Let M be a smooth connected orientable compact surface and let Fcov(M,S1) be a space of all Morse functions f : M → S₁ without critical points on ∂M such that, for any connected component V of ∂M, the restriction f : V → ...

Let F:M×R→M be a continuous flow on a manifold M, let V ⊂ M be an open subset, and let ξ:V→R be a continuous function. We say that ξ is a period function if F(x, ξ(x)) = x for all x ∈ V. Recently, for any open connected ...
