On the topology of stable maps (Q2445043)

In this interesting paper the authors investigate the applications of Viro's integral calculus to the study of the topology of stable maps between manifolds. The paper is organized into seven sections dealing with the following aspects: Viro's integral calculus, local triviality at infinity, Euler characteristics of local generic fibers, the study of stable maps \(f:M^m \rightarrow N^n\) with \(m\geq n\), applications to Morin maps, complex maps. Other results by the second author directly connected to this topic are contained in the paper [\textit{T. Fukui} and \textit{J. Weyman}, Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 87, No. 1, 137--163 (2003; Zbl 1077.58025)].
