On local invariants of totally real surfaces

abstract:
A class of totally real surface singularities is introduced for which one can define local topological invariants. The main result yields an algebraic estimate for the self-intersection index of a totally real germ. It is derived from an algebraic upper estimate for the index of a quasi-homogeneous vector field which generalizes the previously known estimates in terms of the so-called Petrovsky numbers
