On analytic torsion over C*-algebras

Alan Carey, Varghese Mathai, Alexander Mishchenko (1999)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper, we present an analytic definition for the relative torsion for flat C*-algebra bundles over a compact manifold. The advantage of such a relative torsion is that it is defined without any hypotheses on the flat C*-algebra bundle. In the case where the flat C*-algebra bundle is of determinant class, we relate it easily to the L^2 torsion as defined in [7],[5].

On blowing up versal discriminants

Piotr Jaworski (1998)

Banach Center Publications

It is well-known that the versal deformations of nonsimple singularities depend on moduli. The first step in deeper understanding of this phenomenon is to determine the versal discriminant, which roughly speaking is an obstacle for analytic triviality of an unfolding or deformation along the moduli. The goal of this paper is to describe the versal discriminant of Z k , 0 and Q k , 0 singularities basing on the fact that the deformations of these singularities may be obtained as blowing ups of certain deformations...

On complete intersections

Franc Forstnerič (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We construct closed complex submanifolds of n which are differential but not holomorphic complete intersections. We also prove a homotopy principle concerning the removal of intersections with certain complex subvarieties of n .

On constructions of generalized skein modules

Uwe Kaiser (2014)

Banach Center Publications

Józef Przytycki introduced skein modules of 3-manifolds and skein deformation initiating algebraic topology based on knots. We discuss the generalized skein modules of Walker, defined by fields and local relations. Some results by Przytycki are proven in a more general setting of fields defined by decorated cell-complexes in manifolds. A construction of skein theory from embedded TQFT-functors is given, and the corresponding background is developed. The possible coloring of fields by elements of...

On curvature constructions of symplectic forms

Anna Szczepkowska, Aleksy Tralle, Artur Woike (2011)

Banach Center Publications

We generalize the result of Lerman [Letters Math. Phys. 15 (1988)] concerning the condition of fatness of the canonical connection in a certain principal fibre bundle. We also describe new classes of symplectically fat bundles: twistor budles over spheres, bundles over quaternionic Kähler homogeneous spaces and locally homogeneous complex manifolds.

On deformations of holomorphic foliations

Joan Girbau, Marcel Nicolau (1989)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Given a non-singular holomorphic foliation on a compact manifold M we analyze the relationship between the versal spaces K and K tr of deformations of as a holomorphic foliation and as a transversely holomorphic foliation respectively. With this purpose, we prove the existence of a versal unfolding of parametrized by an analytic space K f isomorphic to π - 1 ( 0 ) × Σ where Σ is smooth and π : K K tr is the forgetful map. The map π is shown to be an epimorphism in two situations: (i) if H 2 ( M , Θ f ) = 0 , where Θ f is the sheaf of...
