Singularities of mappings and the vanishing homology of images and discriminants
David Mond · Advanced studies in pure mathematics · 2019
These notes provide an introduction to the theory of singularities of mappings and right-left equivalence. They cover a part of Mather theory, concerned with stability, classification and deformations, and go on to study the vanishing homology of images and discriminants of families of mappings. A number of open questions are discussed in the last three sections.
