Extract

Cusp singularities were introduced and described in detail in Hirzebruch's fundamental paper [3] (se recall some of the basic results in § 1 below). They form a natural and well-behaved class, included in Laufer's ‘minimally elliptic’ singularities [5]. Those which occur on hypersurfaces appear also as hyperbolic singularities in Arnold's [1] classification of 1-modal singularities.
