TOTALLY REDUCIBLE FOCAL SET WITH STEREOGRAPHIC PROJECTION
Abstract
In [1], Carter and the author introduced the idea of an immersion f :M→Rn with
totally reducible focal set (TRFS). Such an immersion has the property that, for
all p∈M , the focal set with base p is a union of hyperplanes in the normal plane to
f (M) at f (p) . In this study, we show that the property of an immersion having
TRFS is preserved under inverse image of stereographic projection.
