Notes on tiled incompressible tori

Leonid Plachta (2012)

Open Mathematics

Let Θ denote the class of essential tori in a closed braid complement which admit a standard tiling in the sense of Birman and Menasco [Birman J.S., Menasco W.W., Special positions for essential tori in link complements, Topology, 1994, 33(3), 525–556]. Moreover, let R denote the class of thin tiled tori in the sense of Ng [Ng K.Y., Essential tori in link complements, J. Knot Theory Ramifications, 1998, 7(2), 205–216]. We define the subclass B ⊂ Θ of typical tiled tori and show that R ⊂ B. We also...

Novikov homology, jump loci and Massey products

Toshitake Kohno, Andrei Pajitnov (2014)

Open Mathematics

Let X be a finite CW complex, and ρ: π 1(X) → GL(l, ℂ) a representation. Any cohomology class α ∈ H 1(X, ℂ) gives rise to a deformation γ t of ρ defined by γ t (g) = ρ(g) exp(t〈α, g〉). We show that the cohomology of X with local coefficients γ gen corresponding to the generic point of the curve γ is computable from a spectral sequence starting from H*(X, ρ). We compute the differentials of the spectral sequence in terms of the Massey products and show that the spectral sequence degenerates in case...

On 2-cycles of B Diff ( S 1 ) which are represented by foliated S 1 -bundles over T 2

Takashi Tsuboi (1981)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We give several sufficients conditions for a 2-cycle of B Diff ( S 1 ) d (resp. B Diff K ( R ) d ) represented by a foliated S 1 -(resp. R -) bundle over a 2-torus to be homologous to zero. Such a 2-cycle is determined by two commuting diffeomorphisms f , g of S 1 (resp. R ). If f , g have fixed points, we construct decompositions: f = π f i , g = π g i , where the interiors of Supp ( f i ) Supp ( g i ) are disjoint, and f i and g i belong either to { h i n ; n Z } ( h i Diff ) or to a one-parameter subgroup generated by a C 1 -vectorfield ξ i . Under some conditions on the norms...

On 2-distributions in 8-dimensional vector bundles over 8-complexes

Martin Čadek, Jiří Vanžura (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

It is shown that the 2 -index of a 2-distribution in an 8-dimensional spin vector bundle over an 8-complex is independent of the 2-distribution. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of 2-distributions in such vector bundles are given in terms of characteristic classes and a certain secondary cohomology operation. In some cases this operation is computed.

On 4-fields and 4-distributions in 8-dimensional vector bundles over 8-complexes

Martin Čadek, Jiří Vanžura (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let ξ be an oriented 8-dimensional spin vector bundle over an 8-complex. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for ξ to have 4 linearly independent sections or to be a sum of two 4-dimensional spin vector bundles, in terms of characteristic classes and higher order cohomology operations. On closed connected spin smooth 8-manifolds these operations can be computed.

On a secondary invariant of the hyperelliptic mapping class group

Takayuki Morifuji (2009)

Banach Center Publications

We discuss relations among several invariants of 3-manifolds including Meyer's function, the η-invariant, the von Neumann ρ-invariant and the Casson invariant from the viewpoint of the mapping class group of a surface.
