On the elimination of Morin singularities (Q1067663): Difference between revisions

The author studies the problem of finding a smooth map between smooth manifolds with nice Morin singularities in a given homotopy class. The main results are summarized in two hard theorems [cf. \textit{H. I. Levine}, Topology 3, 263-296 (1965; Zbl 0146.200); \textit{M. L. Gromov}, Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser.
