Abstract

We study the topology of the boundaries of the Milnor fibers of real analytics map-germs f:(RM,0)(RK,0)f: (\mathbb{R}^M,0) \to (\mathbb{R}^K,0) and fI:=ΠIf:(RM,0)(RI,0)f_{I}:=\Pi_{I}\circ f : (\mathbb{R}^M,0) \to (\mathbb{R}^I,0) that admit Milnor's tube fibrations, where ΠI:(RK,0)(RI,0)\Pi_{I}:(\mathbb{R}^K,0)\to (\mathbb{R}^{I},0) is the canonical projection for 1I<K.1\leq I<K. For each II we prove that the Milnor boundary FI\partial F_{I} is given by the double of the Milnor tube fiber FI+1.F_{I+1}. We prove that if KI2K-I\geq 2, then the pair (FI,Ff)(\partial F_{I},\partial F_{f}) is a generalized (KI1)(K-I-1)-open-book decomposition with binding Ff\partial F_{f} and page FfFfF_{f} \setminus \partial F_{f} - the interior of the Milnor fibre FfF_{f} (see the definition below). This allows us to prove several new Euler characteristic formulae connecting the Milnor boundaries Ff,\partial F_{f}, FI,\partial F_{I}, with the respectives links Lf,LI,\mathcal{L}_{f}, \mathcal{L}_{I}, for each 1I<K,1\leq I<K, and a L\^e-Greuel type formula for the Milnor boundary.
