Homotopic types of right stabilizers and orbits of smooth functions on surfaces

  • S. I. Maksimenko

Abstract

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a smooth connected compact surface, $P$ be either the real line $\mathbb{R}$ or a circle $S^1$. For a subset $X ⊂ M$, let $\mathcal{D}(M, X)$ denote the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$ fixed on $X$. In this note, we consider a special class F of smooth maps $f : M → P$ with isolated singularities that contains all Morse maps. For each map $f ∈ \mathcal{F}$, we consider certain submanifolds $X ⊂ M$ that are “adopted” with $f$ in a natural sense, and study the right action of the group $\mathcal{D}(M, X)$ on $C^{∞}(M, P)$. The main result describes the homotopy types of the connected components of the stabilizers $S(f)$ and orbits $\mathcal{O}(f)$ for all maps $f ∈ \mathcal{F}$. It extends previous results of the author on this topic.
