Links and singularities of stable maps from $3$-manifolds to surfaces
Abstract
For any two links in the $3$-sphere, we provide a visual construction of a stable map f from the $3$-sphere to the Euclidean plane such that f has no cusp points, the set of definite (resp. indefinite) fold points of f is isotopic to the first (resp. second) given link, and f does not have a certain type of singular fibers. Moreover, we obtain a similar result for any $3$-manifold by setting the target space to the $2$-sphere.
