Topological Classification of Morse Functions and Generalisations of Hilbert’s 16-th Problem

چکیده
The topological structures of the generic smooth functions on a smooth manifold belong to the small quantity of the most fundamental objects of study both in pure and applied mathematics. The problem of their study has been formulated by A. Cayley in 1868, who required the classification of the possible configurations of the horizontal lines on the topographical maps of mountain regions, and created the first elements of what is called today ‘Morse Theory’ and ‘Catastrophes Theory’. In the paper we describe this problem, and in particular describe the classification of Morse functions on the 2 sphere and on the torus.

Perfect discrete Morse functions on 2-complexes
A bst r ac t This paper is focused on the study of perfect discrete Morse functions on a 2-simplicial complex. These are those discrete Morse functions such that the number of critical i-simplices coincides with the i-th Betti number of the complex. In particular, we establish conditions under which a 2-complex admits a perfect discrete Morse function and conversely, we get topological properti...
متن کاملTopological centers of the n-th dual of module actions
We study the topological centers of $nth$ dual of Banach $mathcal{A}$-modules and we extend some propositions from Lau and "{U}lger into $n-th$ dual of Banach $mathcal{A}-modules$ where $ngeq 0$ is even number. Let $mathcal{B}$ be a Banach $mathcal{A}-bimodule$. By using some new conditions, we show that $ Z^ell_{mathcal{A}^{(n)}}(mathcal{B}^{(n)})=mathcal{B}^{(n)}$ and $ Z^ell_{mathcal{B}...

We consider general Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on a closed orientable two-dimentional surface. In this paper it is proved that the complete topological invariant of Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms is finite, the algorithm of the construction of the complete topological invariant in explicit form is given and necessary and sufficient conditions of topological conjugacy of Morse-Smale diffeomorphism...
متن کاملCompact Group Actions That Raise Dimension to Infinity
Interest in group actions with the property that the orbit space has greater dimension than the original space is motivated in part by P. A. Smith’s generalization [S2] of Hilbert’s Fifth Problem [H]. Hilbert asked whether a topological group G the underlying space of which, |G|, is a (finitedimensional) manifold admits the structure of a Lie group, i.e., whether |G| admits the structure of a r...
متن کاملComputation of the q-th roots of circulant matrices
In this paper, we investigate the reduced form of circulant matrices and we show that the problem of computing the q-th roots of a nonsingular circulant matrix A can be reduced to that of computing the q-th roots of two half size matrices B - C and B + C.
