Abstract

For a knotted surface in 4 4 -space, its generic projection into 3 3 -space has branch points as its singularities, and its successive projection into 2 2 -space has fold points and cusps as its singularities. In this paper, we show that for non-orientable knotted surfaces, the numbers of branch points and cusps can be minimized by isotopy.
