Cross-caps, triple points and a linking invariant for finitely determined germs

It was recently proved that for finitely determined germs Φ : ( C 2 , 0 ) → ( C 3 , 0 ) the number C ( Φ ) of Whitney umbrella points and the number T ( Φ ) of triple values of a stable deformation are topological invariants. The proof uses the fact that the combination C ( Φ ) - 3 T ( Φ ) is topolo...

Zusammenfassung:It was recently proved that for finitely determined germs Φ : ( C 2 , 0 ) → ( C 3 , 0 ) the number C ( Φ ) of Whitney umbrella points and the number T ( Φ ) of triple values of a stable deformation are topological invariants. The proof uses the fact that the combination C ( Φ ) - 3 T ( Φ ) is topological since it equals the linking invariant of the associated immersion S 3 ↬ S 5 introduced by Ekholm and Szűcs. We provide a new, direct proof for this equality. We also clarify the relation between various definitions of the linking invariant.
