On pairs of foliations of a parabolic cross-cap (Q2431081)

The paper focuses on the investigation of the configurations of the asymptotic and characteristic curves on a parabolic cross-cap. The author obtains the topological configurations of these foliations both in the domain of a parametrization of such a surface, and on the surface itself. He constructs a natural one-parameter family of surfaces with cross-cap singularities in which the parabolic cross-cap is the transition from a hyperbolic cross-cap to an elliptic cross-cap, and studies the bifurcations of the asymptotic and characteristic curves in this family.
