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 introduce a direct generalization of the Weinstein conjecture to closed, Lichnerowicz exact, locally conformally symplectic manifolds, (for short $\lcs$ manifolds). This conjectures existence of certain 2-curves in the manifold, which we…

For each integrability parameter $p \in (0,\infty]$, the critical smoothness of a periodic generalized function $f$, denoted by $s_f(p)$ is the supremum over the smoothness parameters $s$ for which $f$ belongs to the Besov space $B_{p,p}^s$…

The Reeb graph of a smooth function is a graph being a natural quotient space of the manifold of the domain and the space of all connected components of preimages. Such a combinatorial and topological object roughly and compactly represents…

We consider manifolds $M^{2n}$ which admit smooth maps into a connected sum of $S^1\times S^n$ with only finitely many critical points, for $n\in\{2,4,8\}$, and compute the minimal number of critical points.

Let $E$ be an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space. We show that for every $C^1$ function $f:E\to\mathbb{R}^d$, every open set $U$ with $C_f:=\{x\in E:\,Df(x)\; \text{is not surjective}\}\subset U$ and every continuous function…

It is well-known that a function on an open set in $\mathbb R^d$ is smooth if and only if it is arc-smooth, i.e., its composites with all smooth curves are smooth. In recent work, we extended this and related results (for instance, a real…

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…

We show that every strictly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ admits a global defining function, i.e., a smooth plurisubharmonic function $\varphi \colon U \to \mathbb R$ defined on an…

For a closed smooth manifold $M$ admitting a symplectic structure, we define a smooth topological invariant $Z(M)$ using almost-K\"ahler metrics, i.e. Riemannian metrics compatible with symplectic structures. We also introduce $Z(M,…

In this paper which is the first of a series of papers on smooth structures, the concepts of C-structures and smooth structures are introduced and studied. The notion of smooth structure on semi-integral domains is given. It is shown that…

Let g:X -> Y be a smooth (i.e. C^\infty differentiable) map between two smooth manifolds. In analogy with the case of complex polynomial functions, we say that y_0 in Y is a typical value of g if there exists an open neighbourhood U of y_0…

The paper is devoted to "uniform" reduction of smooth functions on 2-manifolds to canonical form near critical points by some coordinate changes in some neighbourhoods of these points. For singularity types $E_6,E_8$ and $A_n$, we…

We discuss reconstructing smooth real algebraic maps onto curves whose Reeb graph is as prescribed. This can be contributed to real algebraic geometry, especially in explicit examples in real algebraic geometry in a new way. The Reeb graph…

Reeb spaces of continuous real-valued functions on topological spaces are fundamental and strong tools in investigating the spaces. The Reeb space is the natural quotient space of the space of the domain represented by connected components…

We study the geometric significance of Leinster's notion of magnitude for a smooth manifold with boundary of arbitrary dimension, motivated by open questions for the unit disk in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For a large class of distance functions,…
