    An Interview with Naoki Kasuga

    No full text
    Professor Naoki Kasuga is the editor of the Anthropology as critique of reality. He has worked at Hitotsubashi University since 2010, when he moved from a position at Osaka University. In many ways Kasuga is a unique figure in Japanese anthropology. He is the author of a series of experimental and highly divergent works, and he was one of the translators of Writing culture into Japanese. This interview weaves together a discussion of Kasuga's own trajectory with a story of some broader transformations in Japanese anthropology that have lead to current explorations of ontology

    On Reeb graphs induced from smooth functions on 3-dimensional closed manifolds which may not be orientable

    No full text
    The Reeb space of a smooth function is a topological and combinatoric object and fundamental and important in understanding topological and geometric properties of the manifold of the domain. It is the graph and a topological space endowed with a natural topology. This is defined as the quotient space of the manifold of the domain where the equivalence relation is as follows: two points in the manifold are equivalent if and only if they are in a same connected component of a level set or a preimage. In considerable cases they are graphs (Reeb graphs): if the function is a so-called Morse(-Bott) functions for example, then this is the graph such that a point is a vertex if and only if the corresponding connected component of the level set contains some singular points. The author previously constructed explicit smooth functions on suitable 3-dimensional connected, closed and orientable manifolds whose Reeb graphs are isomorphic to prescribed graphs and whose preimages are as prescribed types. This gives a new answer to so-called realization problems of graphs as Reeb graphs of smooth functions of suitable classes. The present paper concerns a variant in the case where the 3-dimensional manifolds may not be non-orientable extending the result before. \end{abstract}15 pages, this extends a main result of the paper (arXiv:1902.08841) of the author, accepted for publication by Topological Methods in Nonlinear Anal. recently, by applying some arguments here and new methods, this version is submitted to a refereed journal, the title has been change

    Notes on Reeb graphs of real algebraic functions which may not be planar

    No full text
    The Reeb graph of a smooth function is a graph being a natural quotient space of the manifold of the domain and the space of all connected components of preimages. Such a combinatorial and topological object roughly and compactly represents the manifold. Since the proposal by Sharko in 2006, reconstructing nice smooth functions and the manifolds from finite graphs in such a way that the Reeb graphs are the graphs has been important. The author has launched new studies on this, discussing construction of real algebraic functions. We concentrate on Reeb graphs we cannot realize as (natural) planar graphs here. Previously the graphs were planar and embedded in the plane naturally.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figures, an error in Main Theorem 1 corrected, Example 2 is also an example for this, some proofs such as the proof of Main Theorem 1 etc. revise

    Explicit real algebraic functions which may have both compact and non-compact preimages

    No full text
    As a pioneering work we construct explicit real algebraic functions which may have both compact and non-compact preimages. The author has obtained explicit real algebraic functions with preimages satisfying some nice conditions. More precisely, we have given answers to a considerably revised version of Sharko's question. Sharko originally asked whether we can have nice smooth functions whose Reeb graphs are as desired. The Reeb graph of a smooth function of a certain nice class is a natural graph whose underlying space is the space of all connected components. Such graphs can have some important topological information of the manifolds. Our answers are new in having real algebraic functions on non-compact manifolds with no boundaries. We also avoid using so-called existence theory and approximation theory whereas we also avoid in our previous studies.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, errors corrected whereas main results do not change, several exposition added, this version is submitted to a refereed journa
