# On the plane into plane mappings of hydrodynamic type. Parabolic case

## TL;DR

This paper investigates singularities in plane-to-plane mappings governed by parabolic hydrodynamic systems, analyzing their hierarchy, types, and regularization methods, with implications for broader parabolic mappings.

## Contribution

It introduces a hierarchy of singularities for parabolic two-component systems and discusses their regularization via surface deformations, extending Whitney's approach.

## Key findings

- Flex is the lowest singularity in the hierarchy.
- Higher singularities are cusp-type curves $(k+1,k+2)$.
- Regularization involves deforming mappings into higher-dimensional surfaces.

## Abstract

Singularities of plane into plane mappings described by parabolic two-component systems of quasi-liner partial differential equations of the first order are studied. Impediments arising in the application of the original Whitney's approach to such case are discussed. Hierarchy of singularities is analysed by double-scaling expansion method for the simplest $2$-component Jordan system. It is shown that flex is the lowest singularity while higher singularities are given by $(k+1,k+2)$ curves which are of cusp type for $k=2n+1$, $n=1,2,3,\dots$. Regularization of these singularities by deformation of plane into plane mappings into surface $S^{2+k} (\subset \mathbb{R}^{2+k} ) $ to plane is discussed. Applicability of the proposed approach to other parabolic type mappings is noted.
