The Heegaard genus of manifolds obtained by surgery on links and knots.
Let M be a closed orientable manifold of dimension dand be the usual cochain algebra on M with coefficients in a fieldk. The Hochschild cohomology of M, is a graded commutative and associative algebra. The augmentation map induces a morphism of algebras . In this paper we produce a chain model for the morphism I. We show that the kernel of I is a nilpotent ideal and that the image of I is contained in the center of , which is in general quite small. The algebra is expected to be isomorphic...
The definition of a Stefan suspension of a diffeomorphism is given. If is the Stefan suspension of the diffeomorphism g over a Stefan foliation , and G₀ ∈ satisfies the condition , then we compute the *-holonomy group for the leaf determined by G₀. A representative element of the *-holonomy along the standard imbedding of S¹ into F₀ is characterized. A corollary for the case when G₀ contains only one point is derived.
Andreas Zastrow conjectured, and Cannon-Conner-Zastrow proved, that filling one hole in the Sierpiński curve with a disk results in a planar Peano continuum that is not homotopy equivalent to a 1-dimensional set. Zastrow's example is the motivation for this paper, where we characterize those planar Peano continua that are homotopy equivalent to 1-dimensional sets. While many planar Peano continua are not homotopy equivalent to 1-dimensional compacta, we prove that each has fundamental group that...
Sia un grupo di Lie compatto e semplice. Sia la più piccola orbita nilpotente non-banale nell'algebra di Lie complessa . Si presenta una costruzione diretta di teoria di Lie delle metriche iperKahler su con potenziale Kahleriano -invariante e compatibili con la forma simplettica complessa di Kostant-Kirillov-Souriau. In particolare si ottengono le metriche iperKahler dei fibrati associati sugli spazi di Wolf (spazi simmetrici quaternionali a curvatura scalare positiva).
