\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$C(\\Phi )-3T(\\Phi )$$\\end{document} is topological since it equals the linking invariant of the associated immersion S3↬S5\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$S^3 \\looparrowright S^5$$\\end{document} introduced by Ekholm and Szűcs. We provide a new, direct proof for this equality. We also clarify the relation between various definitions of the linking invariant.
