Harmonic morphisms and circle actions on 3- and 4-manifolds

Paul Baird (1990)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Harmonic morphisms are considered as a natural generalization of the analytic functions of Riemann surface theory. It is shown that any closed analytic 3-manifold supporting a non-constant harmonic morphism into a Riemann surface must be a Seifert fibre space. Harmonic morphisms ϕ : M N from a closed 4-manifold to a 3-manifold are studied. These determine a locally smooth circle action on M with possible fixed points. This restricts the topology of M . In all cases, a harmonic morphism ϕ : M N from a closed...

h-cobordism and s-cobordism Theorems: Transfer over Semialgebraic and Nash Categories, Uniform bound and Effectiveness

Mady Demdah Kartoue (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The h-cobordism theorem is a noted theorem in differential and PL topology. A generalization of the h-cobordism theorem for possibly non simply connected manifolds is the so called s-cobordism theorem. In this paper, we prove semialgebraic and Nash versions of these theorems. That is, starting with semialgebraic or Nash cobordism data, we get a semialgebraic homeomorphism (respectively a Nash diffeomorphism). The main tools used are semialgebraic triangulation and Nash approximation.One aspect of...

Heegaard splittings of the pair of solid torus and the core loop.

Chuichiro Hayashi, Koya Shimokawa (2001)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We show that any Heegaard splitting of the pair of the solid torus (≅D2xS1) and its core loop (an interior point xS1) is standard, using the notion of Heegaard splittings of pairs of 3-manifolds and properly imbedded graphs, which is defined in this paper.
