Singularities of differentiable mappings in differential topology (57R45)

Abstract: {it Fold maps} are fundamental tools in generalizing the theory of Morse functions and its application to studies of geometric properties of manifolds. One of the fundamental and important problems in the theory of fold maps is to construct explicit fold maps, which are often difficult. In this paper, we construct new examples of {it round fold maps}, which are defined as {it stable fold maps} with singular value sets of concentric spheres introduced by the author on manifolds having the structures of circle bundles. The class of round fold maps includes some {it special generic} maps on homotopy spheres and such maps have been constructed on manifolds having the structures of smooth bundles over standard spheres and manifolds represented as connected sums of manifolds admitting bundle structures over a standard sphere with fibers diffeomorphic to a standard sphere, for example, in previous studies by the author in the 2010s. Furthermore, such maps on manifolds admitting the structures of smooth bundles over spheres or more general manifolds including families of circle bundles over given manifolds were constructed by applying operations derived from the theory of bundles ({it P-operations}), and in this paper, we use the operations to obtain new round fold maps.

Review text

Fold maps generalize Morse functions and are smooth maps from an \(m\)-dimensional smooth manifold to an \(n\)-dimensional smooth manifold without boundary whose only singularities are of folding type, that is \[ (x_1,\ldots,x_m)\mapsto (x_1,\ldots,x_{n-1},\sum_{j=n}^{m-i}x_j-\sum_{j=m-i+1}^mx_j) \] with \(0\leq i\leq m-n+1\), \((m\geq n\geq 1)\). In a previous paper [Hokkaido Math. J. 43, No. 3, 327--359 (2014; Zbl 1307.57018)] the author introduced round fold maps as fold maps where the singular set is a disjoint union of spheres and the restriction of the map to the singular set is an embedding whose image is a disjoint union of concentric spheres, and studied the homology and homotopy groups of manifolds admitting round fold maps. In this paper the author is concerned with the homeomorphism and diffeomorphism types of the source manifold. New round fold maps are constructed on closed manifolds having the structures of smooth bundles over (exotic) spheres. Then, \(P\)-operations are defined in order to construct round fold maps on smooth \(S^1\)-bundles on manifolds.
