Singularities of Legendre varieties, of evolvents and of fronts at an obstacle
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2008
Abstract
The Legendre manifolds are the maximal integral submanifolds of a contact manifold. The shortest path problem on a manifold with boundary leads to Legendre varieties. We find normal forms of their generic singularities in terms of binary forms invariants theory.
