On Umbilic Points on Newly Born Surfaces

open access: yesBulletin of the Brazilian Mathematical Society, New Series, 2017
The authors show that newly born surfaces in 3-space have 4 and only 4 umbilic points. Umbilics are points on a surface where the curvature is the same in any direction. That is, locally, the surface is spherical. Here, a newly born surface is characterized as a surface created from a function with Morse singularity of index either 0 or 3.

Umbilic points on Gaussian random surfaces

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 1977
An umbilic point U on a surface Sigma is a place where the two principal curvatures of Sigma are equal. U is a singularity of Sigma in three different senses: (i) it is the source of elliptic (E) or hyperbolic (H) umbilic catastrophes in the envelope of normals ('focal surface') of Sigma ; (ii) it has index +or-1/2 depending on whether the principal ...

Hyperbolic Conservation Laws with Umbilic Points I

open access: yes, 1992
Abstract : In this paper a compactness framework for approximate solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic systems with umbilic points is established by combining ideas in modern nonlinear analysis with classical methods, and by a detailed analysis of a highly singular Euler-Poisson-Darboux-type equation.

Umbilic point screening in random optical fields

Optics Letters, 2007
Umbilic points--singular points of curvature characterized by a fractional topological charge q=+/-1/2--are the most numerous of all special points in the landscape of random optical fields (speckle patterns), outnumbering maxima, minima, saddle points, and optical vortices.
