Study cobordisms of nested manifolds and their invariants.

problem Understanding cobordisms of nested manifolds and their invariants.
method Identify a nested analog of the Pontryagin-Thom construction and find spaces homotopy equivalent to nested Pontryagin-Thom spaces.
result Discover nested cobordism invariants and provide an alternative proof of Wall's splitting result.

The groups of link bordism can be identified with homotopy groups via the Pontryagin-Thom construction. B.J. Sanderson computed the bordism group of 3 component surface-links using the Hilton-Milnor Theorem, and later gave a geometric interpretation of the groups in terms of intersections of Seifert hypersurfaces and t…

We will present proofs for two conjectures stated in arXiv:1808.08073. The first one is that for an arbitrary manifold WW, the homotopy classes of proper maps W×RnRk+nW\times\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^{k+n} stabilise as nn\to\infty, and the second one is that in a stable range there is a Pontryagin--Thom type bijection for …

We formulate a theory of pointed manifolds, accommodating both embeddings and Pontryagin-Thom collapse maps, so as to present a common generalization of Poincaré duality in topology and Koszul duality in En\mathcal{E}_n-algebra.

This paper is on homotopy classification of maps of (n+1)-dimensional manifolds into the n-dimensional sphere. For a continuous map f of an (n+1)-manifold into the n-sphere define the degree deg f to be the class dual to f^*[S^n], where [S^n] is the fundamental class. We present a short and direct proof of the followin…

Survey on manifolds with positive scalar curvature, focusing on obstructions and constructions.

problem Which manifolds admit positive scalar curvature metrics?
method Topological obstructions and geometric constructions (surgery/bordism theorem)
result The answer depends on the bordism class of the manifold, with complete solutions for simply connected manifolds.

In this paper we classify the homotopy classes of proper maps ERkE\rightarrow \mathbb R^k, where EE is a vector bundle over a compact Hausdorff space. As a corollary we compute the homotopy classes of proper maps RnRk\mathbb R^n\rightarrow \mathbb R^k. We find a stability range of such maps. We conclude with some remarks…

We provide an alternative proof that Koschorke's κκ-invariant is injective on the set of link homotopy classes of nn-component homotopy Brunnian links BLM(n)BLM(n). The existing proof (by Koschorke \cite{Koschorke97}) is based on the Pontryagin--Thom theory of framed cobordisms, whereas ours is closer in spirit to techni…

Steenrod homotopy theory is a framework for doing algebraic topology on general spaces in terms of algebraic topology of polyhedra; from another viewpoint, it studies the topology of the lim^1 functor (for inverse sequences of groups). This paper is primarily concerned with the case of compacta, in which Steenrod homot…

This is a survey paper of author's results on cobordism groups and semigroups of fold maps and simple fold maps. The results include: establishing a relation between fold maps and immersions through geometrical invariants of cobordism classes of fold maps and simple fold maps in terms of immersions with prescribed norm…

The paper explains the topological origin of the distinction between incidence theorems over division rings and fields.

method Extending the surface-graph approach to noncommutative settings, the paper analyzes the topological properties of graphs embedded on surfaces of different genera.
result Theorems associated with graphs on the sphere hold over any division ring, while those on surfaces of positive genus typically hold only if the ground ring is a field.
