Soient f,g:(Cn,0)(C,0) des germes de fonctions holomorphes réduits. Nous montrons que f et g ont la même multiplicité en 0 si et seulement s'il existe des germes réduits f et g analytiquement équivalents à f et g, respectivement, tels que f et g satisfassent une inégalité du type de Rouché par rapport à un ‘petit’ cercle générique autour de 0. Comme application, nous donnons une reformulation de la question de Zariski sur la multiplicité et une réponse partielle positive à celle-ci.

Let f,g:(Cn,0)(C,0) be reduced germs of holomorphic functions. We show that f and g have the same multiplicity at 0, if and only if, there exist reduced germs f and g analytically equivalent to f and g, respectively, such that f and g satisfy a Rouché type inequality with respect to a generic ‘small’ circle around 0. As an application, we give a reformulation of Zariski's multiplicity question and a partial positive answer to it.
