ABSTRACT

A front is the projection on the plane of a Legendrian immersion of a circle in the space of the contact elements of that plane. I analyze the symmetries of a generic front with respect to the group generated by the involutions reversing the orientation of the plane, the orientation of the preimage circle and the coorientation of the contact plane.
