Abstract: In our previous work, we have generalized the notion of dually flat or Hessian manifold to quasi-Hessian manifold; it admits the Hessian metric to be degenerate but possesses a particular symmetric cubic tensor (generalized Amari-Centsov tensor). Indeed, it naturally appears as a singular model in information geometry and related fields. A quasi-Hessian manifold is locally accompanied with a possibly multi-valued potential and its dual, whose graphs are called the $e$-wavefront and the $m$-wavefront respectively, together with coherent tangent bundles endowed with flat connections. In the present paper, using those connections and the metric, we give coordinate-free criteria for detecting local diffeomorphic types of $e/m$-wavefronts, and then derive the local normal forms of those (dual) potential functions for the $e/m$-wavefronts in affine flat coordinates by means of Malgrange's division theorem. This is motivated by an early work of Ekeland on non-convex optimization and Saji-Umehara-Yamada's work on Riemannian geometry of wavefronts. Finally, we reveal a relation of our geometric criteria with information geometric quantities of statistical manifolds.
