Abstract
Let $B$ be a M\"obius band and $f:B \to \mathbb{R}$ be a Morse map taking a constant value on $\partial B$, and $\mathcal{S}(f,\partial B)$ be the group of diffeomorphisms $h$ of $B$ fixed on $\partial B$ and preserving $f$ in the sense that $f\circ h = f$.
Under certain assumptions on $f$ we compute the group $\pi_0\mathcal{S}(f,\partial B)$ of isotopy classes of such diffeomorphisms.
In fact, those computations hold for functions $f:B\to\mathbb{R}$ whose germs at critical points are smoothly equivalent to homogeneous polynomials $\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}$ without multiple factors.
Together with previous results of the second author this allows to compute similar groups for certain classes of smooth functions $f:N\to\mathbb{R}$ on non-orientable compact surfaces $N$.
