Maps on 3-manifolds given by surgery

Boldizsár Kalmár and András I. Stipsicz

Vol. 257 (2012), No. 1, 9–35
Abstract

Suppose that the 3-manifold M is given by integral surgery along a link L S3. In the following we construct a stable map from M to the plane, whose singular set is canonically oriented. We obtain upper bounds for the minimal numbers of crossing singularities, nonsimple singularities, and connected components of fibers of stable maps from M to the plane in terms of properties of L.
