On sectioning tangent bundles and other vector bundles

Korbaš, JúliusZvengrowski, Peter — 1996

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

This paper has two parts. Part one is mainly intended as a general introduction to the problem of sectioning vector bundles (in particular tangent bundles of smooth manifolds) by everywhere linearly independent sections, giving a survey of some ideas, methods and results.Part two then records some recent progress in sectioning tangent bundles of several families of specific manifolds.

On the non-invariance of span and immersion co-dimension for manifolds

Diarmuid J. CrowleyPeter D. Zvengrowski — 2008

Archivum Mathematicum

In this note we give examples in every dimension m 9 of piecewise linearly homeomorphic, closed, connected, smooth m -manifolds which admit two smoothness structures with differing spans, stable spans, and immersion co-dimensions. In dimension 15 the examples include the total spaces of certain 7 -sphere bundles over S 8 . The construction of such manifolds is based on the topological variance of the second Pontrjagin class: a fact which goes back to Milnor and which was used by Roitberg to give examples...

An application of principal bundles to coloring of graphs and hypergraphs

Milgram, James R.Zvengrowski, Peter — 1994

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

An interesting connection between the chromatic number of a graph G and the connectivity of an associated simplicial complex N ( G ) , its “neighborhood complex”, was found by Lovász in 1978 (cf. [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 25, 319-324 (1978; Zbl 0418.05028)]). In 1986 a generalization to the chromatic number of a k -uniform hypergraph H , for k an odd prime, using an associated simplicial complex C ( H ) , was found ([, and , Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 298, 359-370 (1986; Zbl 0605.05033)], Prop. 2.1). It was already...
