A classical approach for surface classification is to find a compact algebraic representation for each surface that would be similar for objects within the same class and preserve dissimilarities between classes. We introduce Self…

Let $F$ be a smooth foliation on a closed Riemannian manifold $M$, and let $\Lambda$ be a transverse invariant measure of $F$. Suppose that $\Lambda$ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on smooth transversals. Then…

Round fold maps are smooth maps on closed manifolds which are locally represented as the product maps of Morse functions and identity maps on open disks and whose singularity is realized as concentrically embedded spheres. The author…

We study the structure of the smooth manifold which is defined as the intersection of a stable manifold and an unstable manifold for an invariant Morse-Smale function.

We define a 2-normal surface to be one which intersects every 3-simplex of a triangulated 3-manifold in normal triangles and quadrilaterals, with one or two exceptions. The possible exceptions are a pair of octagons, a pair of unknotted…

Let $f:T^2\to\mathbb{R}$ be a Morse function on $2$-torus $T^2$ such that its Kronrod-Reeb graph $\Gamma(f)$ has exactly one cycle, i.e. it is homotopy equivalent to $S^1$. Under some additional conditions we describe a homotopy type of the…

For a smooth function on a smooth manifold of a suitable class, the space of all connected components of preimages is the graph and called the {\it Reeb graph}. Reeb graphs are fundamental tools in the algebraic and differential topological…

We introduce two different notions of infinitesimal bi-Lipschitz equivalence for functions, one related to bi-Lipschitz triviality of families of functions, one related to homeomorphisms which are bi-Lipschitz on the fibers of the functions…

A Reeb space is defined as the space of all the connected components of inverse images of a smooth map, which is a fundamental tool in studying smooth manifolds using generic smooth maps whose codimensions are not positive such as Morse…

Starting from the axiomatic description of meromorphic functions with prescribed analytic properties, we introduce the cosimplicial cohomology of restricted meromorphic functions defined on foliations of smooth complex manifolds. Spaces for…

We study curvature functionals for immersed 2-spheres in a compact, three-dimensional Riemannian manifold M. Under the assumption that the sectional curvature of M is strictly positive, we prove the existence of a smoothly immersed sphere…

The two-fold singularity has played a significant role in our understanding of uniqueness and stability in piecewise smooth dynamical systems. When a vector field is discontinuous at some hypersurface, it can become tangent to that surface…

The shape of homogeneous, generic, smooth convex bodies as described by the Euclidean distance with nondegenerate critical points, measured from the center of mass represents a rather restricted class M_C of Morse-Smale functions on S^2.…

We consider the extrinsic geometry of surfaces in simply isotropic space, a three-dimensional space equipped with a rank 2 metric of index zero. Since the metric is degenerate, a surface normal cannot be unequivocally defined based on…

The paper is devoted to the study of homotopy properties of stabilizers of smooth functions on oriented surfaces, i.e., groups of diffeomorphisms of surfaces preserving a given function. For some class of smooth functions which is a…

We describe a procedure to construct infinite sets of pairwise smoothly inequivalent 2-spheres in simply connected 4-manifolds, which are topologically isotopic and whose complement has a prescribed fundamental group that satisfies some…

A result is given to find points where a real valued function on the plane is not smooth. Provided this function is induced by a smooth mapping from three dimensions to the plane, from a function on surfaces in three dimensions. This has…

We prove that a transversely holomorphic foliation which is transverse to the fibers of a fibration, is a Seifert fibration if the set of compact leaves is not of zero measure. Similarly, we prove that a finitely generated subgroup of…

We prove two general factorization theorems for fixed-point invariants of fibrations: one for the Lefschetz number and one for the Reidemeister trace. These theorems imply the familiar multiplicativity results for the Lefschetz and Nielsen…

Morphisms, structure preserving maps, are everywhere in Mathematics as useful tools for thinking and problem solving, or as objects to study. Here, we argue that the idea of operations being compatible across two domains goes beyond its…
