Abstract: We extend the notion of reticular Legendrian unfoldings in order to investigate multi-time bifurcations of wavefronts generated by an r-corner. We give a classification list of generic and stable bifurcations with two time parameter and give all generic figures in the plane and the space.

Review text

The author investigates notions of stability and genericity of bifurcations of wavefronts generated by \(m\) points of a hypersurface with boundary, a corner, or an \(r\)-corner, in a smooth \(n\)-dimensional manifold. Several notions of stability of so-called \textit{multi-reticular Legendrian unfoldings} are defined and proven to be equivalent to the stabilities of corresponding generating families. The classification of all generic bifurcations of wavefronts is given in the cases \(r=0\), \(n\leq 5\) and \(r=1\), \(n\leq 3\) respectively.
