Whitney umbrellas and swallowtails

Takashi Nishimura

Vol. 252 (2011), No. 2, 459–471
Abstract

We introduce map germs of pedal unfolding type and the notion of normalized Legendrian map germs. We show that the fundamental theorem of calculus provides a natural one-to-one correspondence between Whitney umbrellas of pedal unfolding type and normalized swallowtails.
