Seiberg-Witten invariants, the topological degree and wall crossing formula

Maciej Starostka (2012)

Open Mathematics

Following S. Bauer and M. Furuta we investigate finite dimensional approximations of a monopole map in the case b 1 = 0. We define a certain topological degree which is exactly equal to the Seiberg-Witten invariant. Using homotopy invariance of the topological degree a simple proof of the wall crossing formula is derived.

Some homotopy theoretical questions arising in Nielsen coincidence theory

Ulrich Koschorke (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Basic examples show that coincidence theory is intimately related to central subjects of differential topology and homotopy theory such as Kervaire invariants and divisibility properties of Whitehead products and of Hopf invariants. We recall some recent results and ask a few questions which seem to be important for a more comprehensive understanding.

Some Results on Maps That Factor through a Tree

Roger Züst (2015)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a map deffned on a simply-connected quasi-convex metric space to factor through a tree. In case the target is the Euclidean plane and the map is Hölder continuous with exponent bigger than 1/2, such maps can be characterized by the vanishing of some integrals over winding number functions. This in particular shows that if the target is the Heisenberg group equipped with the Carnot-Carathéodory metric and the Hölder exponent of the map is bigger than...

Spaces with fibered approximation property in dimension n

Taras Banakh, Vesko Valov (2010)

Open Mathematics

A metric space M is said to have the fibered approximation property in dimension n (briefly, M ∈ FAP(n)) if for any ɛ > 0, m ≥ 0 and any map g: 𝕀 m × 𝕀 n → M there exists a map g′: 𝕀 m × 𝕀 n → M such that g′ is ɛ-homotopic to g and dim g′ (z × 𝕀 n) ≤ n for all z ∈ 𝕀 m. The class of spaces having the FAP(n)-property is investigated in this paper. The main theorems are applied to obtain generalizations of some results due to Uspenskij [11] and Tuncali-Valov [10].
