Abstract

We show that Thom polynomials of Lagrangian singularities have nonnegative coefficients in the basis consisting of Q-functions. The main tool in the proof is nonnegativity of cone classes for globally generated bundles.

16 pages, reduced introduction but new chapter about Legendrian singularities. The title is change. Correction in the formula for A_7 and a sign correction in formula (29)
