Abstract: We analyse the singularity formation of congruences of solutions of systems of second order PDEs via the construction of emph{shape maps}. The trace of such maps represents a congruence volume whose collapse we study through an appropriate evolution equation, akin to Raychaudhuri's equation. We develop the necessary geometric framework on a suitable jet space in which the shape maps appear naturally associated with certain linear connections. Explicit computations are given, along with a nontrivial example.

Review text

The paper deals with the singularity formation of congruences of solutions of systems of second order PDEs via the construction of shape maps. The trace of such maps represents a congruence volume whose collapse we study through an appropriate evolution equation, akin to Raychaudhuri's equation. The authors develop the necessary geometric framework on a suitable jet space in which the shape maps appear naturally associated with certain linear connections. The paper contains explicit computations, a nontrivial example is given.
