Equivariant Maps

AbstractLet E → B be a fibre bundle and let Eʹ → B be a vector bundle. Let G be a compact Lie group acting fibre preservingly and freely on both E and Eʹ – 0, where 0 is the zero section of Eʹ → B. Let f : E → Eʹ be a fibre-preserving G-equivariant map and let Zf = {x ∈ E | f(x) = 0} be the zero set of f. In this paper we give a lower bound for the cohomological dimension of the zero set Zf when a fibre of E → B is a real Stiefel manifold with a free ℤ/2-action or a complex Stiefel manifold with a free 𝕊1-action. This generalizes a well-known result of Dold for sphere bundles equipped with free involutions.

Abstract Let 𝓔 k denote the set of diffeomorphism classes of closed connected smooth k-manifolds X with the property that for any oriented vector bundle α over X, the Euler class e(α) = 0. We show that if X ∈ 𝓔2n+1 is orientable, then X is a rational homology sphere and π 1(X) is perfect. We also show that 𝓔8 = ∅ and derive additional cohomlogical restrictions on orientable manifolds in 𝓔 k .

Equivariant Maps

Let G be a compact Lie group and V and W be linear G spaces. A study is made of the canonical stratification of some algebraic varieties that arise naturally in the theory of C∞ equivariant maps from V to W. The main corollary of our results is the equivalence of Bierstone's concept of “equivariant general position” with our own of “G transversal”. The paper concludes with a description of Bierstone's higher order conditions for equivariant maps in the framework of equisingularity sequences.

Principal Bundles

AbstractFor a 2-category 2C we associate a notion of a principal 2C-bundle. For the 2-category of 2-vector spaces, in the sense of M.M. Kapranov and V.A. Voevodsky, this gives the 2-vector bundles of N.A. Baas, B.I. Dundas and J. Rognes. Our main result says that the geometric nerve of a good 2-category is a classifying space for the associated principal 2-bundles. In the process of proving this we develop powerful machinery which may be useful in further studies of 2-categorical topology. As a corollary we get a new proof of the classification of principal bundles. Another 2-category of 2-vector spaces has been proposed by J.C. Baez and A.S. Crans. A calculation using our main theorem shows that in this case the theory of principal 2-bundles splits, up to concordance, as two copies of ordinary vector bundle theory. When 2C is a cobordism type 2-category we get a new notion of cobordism-bundles which turns out to be classified by the Madsen–Weiss spaces.

Abstract Given a smooth Hermitian vector bundle $\mathcal{E}$ over a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, we study generic properties of unitary connections $\nabla ^{\mathcal{E}}$ on the vector bundle $\mathcal{E}$. First of all, we show that twisted conformal Killing tensors (CKTs) are generically trivial when $\dim (M) \geq 3$, answering an open question of Guillarmou–Paternain–Salo–Uhlmann [ 14]. In negative curvature, it is known that the existence of twisted CKTs is the only obstruction to solving exactly the twisted cohomological equations, which may appear in various geometric problems such as the study of transparent connections. The main result of this paper says that these equations can be generically solved. As a by-product, we also obtain that the induced connection $\nabla ^{\textrm{End}({\operatorname{{\mathcal{E}}}})}$ on the endomorphism bundle $\textrm{End}({\operatorname{{\mathcal{E}}}})$ has generically trivial CKTs as long as $(M,g)$ has no nontrivial CKTs on its trivial line bundle. Eventually, we show that, under the additional assumption that $(M,g)$ is Anosov (i.e., the geodesic flow is Anosov on the unit tangent bundle), the connections are generically opaque, namely that generically there are no non-trivial subbundles of $\mathcal{E}$ that are preserved by parallel transport along geodesics. The proofs rely on the introduction of a new microlocal property for (pseudo)differential operators called operators of uniform divergence type, and on perturbative arguments from spectral theory (especially on the theory of Pollicott–Ruelle resonances in the Anosov case).

Neighborhood Theorem

This chapter describes the topology of a group action. It proves some topological facts about the fixed point set and the stabilizers of a continuous or a smooth action. The chapter also introduces the equivariant tubular neighborhood theorem and the equivariant Mayer–Vietoris sequence. A tubular neighborhood of a submanifold S in a manifold M is a neighborhood that has the structure of a vector bundle over S. Because the total space of a vector bundle has the same homotopy type as the base space, in calculating cohomology one may replace a submanifold by a tubular neighborhood. The tubular neighborhood theorem guarantees the existence of a tubular neighborhood for a compact regular submanifold. The Mayer–Vietoris sequence is a powerful tool for calculating the cohomology of a union of two open subsets. Both the tubular neighborhood theorem and the Mayer–Vietoris sequence have equivariant counterparts for a G-manifold where G is a compact Lie group.

Suppose $X$ is a smooth complex algebraic variety. A necessary condition for a complex topological vector bundle on $X$ (viewed as a complex manifold) to be algebraic is that all Chern classes must be algebraic cohomology classes, that is, lie in the image of the cycle class map. We analyze the question of whether algebraicity of Chern classes is sufficient to guarantee algebraizability of complex topological vector bundles. For affine varieties of dimension ${\leqslant}3$, it is known that algebraicity of Chern classes of a vector bundle guarantees algebraizability of the vector bundle. In contrast, we show in dimension ${\geqslant}4$ that algebraicity of Chern classes is insufficient to guarantee algebraizability of vector bundles. To do this, we construct a new obstruction to algebraizability using Steenrod operations on Chow groups. By means of an explicit example, we observe that our obstruction is nontrivial in general.

Abstract Let 𝑋 be a holomorphically convex complex manifold and Exc(𝑋) ⊆ 𝑋 the union of all positive dimensional compact analytic subsets of 𝑋. We assume that Exc(𝑋) ≠ 𝑋 and 𝑋 is not a Stein manifold. Here we prove the existence of a holomorphic vector bundle 𝐸 on 𝑋 such that is not holomorphically trivial for every open neighborhood 𝑈 of Exc(𝑋) and every integer 𝑚 ≥ 0. Furthermore, we study the existence of holomorphic vector bundles on such a neighborhood 𝑈, which are not extendable across a 2-concave point of ∂(𝑈).

AbstractWe ask when the CM (Castelnuovo–Mumford) regularity of a vector bundle on a projective variety X is numerical, and address the case when X is an abelian variety. We show that the continuous CM-regularity of a semihomogeneous vector bundle on an abelian variety X is a piecewise-constant function of Chern data, and we also use generic vanishing theory to obtain a sharp upper bound for the continuous CM-regularity of any vector bundle on X. From these results we conclude that the continuous CM-regularity of many semihomogeneous bundles — including many Verlinde bundles when X is a Jacobian — is both numerical and extremal.
