Strong Lefschetz Property

Professor Vicente Muñoz kindly informed us that there is an inaccuracy in Lemma 3.5 of [1]. The correct statement of Lemma 3.5 is now that the fundamental group π1(X′) of the manifold X′ is Z, since the monodromy coming from φ8 does not imply that g4 = g4−1. Therefore, what we have actually constructed in Section 3 of [1] is a closed non-formal 8-dimensional symplectic manifold with π1 = Z whose triple Massey product is non-zero, so that the simply-connectedness in Theorem 1.1 should be dropped. As far as we know, the existence of a simply connected closed non-formal 8-dimensional symplectic manifold whose triple Massey product is non-zero still remains an open question. All other main results, especially Theorem 1.2 and Corollary 1.3, in [1] are not affected by this mistake. Furthermore, the stability of the non-formality under a finite covering as in Subsection 3.3 holds in general. We want to thank Professor Muñoz for his careful reading.

Strong Lefschetz Property

AbstractThe main aim of this paper is to give some non-trivial results that exhibit the difference and similarity between Kähler and symplectic manifolds. To be precise, it is known that simply connected symplectic manifolds of dimension greater than 8, in general, do not satisfy the formality satisfied by all Kähler manifolds. In this paper we show that such non-formality of simply connected symplectic manifolds occurs even in dimension 8. We do this by some complicated but explicit construction of a simply connected non-formal symplectic manifold of dimension 8. In this construction we essentially use a variation of the construction of a simply connected symplectic manifold by Gompf. As a consequence, we can give infinitely many simply connected non-formal symplectic manifolds of any even dimension no less than 8.Secondly, we show that every compact symplectic manifold admitting a semi-free Hamiltonian circle action with only isolated fixed points must satisfy the strong Lefschetz property satisfied by all Kähler manifolds. This result shows that the strong Lefschetz property for the symplectic manifold admitting Hamiltonian circle actions is closely related to their fixed point set, as expected.

AbstractA finitely presented 1-ended group $G$ has semistable fundamental group at infinity if $G$ acts geometrically on a simply connected and locally compact ANR $Y$ having the property that any two proper rays in $Y$ are properly homotopic. This property of $Y$ captures a notion of connectivity at infinity stronger than “1-ended”, and is in fact a feature of $G$, being independent of choices. It is a fundamental property in the homotopical study of finitely presented groups. While many important classes of groups have been shown to have semistable fundamental group at infinity, the question of whether every $G$ has this property has been a recognized open question for nearly forty years. In this paper we attack the problem by considering a proper but non-cocompact action of a group $J$ on such an $Y$. This $J$ would typically be a subgroup of infinite index in the geometrically acting over-group $G$; for example $J$ might be infinite cyclic or some other subgroup whose semistability properties are known. We divide the semistability property of $G$ into a $J$-part and a “perpendicular to $J$” part, and we analyze how these two parts fit together. Among other things, this analysis leads to a proof (in a companion paper) that a class of groups previously considered to be likely counter examples do in fact have the semistability property.

Lin and Sjamaar have used symplectic Hodge theory to obtain canonical equivariant extensions for Hamiltonian actions on closed symplectic manifolds that have the strong Lefschetz property. Here we obtain canonical equivariant extensions much more generally by means of classical Hodge theory.

AbstractWe review topological properties of Kähler and symplectic manifolds, and of their odd-dimensional counterparts, coKähler and cosymplectic manifolds. We focus on formality, Lefschetz property and parity of Betti numbers, also distinguishing the simply-connected case (in the Kähler/symplectic situation) and the b

Compact Kähler Manifold

We show some examples of compact symplectic solvmanifolds, of dimension greater than four, which are cohomologically Kähler and do not admit Kähler metric since their fundamental groups cannot be the fundamental group of any compact Kähler manifold. Some of the examples that we study were considered by Benson and Gordon (1990). However, whether such manifolds have Kähler metrics was an open question. The formality and the hard Lefschetz property are studied for the symplectic submanifolds constructed by Auroux (1997) and some consequences are discussed.

<div><div><div><p>The emergence of viral nanotechnology over the preceding two decades has created a number of intellectually captivating possible translational applications; however, the in vitro fate of the viral nanoparticles in cells remains an open question. Herein, we investigate the stability and lifetime of virus-like particle (VLP) Qβ - a representative and popular VLP for several applications - following cellular uptake. By exploiting the available functional handles on the viral surface, we have orthogonally installed the known FRET pair, FITC and Rhodamine B, to gain insight of the particle’s behavior in vitro. Based on these data, we believe VLPs undergo aggregation in addition to the anticipated proteolysis within a few hours of cellular uptake.</p></div></div></div>

Abstract Let $\pi$ be a group satisfying the Farrell–Jones conjecture and assume that $B\pi$ is a 4-dimensional Poincaré duality space. We consider topological, closed, connected manifolds with fundamental group $\pi$ whose canonical map to $B\pi$ has degree 1, and show that two such manifolds are s-cobordant if and only if their equivariant intersection forms are isometric and they have the same Kirby–Siebenmann invariant. If $\pi$ is good in the sense of Freedman, it follows that two such manifolds are homeomorphic if and only if they are homotopy equivalent and have the same Kirby–Siebenmann invariant. This shows rigidity in many cases that lie between aspherical 4-manifolds, where rigidity is expected by Borel’s conjecture, and simply connected manifolds where rigidity is a consequence of Freedman’s classification results.

In this paper, we show the relationship between 2-form of the two projective tangent bundle and the relationship between 2-form on projective tangent bundle and 1-form on by using the theory of fiber bundle and the properties of symplectic manifold of the projective tangent bundle . Moreover, we derived a simpler formula of Lie derivative of a special vector field, which is on the projective tangent bundle.

In this paper, we give partial answers to the following questions: Which contact manifolds are contactomorphic to links of isolated complex singularities? Which symplectic manifolds are symplectomorphic to smooth affine varieties? The invariant that we will use to distinguish such manifolds is called the growth rate of wrapped Floer cohomology. Using this invariant we show that if [Formula: see text] is a simply connected manifold whose unit cotangent bundle is contactomorphic to the link of an isolated singularity or whose cotangent bundle is symplectomorphic to a smooth affine variety then M must be rationally elliptic and so it must have certain bounds on its Betti numbers.
