Some examples of nonsingular Morse-Smale vector fields on S 3

F. Wesley Wilson Jr (1977)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

One wonders or not whether it is possible to determine the homotopy class of a vector field by examining some algebraic invariants associated with its qualitative behavior. In this paper, we investigate the algebraic invariants which are usually associated with the periodic solutions of non-singular Morse-Smale vector fields on the 3-sphere. We exhibit some examples for which there appears to be no correlation between the algebraic invariants of the periodic solutions and the homotopy classes of...

Some homotopy theoretical questions arising in Nielsen coincidence theory

Ulrich Koschorke (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Basic examples show that coincidence theory is intimately related to central subjects of differential topology and homotopy theory such as Kervaire invariants and divisibility properties of Whitehead products and of Hopf invariants. We recall some recent results and ask a few questions which seem to be important for a more comprehensive understanding.

Some lagrangian invariants of symplectic manifolds

Michel Nguiffo Boyom (2007)

Banach Center Publications

The KV-homology theory is a new framework which yields interesting properties of lagrangian foliations. This short note is devoted to relationships between the KV-homology and the KV-cohomology of a lagrangian foliation. Let us denote by F (resp. V F ) the KV-algebra (resp. the space of basic functions) of a lagrangian foliation F. We show that there exists a pairing of cohomology and homology to V F . That is to say, there is a bilinear map H q ( F , V F ) × H q ( F , V F ) V F , which is invariant under F-preserving symplectic diffeomorphisms....

Some non-trivial PL knots whose complements are homotopy circles

Greg Friedman (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that there exist non-trivial piecewise linear (PL) knots with isolated singularities S n - 2 S , n ≥ 5, whose complements have the homotopy type of a circle. This is in contrast to the case of smooth, PL locally flat, and topological locally flat knots, for which it is known that if the complement has the homotopy type of a circle, then the knot is trivial.
