The structure of singularities (caustics), self-intersections of wavefronts (null hypersurfaces) and wavefront families (null coordinates) in arbitrary space-times is discussed in detail and illustrated by explicit examples of stable wavefront singularities in Minkowski space. It is shown how characteristic initial data determine the caustics and the self-intersections of the characteristics of Einstein’s field equations.
