Morse approximation with bounded number of critical points
Let $(M^3,g)$ be a compact Riemannian 3-manifold and let $f\in C^{\infty}(M)$ be a smooth function. Does there exist a constant $k>0$ (possibly depending on $M$ and $g$) such that $f$ can be $C^2$-...

Harmonic functions on $(M,g)$ closed, induce an embedding in Euclidean space
In Hajime Urakawa's monograph The Spectral Geometry of the Laplacian on page 41, we make an assumption that I can't quite justify on my own. The following is our setup:
Let $(M^n,g)$ be a closed ...

Finding a specific Global Smooth Function
Any help with this problem would be appreciated. Thanks
Suppose $(M^3,g)$ is a smooth compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary and $\gamma$ is a simple smooth orientable curve in $M$. Does ...
