AB - The normal cycle of a singular subset $X$ of a smooth manifold is a basic tool for understanding and computing the curvature of $X$. If $X$ is replaced by a singular function on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ then there is a natural companion notion called the gradient cycle of $f$, which has been introduced by the author and by R. Jerrard. We discuss a few fundamental facts and open problems about functions $f$ that admit gradient cycles, with particular attention to the first nontrivial dimension $n=2$.
