On the geometry of folded cuspidal edges

Abstract

We study the geometry of cuspidal SkS_k singularities in R3\mathbb R^3 obtained by folding generically a cuspidal edge. In particular we study the geometry of the cuspidal cross-cap MM, i.e. the cuspidal S0S_0 singularity. We study geometrical invariants associated to MM and show that they determine it up to order 5. We then study the flat geometry (contact with planes) of a generic cuspidal cross-cap by classifying submersions which preserve it and relate the singularities of the resulting height functions with the geometric invariants.

Comments

Second version generalizes some results for all cuspidal $S_k$ singularities, not only the cuspidal cross-cap
