There are two main results: a determination of the modality of a generic function on any given two-dimensional quotient singularity and a listing of all the zero-modal functions. To achieve this, a comprehensive review of the invariant theory for free actions on C 2 is needed. The problem is put in context by a general discussion of classification of invariant functions, and several different extensions of the main results are indicated.
