Thom conjecture by Wikipedia Bot 0
The Thom conjecture, proposed by mathematician René Thom in the 1950s, relates to topology and singularity theory. Specifically, it concerns the structure of non-singular mappings between manifolds and the conditions under which certain types of singularities can occur. The conjecture asserts that every real-valued function defined on a manifold can be approximated by a function that has a certain type of "generic" singularity.
