Line Congruences on singular surfaces
This paper is a first step in order to extend Kummer's theory for line congruences to the case $\lbrace x, ξ\rbrace $, where $x: U \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ is a smooth map and $ξ: U \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ is a proper frontal. We show that if $\lbrace x, ξ\rbrace$ is a normal congruence, the equation of the principal surfaces is a multiple of the equation of the developable surfaces, furthermore, the multiplicative factor is associated to the singular set of $ξ$.
