The Reeb space of a smooth function is a topological and combinatoric object and fundamental and important in understanding topological and geometric properties of the manifold of the domain. It is the graph and a topological space endowed…

Previously, we have investigated a natural smooth map onto the region surrounded by the graphs of two smooth real-valued functions in the plane converging to a same value or diverges to $+\infty$ or $-\infty$ simultaneously, at each…

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…

For a smooth function on a smooth manifold of a suitable class, the space of all connected components of preimages is the graph and called the {\it Reeb graph}. Reeb graphs are fundamental tools in the algebraic and differential topological…

The Reeb graph of a function on a smooth manifold is the graph obtained as the space of all connected components of level sets such that the set of all vertices coincides with the set of all connected components of level sets including…

The Reeb space of a continuous map is the space of all (elements representing) connected components of preimages endowed with the quotient topology induced from the natural equivalence relation on the domain. These objects are strong tools…

Graph manifolds form important classes of $3$-dimensional closed and orientable manifolds. For example, {\it Seifert} manifolds are graph manifolds where hyperbolic manifolds are not. In applying singularity theory of differentiable maps to…

A theory of graded manifolds can be viewed as a generalization of differential geometry of smooth manifolds. It allows one to work with functions which locally depend not only on ordinary real variables, but also on $\mathbb{Z}$-graded…

Reeb spaces of (continuous) real-valued functions on (nice) topological spaces are the spaces whose underlying sets consist of all connected components (contours) of their level sets and seen naturally as quotient spaces of the spaces. They…

Reeb spaces of real-valued functions on manifolds are the spaces of all connected components (contours) of level sets and endowed with the natural quotient topology. They have been fundamental and strong tools in investigating manifolds via…

Reeb spaces of smooth functions are fundamental and strong tools in understanding manifolds via smooth functions with mild critical points. They are defined as the natural spaces of all connected components of level sets. They are also…

The Reeb space of a generic map is the space of all connected components of preimages of the map. Reeb spaces are fundamental and useful tools in the theory of Morse functions and higher dimensional variants and their applications to…

We define a laminar branched surface to be a branched surface satisfying the following conditions: (1) Its horizontal boundary is incompressible; (2) there is no monogon; (3) there is no Reeb component; (4) there is no sink disk (after…

The Reeb space of a function or a map on a manifold is defined as the space of all connected components of preimages and represents the manifold compactly. In fact, Reeb spaces are fundamental and useful tools in geometric theory of…

We give a new answer to so-called realization problems of graphs as Reeb graphs of smooth functions with prescribed preimages of regular values having nice structures. We present a best possible answer for functions on 3-dimensional closed…

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…

A multibranched surface is a 2-dimensional polyhedron without vertices. We introduce moves for multibranched surfaces embedded in a 3-manifold, which connect any two multibranched surfaces with the same regular neighborhoods in finitely…

The Reeb space of a continuous function is the space of connected components of the level sets. In this paper we characterize those smooth functions on closed manifolds whose Reeb spaces have the structure of a finite graph. We also give…

The present paper mainly presents, for example, explicit classifications of compact smooth manifolds having non-empty boundaries and simple structures where the dimensions are general. Studies of this type is fundamental and important. They…

The theory of Morse functions and their higher dimensional versions or fold maps on manifolds and its application to geometric theory of manifolds is one of important branches of geometry and mathematics. Studies related to this was started…
