On Poincaré 3-Complexes with Binary Polyhedral Fundamental Group.
On pseudo-isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of a dimensional differentiable manifold.
We study self-homotopy equivalences and diffeomorphisms of the (n+1)-dimensional manifold X= #p(S1 x Sn) for any n ≥ 3. Then we completely determine the group of pseudo-isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of X and extend to dimension n well-known theorems due to F. Laudenbach and V. Poenaru (1972,1973), and J. M. Montesinos (1979).

On real flag manifolds with cup-length equal to its dimension
We prove that for any positive integers there exists a real flag manifold with cup-length equal to its dimension. Additionally, we give a necessary condition that an arbitrary real flag manifold needs to satisfy in order to have cup-length equal to its dimension.

On Seiberg-Witten equationsοn symplectic 4-manifolds
We discuss Taubes' idea to perturb the monopole equations on symplectic manifolds to compute the Seiberg-Witten invariants in the light of Witten's symmetry trick in the Kähler case.

On signatures associated with ramified coverings and embedding problems
Given a cohomology class there is a smooth submanifold Poincaré dual to . A special class of such embeddings is characterized by topological properties which hold for nonsingular algebraic hypersurfaces in . This note summarizes some results on the question: how does the divisibility of restrict the dual submanifolds in this class ? A formula for signatures associated with a -fold ramified cover of branched along is given and a proof is included in case .

On some spaces which are covered by a product space
In this note, a topological version of the results obtained, in connection with the de Rham reducibility theorem (Comment. Math. Helv., 26 ( 1952), 328–344), by S. Kashiwabara (Tôhoku Math. J., 8 (1956), 13–28), (Tôhoku Math. J., 11 (1959), 327–350) and Ia. L. Sapiro (Izv. Bysh. Uceb. Zaved. Mat. no6, (1972), 78–85, Russian), (Izv. Bysh. Uceb. Zaved. Mat. no4, (1974), 104–113, Russian) is given. Thus a characterization of a class of topological spaces covered by a product space is obtained and the...
On stability of 3-manifolds
We address the following question: How different can closed, oriented 3-manifolds be if they become homeomorphic after taking a product with a sphere? For geometric 3-manifolds this paper provides a complete answer to this question. For possibly non-geometric 3-manifolds, we establish results which concern 3-manifolds with finite fundamental group (i.e., 3-dimensional fake spherical space forms) and compare these results with results involving fake spherical space forms of higher...

On tame embeddings of solenoids into 3-space
Solenoids are inverse limits of the circle, and the classical knot theory is the theory of tame embeddings of the circle into 3-space. We make a general study, including certain classification results, of tame embeddings of solenoids into 3-space, seen as the "inverse limits" of tame embeddings of the circle. Some applications in topology and in dynamics are discussed. In particular, there are tamely embedded solenoids Σ ⊂ ℝ³ which are strictly achiral. Since solenoids are non-planar,...
