A Lower Bound on the Self-intersections of Fold Singularities
Joshua Drouin, Liam Kahmeyer
For an oriented surface , the singular set of a fold map is a collection of smooth curves, also known as fold singularities. We construct a sharp l…

A homotopy invariant of stable maps to oriented surfaces
Liam Kahmeyer, Rustam Sadykov
The singular set of a generic map of a manifold of dimension to an oriented surface is a closed smooth curve . We study the parity of the number…
