7-dimensional closed and simply-connected manifolds have been attractive as central and explicit objects in algebraic topology and differential topology of higher dimensional closed and simply-connected manifolds, which were studied…

We determine those smooth $n$--dimensional closed manifolds with $n \geq 4$ which admit round fold maps into ${\mathbb{R}}^{n-1}$, i.e.\ fold maps whose critical value sets consist of disjoint spheres of dimension $n-2$ isotopic to…

In this paper we study $\mathcal M(X)$, the set of diffeomorphism classes of smooth manifolds with the simple homotopy type of $X$, via a map $\Psi$ from $\mathcal M(X)$ into the quotient of $K(X)=[X,BSO]$ by the action of the group of…

The canonical projections of the unit spheres are generalized to special generic maps and round fold maps, for example. They are generalizations from the viewpoint of singularity theory of differentiable maps and these maps restrict the…

In this paper we prove geometric residue theorems for bundle maps over a compact manifold. The theory developed associates residues to the singularity submanifolds of the map for any invariant polynomial. The theory is then applied to a…

We prove that isomorphism classes of principal bundles over a diffeological space are in bijection to certain maps on its free loop space, both in a setup with and without connections on the bundles. The maps on the loop space are smooth…

As Reeb's theorem shows, Morse functions with exactly two singular points on closed manifolds are very simple and important. They characterize spheres whose dimensions are not $4$ topologically and the $4$-dimensional unit sphere. Special…

We obtain complete geometric invariants of cobordism classes of oriented simple fold maps of (n+1)-dimensional manifolds into an n-dimensional manifold N in terms of immersions with prescribed normal bundles. We compute that this cobordism…

We show examples of pairs of smooth, compact, homeomorphic 4-manifolds, whose diffeomorphism types are distinguished by the topology of the singular sets of smooth stable maps defined on them. In this distinction we rely on results from…

A fold map is a smooth map at each singular point of which it is represented as the product map of a Morse function and the identity map on an open ball. A special generic map is a fold map such that the Morse function can be taken as a…

We give complete geometric invariants of cobordisms of fold maps with oriented singular set and cobordisms of even codimensional fold maps. These invariants are given in terms of cobordisms of stably framed manifolds and cobordisms of…

In this paper, we first classify singular fibers of proper $C^\infty$ stable maps of 3-dimensional manifolds with boundary into surfaces. Then, we compute the cohomology groups of the associated universal complex of singular fibers, and…

This is a survey paper of author's results on cobordism groups and semigroups of fold maps and simple fold maps. The results include: establishing a relation between fold maps and immersions through geometrical invariants of cobordism…

We prove the non-existence of special generic maps on complex projective space as our extended new result. Simplest special generic maps are Morse functions with exactly two singular points on spheres, or Morse functions in Reeb's theorem,…

A so-called special generic map is by definition a map of smooth manifolds all of whose singularities are definite fold points. It is in general an open problem posed by Saeki in 1993 to determine the set of integers $p$ for which a given…

Special-generic-like maps or SGL maps are introduced by the author motivated by observing and investigating algebraic topological or differential topological properties of manifolds via nice smooth maps whose codimensions are negative. The…

We prove the non-existence of special generic maps on $3$-dimensional complex projective space as our new result and a corollary by several methods. Special generic maps are generalizations of Morse functions with exactly two singular…

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed surface, $G$ a compact Lie group, with Lie algebra $g$, $\xi \colon P \to \Sigma$ a principal $G$-bundle, let $N(\xi)$ denote the moduli space of central Yang-Mills connections on $\xi$, for suitably chosen…

Morse functions with exactly two singular points on spheres and canonical projections of spheres belong to the class of a certain good class of smooth maps: special generic maps. We mainly investigate information on cohomology of closed and…

We carry out a detailed quantitative analysis on the geometry of invariant manifolds for smooth dissipative systems in dimension two. We begin by quantifying the regularity of any orbit (finite or infinite) in the phase space with a set of…
