In geometry, a pinch point or cuspidal point is a type of singular point on an algebraic surface. The equation for the surface near a pinch point may be put in the form : where () denotes terms of degree 4 or more and is not a square in the ring of functions. For example the surface near the point , meaning in coordinates vanishing at that point, has the form above. In fact, if and then is a system of coordinates vanishing at then is written in the canonical form. The simplest example of a pinch point is the hypersurface defined by the equation called Whitney umbrella. The pinch point (in this case the origin) is a limit of normal crossings singular points (the -axis in this case). These singular points are intimately related in the sense that in order to resolve the pinch point singularity one must blow-up the whole -axis and not only the pinch point. ==See also== *Whitney umbrella *Singular point of an algebraic variety 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pinch point (mathematics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
