“…However, it is a different and difficult study to find explicit cases of such structures. Examples and explicit or general theory of Heegaard splittings such as [16,17] and that of multisections of 3-dimensional manifolds such as [8,14,26,33,34] and 4-dimensional variants such as [26,29] have been presented and related problems are still actively studied. Higher dimensional cases seem to have various new, interesting and related problems.…”

We show that manifolds admitting special generic maps also admit nice generalized multisections.Special generic maps are natural generalized versions of Morse functions with exactly two singular points on closed manifolds, characterizing spheres whose dimensions are not 4 topologically and the 4-dimensional unit sphere, and canonical projections of unit spheres. They are shown to restrict the differentiable structures of spheres etc. and topologies of more general manifolds strongly by Saeki, Sakuma etc., followed by Nishioka, Wrazidlo etc. and followed by the author. Some elementary or important manifolds also admit such maps.(Generalized)multisections of manifolds are nice decompositions of (compact) manifolds, generalizing so-called Heegaard splittings of 3-dimensional manifolds. PL manifolds have been shown to have (generalized) multisections enjoying certain properties by Rubinstein and Tillmann.
