The cohomology of holomorphic self maps of the Riemann sphere.
We describe explicitly the group of transverse diffeomorphisms of several types of minimal linear foliations on the torus , . We show in particular that non-quadratic foliations are rigid, in the sense that their only transverse diffeomorphisms are and translations. The description derives from a general formula valid for the group of transverse diffeomorphisms of any minimal Lie foliation on a compact manifold. Our results generalize those of P. Donato and P. Iglesias for , P. Iglesias and...
The space Bi0 = Imm0 (S1, R2) / Diff (S1) of all immersions of rotation degree 0 in the plane modulo reparameterizations has homotopy groups π1(Bi0) = Z, π2(Bi0) = Z, and πk(Bi0) = 0 for k ≥ 3.
We discuss the geometry of the Yang-Mills configuration spaces and moduli spaces with respect to the metric. We also consider an application to a de Rham-theoretic version of Donaldson’s μ-map.
We construct an infinite-dimensional real analytic manifold structure on the space of real analytic mappings from a compact manifold to a locally convex manifold. Here a map is defined to be real analytic if it extends to a holomorphic map on some neighbourhood of the complexification of its domain. As is well known, the construction turns the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms into a smooth locally convex Lie group. We prove that this group is regular in the sense of Milnor. ...
