    Description: At the core of low-dimensional topology has been the classification of knots and links in the 3-sphere and the classification of 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds (see Wikipedia for the definitions of basic topological terms). Beginning with the introduction of hyperbolic geometry into knots and 3-manifolds by W. Thurston in the late 1970s, geometric tools have become vital to the subject.Next came Freedman's (1) classification of simply connected topological 4-manifolds in 1981 followed by the gauge theory invariants of smooth 4-manifolds introduced by Donaldson (2) in 1982. The gauge theory invariants (2) were based on solutions to the Yang–Mills equations for...

    Description: We discuss generic smooth maps from smooth manifolds to smooth surfaces, which we call “Morse 2-functions,” and homotopies between such maps. The two central issues are to keep the fibers connected, in which case the Morse 2-function is “fiber-connected,” and to avoid local extrema over one-dimensional submanifolds of the range, in which case the Morse 2-function is “indefinite.” This is foundational work for the long-range goal of defining smooth invariants from Morse 2-functions using tools analogous to classical Morse homology and Cerf theory.
