Simply Connected

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.

AbstractT. Ding has shown that a topologically transitive flow on the torus given by a real analytic vector field is orbitally equivalent to a Kronecker flow on the torus, modified so as to have a finite number of fixed points, provided the original flow had only a finite number of fixed points. In this paper it is shown that the assumption that there are only finitely many fixed points is unnecessary.

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.

Let D be a bounded, closed, simply-connected domain whose boundary C consists of a finite number of analytic Jordan curves. Let γ be any analytic arc of C. Then we shall prove the following theorem.Theorem 1. Let u(x, y) be harmonic in the interior of D and continuous on γ, and let ϱu(x, y)/ϱn=g(s) when (x, y) is on γ, where g(s) is an analytic function of arc-length s along γ. Then u(x, y) can be harmonically continued across γ.

AbstractWe have defined and studied some pseudogroups of local diffeomorphisms which generalise the complex analytic pseudogroups. A 4-dimensional (or 8-dimensional) manifold modelled on these ‘Further pseudogroups’ turns out to be a quaternionic (respectively octonionic) manifold.We characterise compact Further manifolds as being products of compact Riemann surfaces with appropriate dimensional spheres. It then transpires that a connected compact quaternionic (H) (respectively O) manifold X, minus a finite number of circles (its ‘real set’), is the orientation double covering of the product Y × P2, (respectively Y×P6), where Y is a connected surface equipped with a canonical conformal structure and Pn is n-dimensonal real projective space.A corollary is that the only simply-connected compact manifolds which can allow H (respectively O) structure are S4 and S2 × S2 (respectively S8 and S2×S6).Previous authors, for example Marchiafava and Salamon, have studied very closely-related classes of manifolds by differential geometric methods. Our techniques in this paper are function theoretic and topological.

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.
