Mar 23, 2017 at 10:06 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar @R.vanDobbendeBruyn Whoops. You're right, I misread the question.
Mar 22, 2017 at 15:34 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn By the rank theorem (of real manifolds), on the smooth locus the map is locally given by some coordinate projection. Then the question becomes how the $\varepsilon$-balls behave with respect to projection. There are certainly open sets which do not have this property w.r.t. a coordinate projection, but the question is about (small!) metric balls. I think for $x \in U$ it might not be too bad, but when $x \not \in U$ this approach doesn't really help.
Mar 22, 2017 at 15:27 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn @Ariyan: the OP's question is (analytic) local on $X$ (not $Y$!). Without properness of the map, in general the Betti numbers are certainly not constant over $U$.
Mar 22, 2017 at 13:04 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar The Betti numbers are constant over $U$. Doesn't that imply what you want?
