On the topology of wave fronts in spaces of low dimension (Q2889561)

The author calculates the adjacency indices for all singularities of generic wave fronts in spaces of dimension \(n\leq 6\). These computations are used to find all linear relations with real coefficients between the Euler characteristics of manifolds of singularities of a compact generic wave front in any smooth \(n\)-dimensional manifold.
