Inspired by the properties of an $n$-frame of gradients $(\nabla f_1, \ldots, \nabla f_n)$ of a Morin map $f:M\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^n$, with $\dim M\geq n$, we introduce the notion of Morin singularities in the context of singular $n$-coframes and singular $n$-frames. We also study the singularities of generic 1-forms …

In the first part of the paper we construct a ring structure on the rational cobordism classes of Morin maps (i. e. smooth generic maps of corank 1). We show that associating to a Morin map its singular strata defines a ring homomorphism to $Ω_* \otimes \Q$, the rational oriented cobordism ring. This is proved by analy…

We give criteria for Morin singularities for germs of maps into lower dimensions. As an application, we study the bifurcation of Lefschetz singularities.

In [2], N.Dutertre and T. Fukui used Viro's integral calculus to study the topology of stable maps $f:M\rightarrow N$ between two smooth manifolds $M$ and $N$. They also discussed several applications to Morin maps. In particular, in Theorem 6.2 [2], they show an equality relating the Euler characteristic of a compact …

Study on singularities of bundle homomorphisms induced by Morin maps.

We prove that the homotopy class of a Morin mapping f: P^p --> Q^q with p-q odd contains a cusp mapping. This affirmatively solves a strengthened version of the Chess conjecture [DS Chess, A note on the classes [S_1^k(f)], Proc. Symp. Pure Math., 40 (1983) 221-224] and [VI Arnol'd, VA Vasil'ev, VV Goryunov, OV Lyashenk…

The paper finds a geometric explanation for coinciding Thom polynomials of cusp and corank-2 singularities.

We define an equivalence relation called A-isotopy between finitely determined map-germs, which is a strengthened version of A-equivalence. We consider the number of A-isotopy classes of equidimensional Morin singularities, and some other well-known low-dimensional singularities. We also give an application to stable p…

Cobordism groups of cooriented fold maps of codimension 1 are computed completely. Namely their odd torsion part coincides with that of the stable homotopy group of spheres in the same dimension, while the 2-primary part is the kernel of the Kahn-Priddy map. (The Kahn-Priddy map is an epimorhism of the stable homotopy …

We investigate how Viro's integral calculus applies for the study of the topology of stable maps. We also discuss several applications to Morin maps and complex maps.

We give criteria for Morin singularities into higher dimensions. As an application, we study the number of A-isotopy classes of Morin singularities.

We establish an interesting connection between Morin singularities and stable homotopy groups of spheres. We apply this connection to computations of cobordism groups of certain singular maps. The differentials of the spectral sequence computing these cobordism groups are given by the composition multiplication in the …

We establish a connection between Morin singularities and stable homotopy groups of spheres. This connection allows us to describe how the images of singularity strata behave around the image of a more complicated stratum.

For decades, the sphere eversion has been a classic subject for mathematical visualization. The 1998 video "The Optiverse" shows geometrically optimal eversions created by minimizing elastic bending energy. We contrast these minimax eversions with earlier ones, including those by Morin, Phillips, Max, and Thurston. The…

A singular point of a smooth map F: M -> N of manifolds is a point in M at which the rank of the differential dF is less than the minimum of dimensions of M and N. The classical invariant of the set S of singular points of F of a given type is defined by taking the fundamental class [\bar{S}]\in H_*(M) of the closure o…

Let $X$ be a compact smooth manifold with boundary. In this article, we study the spaces $\mathcal V^\dagger(X)$ and $\mathcal V^\ddagger(X)$ of so called boundary generic and traversally generic vector fields on $X$ and the place they occupy in the space $\mathcal V(X)$ of all fields (see Theorems \ref{th3.4} and Theo…

In this paper, we discuss the recognition problem for A_k-type singularities on wave fronts. We give computable and simple criteria of these singularities, which will play a fundamental role in generalizing the authors' previous work "the geometry of fronts" for surfaces. The crucial point to prove our criteria for A_k…

Both bi-harmonic map and $f$-harmonic map have nice physical motivation and applications. In this paper, by combination of these two harmonic maps, we introduce and study $f$-bi-harmonic maps as the critical points of the $f$-bi-energy functional $\frac{1}{2}\int_M f|τ(φ)|^2dv_{g}$. This class of maps generalizes both …

The hyperelliptic mapping class group has been studied in various contexts within topology and algebraic geometry. What makes this study tractable is that there is a surjective map from the hyperelliptic mapping class group to a mapping class group of a punctured sphere. The more general family of superelliptic mapping…
