      [For the entire collection see Zbl 0723.00029.] The author considers the projection to the configuration space of the invariant tori in a time reversible Hamiltonian system at a point of zero momentum. At such points the projection has rank zero and the resulting caustic has a corner. He uses the caustic equivalence of Lagrangian mappings to find a normal form for such a corner in 3 degrees of freedom.
