Abstract

Given a C2C^2 semi-algebraic mapping F:RNRp,F: \mathbb{R}^N \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^p, we consider its restriction to WRNW\hookrightarrow \mathbb{R^{N}} an embedded closed semi-algebraic manifold of dimension n1p2n-1\geq p\geq 2 and introduce sufficient conditions for the existence of a fibration structure (generalized open book structure) induced by the projection FF:WF1(0)Sp1\frac{F}{\Vert F \Vert}:W\setminus F^{-1}(0)\to S^{p-1}. Moreover, we show that the well known local and global Milnor fibrations, in the real and complex settings, follow as a byproduct by considering WW as spheres of small and big radii, respectively. Furthermore, we consider the composition mapping of FF with the canonical projection π:RpRp1\pi: \mathbb{R}^{p} \to \mathbb{R}^{p-1} and prove that the fibers of FF\frac{F}{\Vert F \Vert} and πFπF\frac{\pi\circ F}{\Vert \pi\circ F \Vert} are homotopy equivalent. We also show several formulae relating the Euler characteristics of the fiber of the projection FF\frac{F}{\Vert F \Vert} and WF1(0).W\cap F^{-1}(0). Similar formulae are proved for mappings obtained after composition of FF with canonical projections.
