We introduce a 1-cocycle on the group of diffeomorphisms Diff(M) of a smooth manifold M endowed with a projective connection. This cocycle represents a nontrivial cohomology class of Diff(M) related to the Diff(M)-modules of second order linear differential operators on M. In the one-dimensional case, this cocycle coincides with the Schwarzian derivative, while, in the multi-dimensional case, it represents its natural and new generalization. This work is a continuation of [3] where the same problems...
We study the cohomology of the group consisting of all -diffeomorphisms of the line, which are -flat to the identity at the origin. We construct non-trivial two second real cohomology classes and uncountably many second integral homology classes of this group.
We prove that the space of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the 2-sphere which fix pointwise a nontrivial nonseparating continuum is a contractible absolute neighborhood retract homeomorphic to the separable Hilbert space .
We give a complete classification of germs of generic 2-distributions on 3-manifolds. By a 2-distribution we mean either a module generated by two vector fields (at singular points its dimension decreases) or a Pfaff equation, i.e. a module generated by a differential 1-form (at singular points the dimension of its kernel increases).
We consider the set of all almost Kähler structures (g,J) on a 2n-dimensional compact orientable manifold M and study a critical point of the functional with respect to the scalar curvature τ and the *-scalar curvature τ*. We show that an almost Kähler structure (J,g) is a critical point of if and only if (J,g) is a Kähler structure on M.
For a metrizable space X and a finite measure space (Ω, , µ), the space M µ(X) of all equivalence classes (under the relation of equality almost everywhere mod µ) of -measurable functions from Ω to X, whose images are separable, equipped with the topology of convergence in measure, and some of its subspaces are studied. In particular, it is shown that M µ(X) is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space provided µ is (nonzero) nonatomic and X is completely metrizable and has more than one point.
We describe an alternative approach to some results of Vassiliev ([Va1]) on spaces of polynomials, by applying the "scanning method" used by Segal ([Se2]) in his investigation of spaces of rational functions. We explain how these two approaches are related by the Smale-Hirsch Principle or the h-Principle of Gromov. We obtain several generalizations, which may be of interest in their own right.
Let X = (X,d) be a metric space and let the product space X × ℝ be endowed with the metric ϱ ((x,t),(x’,t’)) = maxd(x,x’), |t - t’|. We denote by the space of bounded upper semicontinuous multi-valued functions φ : X → ℝ such that each φ(x) is a closed interval. We identify with its graph which is a closed subset of X × ℝ. The space admits the Hausdorff metric induced by ϱ. It is proved that if X = (X,d) is uniformly locally connected, non-compact and complete, then is homeomorphic to a...
