We prove a generalization of Thom’s transversality theorem. It gives conditions under which the jet map f * | Y : Y J r ( D , M ) J r ( D , N ) is generically (for f : M N ) transverse to a submanifold Z J r ( D , N ) . We apply this to study transversality properties of a restriction of a fixed map g : M P to the preimage ( j s f ) - 1 ( A ) of a submanifold A J s ( M , N ) in terms of transversality properties of the original map f . Our main result is that for a reasonable class of submanifolds A and a generic map f the restriction g | ( j s f ) - 1 ( A ) is also generic. We also present an example of A where the theorem fails.

AB - We prove a generalization of Thom’s transversality theorem. It gives conditions under which the jet map $f_*|_Y\colon Y\subseteq J^r(D,M)\rightarrow J^r(D,N)$ is generically (for $f\colon M\rightarrow N$) transverse to a submanifold $Z\subseteq J^r(D,N)$. We apply this to study transversality properties of a restriction of a fixed map $g\colon M\rightarrow P$ to the preimage $(j^sf)^{-1}(A)$ of a submanifold $A\subseteq J^s(M,N)$ in terms of transversality properties of the original map $f$. Our main result is that for a reasonable class of submanifolds $A$ and a generic map $f$ the restriction $g|_{(j^sf)^{-1}(A)}$ is also generic. We also present an example of $A$ where the theorem fails.
