On signatures associated with ramified coverings and embedding problems

J. Wood, Emery Thomas (1973)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Given a cohomology class ξ H 2 ( M ; Z ) there is a smooth submanifold K M Poincaré dual to ξ . A special class of such embeddings is characterized by topological properties which hold for nonsingular algebraic hypersurfaces in C P n . This note summarizes some results on the question: how does the divisibility of ξ restrict the dual submanifolds K in this class ? A formula for signatures associated with a d -fold ramified cover of M branched along K is given and a proof is included in case d = 2 .

On slice knots in the complex projective plane.

Akira Yasuhara (1992)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We investigate the knots in the boundary of the punctured complex projective plane. Our result gives an affirmative answer to a question raised by Suzuki. As an application, we answer to a question by Mathieu.
