We give the definition of the Thom condition and we show that given any germ of complex analytic function $f:(X,x)\to(\mathbb{C},0)$ on a complex analytic space $X$, there exists a geometric local monodromy without fixed points, provided…

Using the work of Dwyer, Weiss, and Williams we associate an invariant to any topologically trivial family of smooth h-cobordisms. This invariant is called the smooth structure class, and is closely related to the higher Franz--Reidemeister…

For all $p>1$ and all centrally symmetric convex bodies $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ define $Mf$ as the centered maximal function associated to $K$. We show that when $d=1$ or $d=2$, we have $||Mf||_p\ge (1+\epsilon(p,K))||f||_p$. For $d\ge 3$,…

Suppose that $M$ is a connected orientable $n$-dimensional manifold and $m>2n$. If $H^i(M,\R)=0$ for $i>0$, it is proved that for each $m$ there is a monomorphism $H^m(W_n,\on{O}(n))\to H^m_{\on{cont}}(\on{Diff}M,\R)$. If $M$ is closed and…

We prove that for any open Riemann surface $M$ and any non constant harmonic function $h:M \to \mathbb{R},$ there exists a complete conformal minimal immersion $X:M \to \mathbb{R}^3$ whose third coordinate function coincides with $h.$ As a…

Let $M$ and $N$ be smooth closed connected aspherical manifolds with good (in the sense of Serre) fundamental groups $G$ and $H$. We show that if $\widehat G\cong \widehat H$, then $M$ and $N$ are cobordant and the signatures of $M$ and $N$…

Consider a smooth action $\mathbf G\times M \rightarrow M$ of a compact connected Lie group $\mathbf G$ on a connected manifold $M$. Assume the existence of a point of $M$ whose isotropy group has a single element (free point). Then we…

The main goal of this paper is to give a unified treatment to many known cuplength estimates. As the base case, we prove that for $C^0$-perturbations of a function which is Morse-Bott along a closed submanifold, the number of critical…

Let $\ID$ denote the open unit disk and $f:\,\ID\TO\BAR\IC$ be meromorphic and univalent in $\ID$ with the simple pole at $p\in (0,1)$ and satisfying the standard normalization $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$. Also, let $f$ have the expansion…

A smooth diffeomorphism f of a smooth closed orientable manifold M is cohomology-free diffeomorphism (c.f) if for each smooth function g on M there exists a smooth function h on M and a constant c such that h-h o f = g. In this article we…

In this paper and in the forthcoming Part II we introduce a Morse complex for a class of functions f defined on an infinite dimensional Hilbert manifold M, possibly having critical points of infinite Morse index and coindex. The idea is to…

Assume that there exists a smooth map between two closed manifolds $M^m\to N^k$ with only finitely many cone-like singular points, where $2\leq k\leq m\leq 2k-1$. If $(m,k)\not\in\{(2,2), (4,3), (5,3), (8,5), (16,9)\}$, then $M^m$ admits a…

Let $\mathcal{A}_n^k$ denote all nonbounding effective smooth $({\Bbb Z}_2)^k$-actions on $n$-dimensional smooth closed connected manifolds, each of which is cobordant to one with finite fixed set. Motivated by GKM theory, one can associate…

Let $\phi$ be a real-valued smooth function on $\mathbf{C}$ satisfying $0 \le \Delta \phi \le M$ for some $M \ge 0$. We consider the space of all holomorphic functions which are square-integrable with respect to the measure $e^{-\phi(z)}…

Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…

For pairs of knots K and J in the three-sphere, we consider the set of four-tuples of integers (g,x,y,z) for which there is a cobordism from K to J of genus g having x, y, and z, critical points of index 0, 1, and 2, respectively. We…

A natural measure of smoothness of a Boolean function is its sensitivity (the largest number of Hamming neighbors of a point which differ from it in function value). The structure of smooth or equivalently low-sensitivity functions is still…

We prove that zeros and critical points of a random polynomial $p_N$ of degree $N$ in one complex variable appear in pairs. More precisely, if $p_N$ is conditioned to have $p_N(\xi)=0$ for a fixed $\xi \in \C\backslash\set{0},$ we prove…

Every nonconstant meromorphic function in the plane univalently covers spherical discs of radii arbitrarily close to arctan(sqrt 8) ~ 70^\circ 32'. If in addition all critical points of the function are multiple, then a similar statement…

In this paper, we establish an improved version of a saddle point theorem ([4]) removing a weak lower semicontinuity assumption at all. We then revisit some of the applications of that theorem in the light of such an improvement. For…
