Thom polynomials for open Whitney umbrellas of isotropic mappings
A smooth mapping of a smooth n-dimensional manifold L into a smooth 2n-dimensional symplectic manifold (M,ω) is called isotropic if f*ω vanishes. In the last ten years, the local theory of singularities of isotropic mappings has been rapidly developed by Arnol’d, Givental’ and several authors, while it seems that the global theory of their singularities has not been well studied except for the work of Givental’ [G1] in the case of dimension 2 (cf. [A], [Au], [I2], [I-O]). In the present paper,...
