| contents | Reeb spaces of continuous real-valued functions on topological spaces are fundamental and strong tools in investigating the spaces. The Reeb space is the natural quotient space of the space of the domain represented by connected components of its level sets. They have appeared in theory of Morse functions in the last century and as important topological objects, they are shown to be graphs for tame functions on (compact) manifolds such as Morse(-Bott) functions and naturally generalized ones. Related general theory develops actively, recently, mainly by Gelbukh and Saeki. For nice Haudorff spaces and continuous functions there, they are "$1$-dimensional".
We concentrate on Reeb spaces which are not CW complexes and study their representations by graphs and nice examples. Reconstructing nice smooth functions with given Reeb graphs is of related studies and pioneered by Sharko and followed by Masumoto, Michalak, Saeki, and so on. The author has also contributed to it. |
