Abstract

In the second, fourth and fifth authors' previous work, a duality on generic real analytic cuspidal edges in the Euclidean 3-space R3\boldsymbol R^3 preserving their singular set images and first fundamental forms, was given. Here, we call this an `isometric duality'. When the singular set image has no symmetries and does not lie in a plane, the dual cuspidal edge is not congruent to the original one. In this paper, we show that this duality extends to generalized cuspidal edges in R3\boldsymbol R^3, including cuspidal cross caps, and 5/25/2-cuspidal edges. Moreover, we give several new geometric insights on this duality.
