Reeb spaces of smooth functions on manifolds II

The Reeb space of a continuous function on a topological space 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 several explicit examples of smooth fun...

Popis
Shrnutí:The Reeb space of a continuous function on a topological space 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 several explicit examples of smooth functions on closed manifolds such that they themselves or their Reeb spaces have some interesting properties.
