Abstract:
Constraints on the position of singularities on the boundary of a connected component of the complement to a wave front are studied.
The boundary of the component is assumed to be the compact boundary of a manifold, and the front is assumed to have only stable corank 1 singularities at points
of the boundary. Under these assumptions linear relations are found
between the Euler numbers of the manifolds of singularities
on the boundary of a fixed component. In particular, all universal
linear relations between the Euler numbers of
the manifolds of singularities
on the boundaries of elliptic and hyperbolic connected
components of the complement to a front are found.
