On holomorphic maps with only fold singularities

From MaRDI portal





Let \(N\) and \(P\) be \(n\)-dimensional complex manifolds. The author deals with holomorphic maps \(f: N \rightarrow P\) which have at most fold singularities, i.e. such that in suitable local coordinate systems \((z_1, \dots ,z_{n-1}, z_n) \mapsto (z_1, \dots , z_{n-1}, z_n^k)\), \(k=1,2.\) There are two main results in this paper. The first one is local. The author proves that the space \(\Omega^{10}\) consisting of 2-jets of regular map germs and fold map germs is homotopy equivalent to \(SU(n+1)\). The second one is global. It concerns only the manifolds \(N\) and \(P\) such that their first Chern classes vanish or equivalently the tangent bundles \(TN\) and \(TP\) are equipped with \(SU(n)\)-structure. In such case \(j^2f\) determines the homotopy class of \(SU(n+1)\) bundle maps of \(TN \oplus \theta_N\) to \(TP \oplus \theta_P\), where \(\theta_\ast\) denotes a trivial line bundle.
