Differentiable mappings with an infinite number of critical points

Abstract

In this paper we shall give some sufficient conditions in order that the so-called <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="phi"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi> φ </mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\varphi</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> -category of a pair <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="left-parenthesis upper M comma upper N right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>M</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">(M,N)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> of differentiable manifolds be infinite.
