Understanding singularities in Cartan's and NSF geometric structures
Abstract
In this work we establish a relationship between Cartan's geometric approach to third order ODEs and the 3-dim Null Surface Formulation (NSF). We then generalize both constructions to allow for caustics and singularities that necessarily arise in these formalisms.
