Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places.

Topology, Geometry and Data Seminar - Saugata Basu

Cockins Hall 240

Title: On the Reeb spaces of definable maps.

Speaker: Saugata Basu (Purdue University)

Title: We prove that the Reeb space of a proper definable map in an arbitrary o-minimal expansion of the reals is realizable as a proper definable quotient. We also show that the Betti numbers of the Reeb space of a map $f$ can be arbitrarily large compared to those of $X$, unlike in the special case of Reeb graphs of manifolds. Nevertheless, in the special case when $f:X \rightarrow Y$ is a semi-algebraic map and $X$ is closed and bounded, we prove a singly exponential upper bound on the Betti numbers of the Reeb space of $f$ in terms of the number and degrees of the polynomials defining $X,Y$ and $f$.
