Maps with 0-dimensional critical set

Philip Throop Church and James Timourian

Vol. 57 (1975), No. 1, 59–66
Abstract

Let f : Mn Np be Cn with n p = 0 or 1, let p 2, and let Rp1(f) be the critical set of f. If dim(Rp1(f)) 0, then (1.1) at each x Mn,f is locally topologically equivalent to one of the following maps:

(a) the projection map ρ : Rn Rp,

(b) σ;C C defined by σ(z) = za(d = 2,3,), where C is the complex plane, or

(c) τ : C × C C × R defined by τ(z,w) = (2z w,|w|2 −|z|2), where w is the complex conjugate of w.

Under the additional hypothesis that dim(f(Rp1(f))) p 2 this result was proved in an earlier paper of the authors. They show here that dim(Rp1(f)) 0 implies somethin g like dim(f(Rp1(f))) p 2.
