SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the Regular Value Theorem as it applies to manifolds with boundaries, contrasting it with the established theorem for manifolds without boundaries. Participants highlight that the preimage of a regular value in manifolds without boundaries results in an imbedding submanifold, while the extension to manifolds with boundaries remains less explored. Milnor's book, "Topology from the Differentiable Viewpoint," is recommended as a key resource for understanding these concepts in Differential Topology. The theorem is also noted as an application of the Implicit Function Theorem, suggesting that extending it to manifolds with boundaries is a valuable exercise.
