On the exponent of the cokernel of the forget-control map on K₀-groups

Francis X. Connolly, Stratos Prassidis (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For groups that satisfy the Isomorphism Conjecture in lower K-theory, we show that the cokernel of the forget-control K₀-groups is composed by the NK₀-groups of the finite subgroups. Using this information, we can calculate the exponent of each element in the cokernel in terms of the torsion of the group.

On the Heegaard genus of contact 3-manifolds

Burak Ozbagci (2011)

Open Mathematics

It is well-known that the Heegaard genus is additive under connected sum of 3-manifolds. We show that the Heegaard genus of contact 3-manifolds is not necessarily additive under contact connected sum. We also prove some basic properties of the contact genus (a.k.a. open book genus [Rubinstein J.H., Comparing open book and Heegaard decompositions of 3-manifolds, Turkish J. Math., 2003, 27(1), 189–196]) of 3-manifolds, and compute this invariant for some 3-manifolds.

On the homological category of 3-manifolds.

José Carlos Gómez Larrañaga, Francisco Javier González Acuña (1991)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Let M be a closed, connected, orientable 3-manifold. Denote by n(S1 x S2) the connected sum of n copies of S1 x S2. We prove that if the homological category of M is three then for some n ≥ 1, H*(M) is isomorphic (as a ring) to H*(n(S1 x S2)).

On the intersection forms of closed 4-manifolds.

Alberto Cavicchioli, Friedrich Hegenbarth (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Given a closed 4-manifold M, let M* be the simply-connected 4-manifold obtained from M by killing the fundamental group. We study the relation between the intersection forms λM and λM*. Finally some topological consequences and examples are described.
