Real map germs and higher open book structures (Q5961894)

The authors present a general criterion for the existence of open book structures defined by real map germs \((\mathbb R^m, 0) \to (\mathbb R^p, 0)\), where \(m> p \geq 2\), with isolated critical point. They show that this is satisfied by weighted-homogeneous maps. They also derive sufficient conditions in case of map germs with isolated critical value.
