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,…

Simple polyhedra are $2$-dimensional polyhedra and important objects in low-dimensional geometry and in the applications of {\it fold} maps, defined as smooth maps regarded as higher dimensional variants of Morse functions. For example,…

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…

We show that a smooth $d$-manifold $M$ is diffeomorphic to $\mathbb R^d$ if it admits a Lyapunov-Reeb function, i.e., a smooth map $f:M\to\mathbb R$ that is proper, lower-bounded, and has a unique critical point. By constructing such…

A special generic map is a smooth map regarded as a natural generalization of Morse functions with just 2 singular points on homotopy spheres. Canonical projections of unit spheres are simplest examples of such maps and manifolds admitting…

As a higher dimensional version of the theory of Morse functions, there have been various studies of smooth manifolds using generic smooth maps. As fundamental results, in these studies, they have found that inverse images of such maps…

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…

By an influential theorem of Boman, a function $f$ on an open set $U$ in $\mathbb R^d$ is smooth ($\mathcal C^\infty$) if and only if it is arc-smooth, i.e., $f\circ c$ is smooth for every smooth curve $c : \mathbb R \to U$. In this paper…
