Giving a plane branch C with semigroup Γ there are a finitely number of distinct possible sets Λ i according to the analytic class of C. In this work we show that the value set of 1-forms Λ determines the semigroup Γ and we present an effective method to recover Γ by Λ. In particular, this allows us to decide if a subset of N is a value set of 1-forms for a plane branch.

In this paper we consider the set of values of differentials Λ k of C k , that is an analytical invariant, and we show how it determine part of the set of values of differentials Λ of C. As a consequence, in a fixed topological class, we relate the Tjurina number τ of C with the Tjurina number of C k. In particular, we show that τ ≤ µ − 3ng −2 4 µ g−1 where n g = gcd(v 0 ,. .. , v g−1), µ and µ g−1 denote the Milnor number of C and C g−1 respectively. If n g = 2, we have that τ = µ − µ g−1 for any curve in the topological class determined by Γ that is a generalization of a result obtained by Luengo and Pfister.

As a set, Γ determines and is determined by the well known semigroup of values S and we prove that Γ is always finitely generated in contrast to S. In particular, for a plane curve, we present a straightforward way to obtain Γ in terms of the semiring of each branch of the curve and the mutual intersection multiplicity of its branches. In the analytical case, this allows us to connect directly the results of Zariski and Waldi that characterize the topological type of the curve.

This allows us to determine the semimodule of values of I. When I = O, we may obtain a (finite) set of generators of the semiring of values of the curve, which determines its classical semigroup.

Our result will refine the rough description of the factorization given by M. Merle in [M] and it is based on the result given by E. Casas-Alvero in [C2] that describes the cluster of the singularities of such polars. By using our analysis, it will be possible to characterize all equisingularity classes of irreducible plane germs with r characteristic exponents having the exceptional behavior that the general polar of a general curve in this equisingularity class has only irreducible components with less than r characteristic exponents, generalizing a result obtained for r = 2 in [HHI1].
