Bialynicki-Birula decomposition for real analytic varieties
Let $X$ be a smooth complex algebraic variety endowed with a $\mathbb{C}^*$ action. We assume also to have an antiholomorphic involution $\sigma$ over $X$ such that it anticommutes with the action ...

Variation of Morse Functions: a reference request
Suppose I have a manifold $X$ and a family of Morse functions $F_t:X \times \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ on it where $t$ is the second parameter. So, if we fix $t$, we get a regular Morse function for ...

First order decidability of limit of gradient flow?
Let $f: \mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ be a polynomial function, and let $p$ be a critical point. Consider the ascending manifold $A_p$ consisting of all points whose limit under the gradient flow of $f$ ...

Cylindrical Decomposition vs Morse decomposition
Suppose I have a polynomial Morse function $f: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$. Consider the ideal $I(\nabla f)$ generated by the partial derivatives $\partial_i f$, and assume that the real zero-set of ...

cell decomposition of real homogeneous hypersurfaces
Let $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in\mathbf{R}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a homogeneous polynomial
and consider the real hypersurface $H=\{(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in\mathbf{R}^n:f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=1\}$. Assume to simplify ...
