Abstract
Let be an oriented 2-manifold and a -map. A point is called a singular point if is not an immersion at . The map is called a front (or wave front), if there exists a unit -vector field such that the image of each tangent vector is perpendicular to , and the pair gives an immersion into . In our previous paper, we gave an intrinsic formulation of wave fronts in . In this paper, we shall investigate the behavior of cuspidal edges near corank one singular points and establish Gauss-Bonnet-type formulas under the intrinsic formulation.
