Vanishing cohomology of singularities of mappings
We consider a contractible closure of the space of Legendrian knots in the standard contact 3-space. We show that in this context the space of finite-type complex-valued invariants of Legendrian knots is isomorphic to that of framed knots in with an extra order 1 generator (Maslov index) added.
We obtain a complete list of simple framed curve singularities in ℂ² and ℂ³ up to the framed equivalence. We also find all the adjacencies between simple framed curves.
