Lips and swallow-tails of singularities of product maps

arXiv:1305.1168 · doi:10.5427/jsing.2014.10t

Abstract

Lips and swallow-tails are generic local moves of singularities of a smooth map to a 2-manifold. We prove that these moves of singularities of the product map of two functions on a 3-manifold can be realized by isotopies of the functions.
