%0 Journal Article %T Real map germs and higher open books %A Raimundo Ara¨²jo dos Santos %A Mihai Tib£¿r %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %R 10.1007/s10711-009-9449-z %X We present a general criterion for the existence of open book structures defined by real map germs $(\bR^m, 0) \to (\bR^p, 0)$, where $m> p \ge 2$, with isolated critical point. We show that this is satisfied by weighted-homogeneous maps. We also derive sufficient conditions in case of map germs with isolated critical value. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.3328v1
