Abstract

The parabolic subset of a 3-manifold generically immersed in \(\mathbb {R}^4\) is a surface. We analyze in this study the generic geometrical behavior of such surface, considered as a submanifold of \(\mathbb {R}^4\). Typical Singularity Theory techniques based on the analysis of the family of height functions are applied in order to describe the geometrical characterizations of different singularity types.
