On sait que l’ensemble des points singuliers S(f) d’une application différentiable générique f:M→N d’une variété à n dimensions dans une surface est une sous-variété à une dimension de M et que S(f) a une stratification naturelle introduite par l’indice absolu. Dans cet article nous donnons une caractérisation complète des sous-variétés à une dimension (stratifiées) qui se présentent comme un ensemble de points singuliers d’une application générique, en termes de classes d’homologie représentées par les sous-variétés.

It is known that the singular set S(f) of a generic smooth map f:M→N of an n-dimensional manifold into a surface is a closed 1-dimensional submanifold of M and that it has a natural stratification induced by the absolute index. In this paper, we give a complete characterization of those 1-dimensional (stratified) submanifolds which arise as the singular set of a generic map in terms of the homology class they represent.
