A quick proof of the 4-dimensional stable surgery theorem.
We shall prove the following Theorem. Let Fs and Fu be two continuous transverse foliations with uniformly smooth leaves, of some manifold. If f is uniformly smooth along the leaves of Fs and Fu, then f is smooth.
We prove that the standard action of the mapping class group of a surface of sufficiently large genus on the unit tangent bundle is not homotopic to any smooth action.
The author gives an example showing that Thurston’s stability theorem cannot be generalized to non-oriented foliations.
To calculate the zeros of a map f : Rn → Rn we consider the class of triangulations of Rn so that a certain point belongs to a simplex of fixed diameter and dimension. In this paper two types of this new class of triangulations are constructed and shown to be useful to calculate zeros of piecewise linear approximations of f.
The aim of this paper is to introduce a spectral sequence that converges to the cobordism groups of orbifolds with given isotropy representations. In good cases the E¹-term of this spectral sequence is given by a certain cobordism group of orbibundles over purely ineffective orbifolds which can be identified with the bordism group of the classifying space of the Weyl group of a finite subgroup of O(n). We use this spectral sequence to calculate some cobordism groups of orbifolds for low dimensions,...
Here we show that a Kupka component of a codimension 1 singular foliation of with not a square is a complete intersection. The result implies the existence of a meromorphic first integral of .
