| Aug 12, 2015 at 1:13 | comment | added | Amitesh Datta | A Morse function on a smooth manifold $M$ gives rise to a handlebody decomposition of $M$, with an $i$-handle for each index $i$ critical point. In the case of Reeb's theorem, there is one index $0$ critical point (minimum) and one index $n$ critical point (maximum), and so $M$ is obtained by attaching an $n$-handle to a $0$-handle, i.e., gluing two $n$-balls by identifying their boundary $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$'s. However, this is simply $\mathbb{S}^n$ (Alexander's trick). | |
