An extension to fields of positive characteristic of Mather's construction of the Thom-Boardman sequence
A new Jordanian quantum complex 4-sphere together with an instanton-type idempotent is obtained as a suspension of the Jordanian quantum group .
Let be a surface with a symplectic form, let be a symplectomorphism of , and let be the mapping torus of . We show that the dimensions of moduli spaces of embedded pseudoholomorphic curves in , with cylindrical ends asymptotic to periodic orbits of or multiple covers thereof, are bounded from above by an additive relative index. We deduce some compactness results for these moduli spaces. This paper establishes some of the foundations for a program with Michael Thaddeus, to understand...
This paper gives an exposition of algebraic K-theory, which studies functors , an integer. Classically introduced by Bass in the mid 60’s (based on ideas of Grothendieck and others) and introduced by Milnor [Introduction to algebraic K-theory, Annals of Math. Studies, 72, Princeton University Press, 1971: Zbl 0237.18005]. These functors are defined and applications to topological K-theory (Swan), number theory, topology and geometry (the Wall finiteness obstruction to a CW-complex being finite,...
We discuss a concept of loopoid as a non-associative generalization of Brandt groupoid. We introduce and study also an interesting class of more general objects which we call semiloopoids. A differential version of loopoids is intended as a framework for Lagrangian discrete mechanics.
The paper gives sufficient conditions for projections of certain pseudoconcave sets to be open. More specifically, it is shown that the range of an analytic set-valued function whose values are simply connected planar continua is open, provided there does not exist a point which belongs to boundaries of all the fibers. The main tool is a theorem on existence of analytic discs in certain polynomially convex hulls, obtained earlier by the author.
