Abstract

We will show that for each k1, there exists an isolated singularity of a real analytic map from R4 to R2 which admits a real analytic deformation such that the set of singular values of the deformed map has a simple, innermost component with k outward cusps and no inward cusps. Conversely, such a singularity does not exist if k=1.
