We prove that given any closed $n$-manifold $M^n$, $n\geq 4$, there is an A-flow $f^t$ on $M^n$ such that the non-wandering set $NW(f^t)$ consists of 2-dimensional expanding attractor (the both, orientable and non-orientable) and trivial…

Extension problems for polynomial valuations on different cones of convex functions are investigated. It is shown that for the classes of functions under consideration, the extension problem reduces to a simple geometric obstruction on the…

We build the first example of a hyperbolic 6-manifold that admits a perfect circle-valued Morse function, which can be considered as the analogue of a fibration over the circle for manifolds with non-vanishing Euler characteristic. As a…

Let $n \geq 4$ and let $\Omega$ be a bounded hyperconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. Let $\varphi$ be a negative exhaustive smooth plurisubharmonic function on $\Omega$. We show that any holomorphic function defined on a connected open…

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…

In this paper, we study Vanishing Mean Oscillation vector fields on a compact manifold with boundary. Inspired by the work of Brezis and Niremberg, we construct a topological invariant - the index - for such fields, and establish the…

Let M be a smooth connected compact surface, P be either the real line R^1 or the circle S^1, and f:M-->P be a smooth mapping. In a previous series of papers for the case when f is a Morse map the author calculated the homotopy types of…

Special generic maps are higher dimensional versions of Morse functions with exactly two singular points, characterizing spheres topologically except $4$-dimensional cases: in these cases standard spheres are characterized. Canonical…

We consider a compact $n$-dimensional complex manifold endowed with a holomorphic line bundle that is semi-positive everywhere and positive at least at one point. Additionally, we have a smooth domain of this manifold whose Levi form has at…

We construct Morse homology groups associated with any regular function on a smooth complex algebraic variety, allowing singular and non-compact critical loci. These groups are generated by critical points of a certain large pertubation of…

We prove an analogue of E. Levi's Continuity Principle for meromorphic mappings with values in arbitrary compact complex manifolds in place of the Riemann sphere $\cc\pp^1$. The result is achieved by introducing a new extension method for…

Let D be a bounded domain in the complex plane whose boundary consists of m pairwise disjoint simple closed curves where m is greater than one. Let A(bD) be the algebra of all continuous functions on bD which extend holomorphically through…

A general class of singular real hypersurfaces, called subanalytic, is defined. For a subanalytic hypersurface M in C^n, Cauchy-Riemann (or simply CR) functions on M are defined, and certain properties of CR functions discussed. In…

We describe a generalization of Milnor's formula for the Milnor number of an isolated hypersurface singularity to the case of a function $f$ whose restriction $f|(X,0)$ to an arbitrarily singular reduced complex analytic space $(X,0)…

It is known that the systole function is topologically Morse on the moduli space $\mathcal M_{g,n}$ and the $\text{sys}_T$ functions are $C^2$-Morse on the Deligne-Mumford compactification $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$. In this paper, We…

A smooth function f in a neighbourhood of the unit sphere $S^{n - 1}$ is said to admit index $\lambda$ if it can be extended to a function F in the unit ball $B^n$ such that F has a unique critical point p and the Morse index of p is equal…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and let $\F$ be a codimension one, $C^\infty$ foliation on $M$, with isolated singularities of Morse type. The study and classification of pairs $(M,\F)$ is a challenging (and difficult) problem. In this…

We introduce a version of discrete Morse theory specific for manifolds with boundary. The idea is to consider Morse functions for which all boundary cells are critical. We obtain "Relative Morse Inequalities" relating the homology of the…

The concept of rotation symmetric functions from the Boolean domain is extended to the multiple-valued (MV) domain. It is shown that symmetric functions are a subset of the rotation symmetric functions. Functions exhibiting these kinds of…

Given a Morse-Smale vector field on a smooth manifold, Franks described how one can replace a closed orbit of index $k$ by two rest points of index $k+1$ and $k$, using a local perturbation. Combined with classical results about…
