Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of a certain class of smooth circle-valued functions on a cylinder S1×[0,1]S^1\times [0,1], a torus T2T^2, a disk D2D^2 and a sphere S2S^2 which is a generalization of Morse-Bott functions without saddles. We established a "normal form" for functions from this class, namely, we proved that any such function ff can be presented in the form f=ϰf0h1f = \varkappa\circ f_0\circ h^{-1}, where f0f_0 is the ``simplest'' Morse function on the given surface for some diffeomorphism hh and a smooth function ϰ\varkappa satisfying some natural conditions.
