A note on generalized flag structures

Tomasz Rybicki (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Generalized flag structures occur naturally in modern geometry. By extending Stefan's well-known statement on generalized foliations we show that such structures admit distinguished charts. Several examples are included.

A note on the cohomology ring of the oriented Grassmann manifolds G ˜ n , 4

Tomáš Rusin (2019)

Archivum Mathematicum

We use known results on the characteristic rank of the canonical 4 –plane bundle over the oriented Grassmann manifold G ˜ n , 4 to compute the generators of the 2 –cohomology groups H j ( G ˜ n , 4 ) for n = 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 . Drawing from the similarities of these examples with the general description of the cohomology rings of G ˜ n , 3 we conjecture some predictions.

A Note on the Rational Cuspidal Curves

Piotr Nayar, Barbara Pilat (2014)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

In this short note we give an elementary combinatorial argument, showing that the conjecture of J. Fernández de Bobadilla, I. Luengo-Velasco, A. Melle-Hernández and A. Némethi [Proc. London Math. Soc. 92 (2006), 99-138, Conjecture 1] follows from Theorem 5.4 of Brodzik and Livingston [arXiv:1304.1062] in the case of rational cuspidal curves with two critical points.

A proof of Reidemeister-Singer’s theorem by Cerf’s methods

François Laudenbach (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Heegaard splittings and Heegaard diagrams of a closed 3-manifold M are translated into the language of Morse functions with Morse-Smale pseudo-gradients defined on M . We make use in a very simple setting of techniques which Jean Cerf developed for solving a famous pseudo-isotopy problem. In passing, we show how to cancel the supernumerary local extrema in a generic path of functions when dim M > 2 . The main tool that we introduce is an elementary swallow tail lemma which could be useful elsewhere.

A proof of the two-dimensional Markus-Yamabe Stability Conjecture and a generalization

Robert Feßler (1995)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The following problem of Markus and Yamabe is answered affirmatively: Let f be a local diffeomorphism of the euclidean plane whose jacobian matrix has negative trace everywhere. If f(0) = 0, is it true that 0 is a global attractor of the ODE dx/dt = f(x)? An old result of Olech states that this is equivalent to the question if such an f is injective. Here the problem is treated in the latter form by means of an investigation of the behaviour of f near infinity.
