Download or read book Topology of Singular Fibers of Differentiable Maps written by Osamu Saeki and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-08-30 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume develops a thorough theory of singular fibers of generic differentiable maps. This is the first work that establishes the foundational framework of the global study of singular differentiable maps of negative codimension from the viewpoint of differential topology. The book contains not only a general theory, but also some explicit examples together with a number of very concrete applications. This is a very interesting subject in differential topology, since it shows a beautiful interplay between the usual theory of singularities of differentiable maps and the geometric topology of manifolds.
