Topological Classification of the Tangent Developables of Space Curves
The ruled surface formed by the tangent lines of a space curve is called the tangent developable of the curve. Let \(\gamma \colon ({\mathbb R}, 0) \rightarrow {\mathbb R}^3\) be the germ of a \(C^\infty\)-parameterized space curve of finite type. The triple of positive integers \((a_1, a_2, a_3)\) which are orders of the leading monomials in a suitable coordinate parameterization of \(\gamma = \gamma(t)\) is called the type of \(\gamma.\) Set \((a_1, a_2, a_3) = (m, m + s, m + s + r)\) where \(m, s, r\) are positive integers. The author proves that such a type is topologically determinative (that is, the tangent developable of the corresponding curve-germ is unique up to local homeomorphism) if and only if \(s, r\) are not both even, or \(m=1\) and \(s, r\) are both even. Moreover, in this case the homeomorphism class is determined by the parities of \((m, s, r).\) In the case when \(m\) is odd, \(m > 1,\) and \(s, r\) are both even then there are exactly two different homeomorphism classes of tangent developables, while when \(m, s\) and \(r\) are all even then the set of such classes is uncountable, for each type. As a result the author obtains an extension and completes the known classification due to J. Cleave, O. Shcherbak and D. Mond [see \textit{J. P. Cleave}, Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 88, 403-407 (1980; Zbl 0462.53003) and \textit{D. Mond}, Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 91, 351-355 (1982; Zbl 0495.58005)].
