A stable deformation of a real map-germ is said to be an M-deformation if all isolated stable (local and multi-local) singularities of its complexification are real. A related notion is that of a good real perturbation of f (studied e.g. by Mond and his coworkers) for which the homology of the image (for n < p) or discriminant (for n ≥ p) of coincides with that of . The class of map germs having an M-deformation is, in some sense, much larger than the one having a good real perturbation. We show that all singular map-germs of minimal corank (i.e. of corank max(n-p+1,1)) and -codimension 1 have an M-deformation. More generally, there is the question whether all -simple singular map-germs of minimal corank have an M-deformation. The answer is “yes” for the following three dimension ranges (n,p): n ≥ p, p ≥ 2n and p = n + 1, n ≠ 4. We describe some new techniques for obtaining these results, which lead to simpler proofs and also to new results in the dimension range n + 2 ≤ p ≤ 2n - 1.
