Soc., https://doi.org/10.1090/tran/8325, 376, 3011-3062, 2023.01, The main goal of this article is to connect some recent perspectives in the study of 4–manifolds from the vantage point of singularity theory. We present explicit algorithms for simplifying the topology of various maps on 4–manifolds, which include broken Lefschetz fibrations and indefinite Morse 2–functions. The algorithms consist of sequences of moves, which modify indefinite fibrations in smooth 1–parameter families. These algorithms allow us to give purely topological and constructive proofs of the existence of simplified broken Lefschetz fibrations and Morse 2–functions on general 4–manifolds, and a theorem of Auroux–Donaldson–Katzarkov on the existence of certain broken Lefschetz pencils on near-symplectic 4–manifolds. We moreover establish a correspondence between broken Lefschetz fibrations and Gay–Kirby trisections of 4–manifolds, and show the existence and stable uniqueness of simplified trisections on all 4–manifolds. Building on this correspondence, we also provide several new constructions of trisections, including infinite
families of genus–3 trisections with homotopy inequivalent total spaces, and exotic same genera trisections of 4–manifolds in the homeomorphism classes of complex rational surfaces..

In this paper we first prove that the Reeb space of a smooth function on a closed manifold with finitely many critical values has the structure of a finite graph without loops. We also show that an arbitrary finite graph without loops can be realized as the Reeb space of a certain smooth function on a closed manifold with finitely many critical values, where the corresponding level sets can also be preassigned. Finally, we show that a continuous map of a smooth closed connected manifold to a finite connected graph without loops that induces an epimorphism between the fundamental groups is identified with the natural quotient map to the Reeb space of a certain smooth function with finitely many critical values, up to homotopy..

Souza, New examples of Neuwirth--Stallings pairs and non-trivial real Milnor fibrations, Annales de l'Institut Fourier (Grenoble) , 66, 83-104, 2016.04, We use topology of configuration spaces to give a characterization of Neuwirth--Stallings pairs (S^5, K) with dim K = 2. As a consequence, we construct polynomial map germs (R^6,0) -> (R^3,0) with an isolated singularity at the origin such that their Milnor fibers are not diffeomorphic to a disk, thus putting an end to Milnor's non-triviality question..

We present two essential ingredients. The first one is the mathematical background, especially the singularity theory of differentiable mappings, which enables us to capture topological features of given multivariate data in a mathematically rigorous way. The second one is a new development in computer science, called the joint contour net, which can encode
topological structures of a given set of multivariate data in an efficient and robust way. Some applications to real
data analysis are also presented..

28. Osamu Saeki, Masamichi Takase, Desingularizing special generic maps, Journal of Gökova Geometry Topology, 7, 1-24, 2013.12, Let f : M → R^p be a special genericmap of a closed n-dimensional manifold M with n \geq p \geq 1. We study the condition for f to be factorized as f = \pi \circ \eta for an immersion (or an embedding) \eta : M → R^{n+1} and an orthogonal projection \pi : R^{n+1} → R^p. For various dimension pairs (n,p) we give answers to such a lifting problem. In particular, for the cases where p=1 and 2 we obtain complete results..

In this paper, we study a similar “Fox property” for smooth embeddings of Sp × Sq × Sr in Sp+q+r+1..

For each point x on the curve, we consider the subspace Sk of the Lie algebra of G consisting of the vectors generating a one parameter subgroup whose orbit through x has contact of order k with α. In this paper, we give various important properties of the sequence of subspaces G ⊃ S1 ⊃ S2 ⊃ S3 ⊃ · · ·. In particular, we give a stabilization property for certain well-behaved curves.We also describe its relationship to the isotropy subgroup with respect to the contact element of order k associated with α..
