Abstract: It is well-known that the unit cotangent bundle of any Riemannian manifold has a canonical contact structure. A surface in a Riemannian 3-manifold is called a (wave) front if it is the projection of a Legendrian immersion into the unit cotangent bundle. We shall give easily-computable criteria for a singular point on a front to be a cuspidal edge or a swallowtail. Using this, we shall prove that generically flat fronts in the hyperbolic 3-space admit only cuspidal edges and swallowtails. Moreover, we will show that every complete flat front (which is not rotationally symmetric) has associated parallel surfaces whose singularities consist of only cuspidal edges and swallowtails.
Let \(M^2\) and \(N^3\) be Riemannian manifolds, \(f:M^2\to N^2\) be a wave front (that is, the projection of a Legendrian immersion into the unit cotangent bundle of \(N^3\)). In this paper the authors derive the conditions for a point \(p\in M^2\) to be singular and for the image of \(f\) around a singular point \(p\) to be locally diffeomorphic to a cuspidal edge or a swallowtail in the case when \(N^3=H^3\) is the hyperbolic 3-space, \(M^2\) is a simply-connected Riemann surface, and \(f\) is flat. These conditions are given in terms of two holomorphic forms on \(M^2\). Using the criteria obtained the authors prove that if \(f:M\to H^3\) is a complete flat front which is not a covering of an hourglass and if \(\{f_t\}\) is the family of parallel fronts of \(f\), then, except for finitely many values of \(f\), all the singular points of \(f_t\) are locally diffeomorphic to cuspidal edges or swallowtails.
