This paper is the second part of our work on 4-dimensional 2-handlebodies. In the first part (arXiv:math.GT/0407032) it is shown that up to certain set of local moves, connected simple coverings of B^4 branched over ribbon surfaces,…
We are concerned with two interrelated problems: smoothability of connection 1-forms with low regularity on bundles with prescribed smooth curvature 2-forms, and existence of isometric immersions with low regularity. We first show that if…
The main purpose is to characterise continuous maps that are $n$-branched coverings in terms of induced maps on the rings of functions. The special properties of Frobenius $n$-homomorphisms between two function spaces that correspond to…
We characterize the Hurewicz cofibrations between finite topological spaces, that is, the continuous functions between finite topological spaces that have the homotopy extension property with respect to all topological spaces. In…
We study conformal bi-slant submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds as a generalized of conformal anti-invariant, conformal semi-invariant, conformal semi-slant, conformal slant and conformal hemi-slant…
We give rigorous foundations for parametrized homotopy theory in this monograph. After preliminaries on point-set topology, base change functors, and proper actions of non-compact Lie groups, we develop the homotopy theory of equivariant…
This article arose from a series of three lectures given at the Banach Center, Warsaw, during period of 24 March to 13 April, 2003. Morse functions are useful tool in revealing the geometric formation of its domain manifolds $M$. They…
In this paper we define a new cohomology of a smooth manifold called Lichnerowicz type cohomology attached to a function. Firstly, we study some basic properties of this cohomology as: a de Rham type isomorphism, dependence on the function,…
This article examines a family of smooth mappings between Banach spaces and establishes conditions for the existence of their zeros. Applications to fixed-point problems and the Implicit Function Theorem are also discussed.
This paper begins the study of Morse theory for orbifolds, or more precisely for differentiable Deligne-Mumford stacks. The main result is an analogue of the Morse inequalities that relates the orbifold Betti numbers of an almost-complex…
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…
We study bundle gerbes on manifolds $M$ that carry an action of a connected Lie group $G$. We show that these data give rise to a smooth 2-group extension of $G$ by the smooth 2-group of hermitean line bundles on $M$. This 2-group extension…
We can run the MMP for any divisor on any $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial projective toric variety. We show that two Mori fiber spaces, which are outputs of the above MMP, are connected by finitely many elementary transforms.
The problem of finding graph structure of functions commuting with a given function in terms of their functional graphs is considered. Structure of functional graphs of commuting functions is described. The problem is reduced to describing…
Suppose that $F$ is a smooth and connected complex surface (not necessarily compact) containing a smooth rational curve with positive self-intersection. We prove that if there exists a non-constant meromorphic function on $F$, then the…
We review properties of closed meromorphic $1$-forms and of the foliations defined by them. We present and explain classical results from foliation theory, like index theorems, the existence of separatrices, and resolution of singularities…
This note contributes to the point calculus of persistent homology by extending Alexander duality to real-valued functions. Given a perfect Morse function $f: S^{n+1} \to [0,1]$ and a decomposition $S^{n+1} = U \cup V$ such that $M = \U…
Motivated by the rich theory of harmonic maps from a 2-sphere, we study biharmonic maps from a 2-sphere in this paper. We first derive biharmonic equation for rotationally symmetric maps between rotationally symmetric 2-manifolds. We then…
It is a well-known and elementary fact that a holomorphic function on a compact complex manifold without boundary is necessarily constant. The purpose of the present article is to investigate whether, or to what extent, a similar property…
We study Morse theory on noncompact manifolds equipped with exhaustions by compact pieces, defining the Morse homology of a pair which consists of the manifold and related geometric/homotopy data. We construct a collection of Morse data…
