Thom–Boardman strata σ I are fundamental tools in studying singularities of maps. The Zariski closures of the strata σ I are components of the set of zeros of the ideals Δ I defined by B. Morin using iterated jacobian extensions in his paper ‘Calcul jacobien’ ( Ann. Sci. École Norm. Sup. } 8 (1975) 1–98). In this paper, we consider the question of when the Morin ideals Δ I define Cohen–Macaulay spaces. We determine all I =( i 1 ,…, i k ) such that Δ I defines a Cohen–Macaulay space alongthe Σ i 1stratum. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification : 13D25, 14B05, 14M12, 58C25.
