We give an explicit formula for the Casson-Walker invariant of double branched covers of S3 branched along ribbon knots of 1-fusion.
In this paper, we consider a Riemannian foliation that admits a nontrivial parallel or harmonic basic form. We estimate the norm of the O’Neill tensor in terms of the curvature data of the whole manifold. Some examples are then given.
Every open manifold of dimension greater than one has complete Riemannian metrics with bounded geometry such that is not quasi-isometric to a leaf of a codimension one foliation of a closed manifold. Hence no conditions on the local geometry of suffice to make it quasi-isometric to a leaf of such a foliation. We introduce the ‘bounded homology property’, a semi-local property of that is necessary for it to be a leaf in a compact manifold in codimension one, up to quasi-isometry. An essential...
We obtain rigidity and gluing results for the Morse complex of a real-valued Morse function as well as for the Novikov complex of a circle-valued Morse function. A rigidity result is also proved for the Floer complex of a hamiltonian defined on a closed symplectic manifold with . The rigidity results for these complexes show that the complex of a fixed generic function/hamiltonian is a retract of the Morse (respectively Novikov or Floer) complex of any other sufficiently close generic function/hamiltonian....
