Also, we characterize in a simple way these singular surfaces and its fundamental forms with local properties in the differential of its parametrization and decompositions in the matrices associated to the fundamental forms. In particular we introduce new types of curvatures which can be used to characterize wave fronts. The only restriction on the parametrizations that is assumed in several occasions is that the singular set has empty interior.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-13T18:50:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53A40", "53A05", "57R45" ], "keywords": [ "singular surfaces", "limiting tangent planes", "fundamental theorem", "fundamental forms", "regular surfaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
