Abstract
AbstractWe consider finitely determined map germs f : (ℝ3, 0) → (ℝ2, 0) with f–1(0) = {0} and we look at the classification of this kind of germ with respect to topological equivalence. By Fukuda's cone structure theorem, the topological type of f can be determined by the topological type of its associated link, which is a stable map from S2 to S1. We define a generalized version of the Reeb graph for stable maps γ : S2→ S1, which turns out to be a complete topological invariant. If f has corank 1, then f can be seen as a stabilization of a function h0: (ℝ2, 0) → (ℝ, 0), and we show that the Reeb graph is the sum of the partial trees of the positive and negative stabilizations of h0. Finally, we apply this to give a complete topological description of all map germs with Boardman symbol Σ2, 1.
