Singular levels and topological invariants of Morse–Bott foliations on non-orientable surfaces

We investigate the classification of closed curves and eight curves of saddle points defined on non-orientable closed surfaces, up to an ambient homeomorphism. The classification obtained here is applied to Morse–Bott foliations on non-orientable closed surfaces in order to define a complete topolog...

Description
Summary:We investigate the classification of closed curves and eight curves of saddle points defined on non-orientable closed surfaces, up to an ambient homeomorphism. The classification obtained here is applied to Morse–Bott foliations on non-orientable closed surfaces in order to define a complete topological invariant.
