On the multiplicity of umbilic points

Marco Antônio do Couto Fernandes and Farid Tari

Vol. 319 (2022), No. 1, 99–127
Abstract

We introduce an invariant of umbilic points on surfaces in Euclidean or Minkowski 3-space that counts the maximum number of stable umbilic points they can split up under local deformations of the surfaces. We call that number the multiplicity of the umbilic point and establish its properties.
