AbstractWe study the cohomology of the space of immersed genus g surfaces in a simply-connected manifold. We compute the rational cohomology of this space in a stable range which goes to infinity with g. In fact, in this stable range we are also able to obtain information about torsion in the cohomology of this space, as long as we localise away from (g-1).

We study a smooth analogue of jumping curves of a holomorphic vector bundle, and use Yang–Mills theory over S2 to show that any non-trivial, smooth Hermitian vector bundle E over a smooth simply connected manifold, must have such curves. This is used to give new examples complex manifolds for which a non-trivial holomorphic vector bundle must have jumping curves in the classical sense (when c1(E) is zero). We also use this to give a new proof of a theorem of Gromov on the norm of curvature of unitary connections, and make the theorem slightly sharper. Lastly we define a sequence of new non-trivial integer invariants of smooth manifolds, connected to this theory of smooth jumping curves, and make some computations of these invariants. Our methods include an application of the recently developed Morse–Bott chain complex for the Yang–Mills functional over S2.

Lagrangian Cobordism

Abstract Let Q be a simply connected manifold. We show that every exact Lagrangian cobordism between compact, exact Lagrangians in T*Q is an h-cobordism. This is a corollary of the Abouzaid–Kragh Theorem.

Let P be the set of primes, l ⊆ P a subset and l′ = P – l Recall that an H0-space is a space the rational cohomology of which is a free algebra.Cassidy and Hilton defined and investigated l′-isolated homomorphisms between locally nilpotent groups. Zabrodsky [8] showed that if X and Y are simply connected H0-spaces either with a finite number of homotopy groups or with a finite number of homology groups, then every rational equivalence f : X → Y can be decomposed into an l-equivalence and an l′-equivalence.In this paper we define and investigate l′-isolated maps between pointed spaces, which are of the homotopy type of path-connected nilpotent CW-complexes. Our definition of an l′-isolated map is analogous to the definition of an l′-isolated homomorphism. As every homomorphism can be decomposed into an l-isomorphism and an l′-isolated homomorphism, every map can be decomposed into an l-equivalence and an l′-isolated map.

AbstractLet f be a smooth self-map of m-dimensional, m ≥ 4, smooth closed connected and simply-connected manifold, r a fixed natural number. For the class of maps with periodic sequence of Lefschetz numbers of iterations the authors introduced in [Graff G., Kaczkowska A., Reducing the number of periodic points in smooth homotopy class of self-maps of simply-connected manifolds with periodic sequence of Lefschetz numbers, Ann. Polon. Math. (in press)] the topological invariant J[f] which is equal to the minimal number of periodic points with the periods less or equal to r in the smooth homotopy class of f.In this paper the invariant J[f] is computed for self-maps of 4-manifold M with dimH 2(M; ℚ) ≤ 4 and estimated for other types of manifolds. We also use J[f] to compare minimization of the number of periodic points in smooth and in continuous categories.

The Universe

Suppose [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are finite complexes, with [Formula: see text] simply connected. Gromov conjectured that the number of mapping classes in [Formula: see text] which can be realized by [Formula: see text]-Lipschitz maps grows asymptotically as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is an integer determined by the rational homotopy type of [Formula: see text] and the rational cohomology of [Formula: see text]. This conjecture was disproved in a recent paper of the author and Weinberger; we gave an example where the “predicted” growth is [Formula: see text] but the true growth is [Formula: see text]. Here we show, via a different mechanism, that the universe of possible such growth functions is quite large. In particular, for every rational number [Formula: see text], there is a pair [Formula: see text] for which the growth of [Formula: see text] is essentially [Formula: see text].

Abstract Given a Lie algebroid we discuss the existence of a smooth abelian integration of its abelianization. We show that the obstructions are related to the extended monodromy groups introduced recently in [9]. We also show that this groupoid can be obtained by a path-space construction, similar to the Weinstein groupoid of [6], but where the underlying homotopies are now supported in surfaces with arbitrary genus. As an application, we show that the prequantization condition for a (possibly non-simply connected) manifold is equivalent to the smoothness of an abelian integration. Our results can be interpreted as a generalization of the classical Hurewicz theorem.
