Abstract

Let f[ratio ][Copf ]n, 0→[Copf ]p, 0 be a [Kscr ]-finite map germ, and let i=(i1, …, ik) be a Boardman symbol such that [sum ]i has codimension n in the corresponding jet space Jk(n, p). When its iterated successors have codimension larger than n, the paper gives a list of situations in which the number of [sum ]i points that appear in a generic deformation of f can be computed algebraically by means of Jacobian ideals of f. This list can be summarised in the following way: f must have rank ni1 and, in addition, in the case p=6, f must be a singularity of type [sum ]i1,i2.
