Circular $m$-functions are introduced on smooth manifolds with boundary. We study the distribution of their critical circles and construct an example of a four-dimensional manifol $dM^4$ with boundary $∂M^4$ that satisfies the condition $ξ(∂M 4) = ξ(M^4,∂M^4) = 0$ but does not contain any circularm-...
