| contents | We prove the Mond conjecture for wave fronts which states that the number of parameters of a frontal versal unfolding is less than or equal to the number of spheres in the image of a stable frontal deformation with equality if the wave front is weighted homogeneous. We give two different proofs. The first one depends on the fact that wave fronts are related to discriminants of map germs and we then use the analogous result proved by Damon and Mond in this context. The second one is based on ideas by Fernández de Bobadilla, Nuño-Ballesteros and Peñafort Sanchis and by Nuño-Ballesteros and Fernández-Hernández. The advantage of the second approach is that most results are valid for any frontal, not only wave fronts, and thus give important tools which may be useful to prove the conjecture for frontals in general. |
