The paper finds a geometric explanation for coinciding Thom polynomials of cusp and corank-2 singularities.

After a review of several methods designed to produce equivariant cohomology classes, we apply one introduced by Berline, Getzler and Vergne, to get a family of representatives of the universal Thom class of a vector bundle. Surprisingly, this family does not contain the representative given by Mathaï and Quillen. Howe…

These notes are the first chapter of a monograph, dedicated to a detailed proof of the equivariant index theorem for transversally elliptic operators. In this preliminary chapter, we prove a certain number of natural relations in equivariant cohomology. These relations include the Thom isomorphism in equivariant cohomo…

New geometric model for equivariant cohomotopy using bordism.

Enhances Pontryagin-Thom theorem for manifold maps.

Let G be a compact Lie group. Let M be a smooth G-manifold and V --> M be an oriented G-equivariant vector bundle. One defines the spaces of equivariant forms with generalized coefficients on V and M. An equivariant Thom form $θ$ on V is a compactly supported closed equivariant form such that its integral along the fib…

Proves a Thom isomorphism for foliated differential forms.

Develops a new geometric cobordism theory using smooth Thom stacks.

In this paper, we demonstrate a relation among Seiberg-Witten invariants which arises from embedded surfaces in four-manifolds whose self-intersection number is negative. These relations, together with Taubes' basic theorems on the Seiberg-Witten invariants of symplectic manifolds, are then used to prove the symplectic…

Proves a Thom Isotopy Theorem for nonproper semialgebraic maps.

Researchers describe a new Thom form for mapping cones.

In [5] I solved the Thom's conjecture that a proper Thom map is triangulable. In this paper I drop the properness condition in the semialgebraic case and, moreover, in the definable case in an o-minimal structure.

Proves Arnold-Thom conjectures for motion by mean curvature.

Thom announced a homological h-principle, which was later proven by connecting combinatorial techniques with Thurston's jiggling method.

Analytic realization of Thom-Smale complex for G-manifolds.

Let $N$ and $P$ be smooth closed manifolds of dimensions $n$ and $p$ respectively. Given a Thom-Boardman symbol $I$, a smooth map $f:N\to P$ is called an $Ω^{I}$-regular map if and only if the Thom-Boardman symbol of each singular point of $f$ is not greater than $I$ in the lexicographic order. We will represent the gr…

In this work we analyze the behavior of Massey products of closed manifolds under the blow-up construction. The results obtained in the article are applied to the problem of constructing closed symplectic non-formal manifolds. The proofs use Thom spaces as an important technical tool. This application of Thom spaces is…

This article is devoted to the study of smooth desingularization, which are customary employed in the definition of De Rham Intersection Cohomology with differential forms. In this paper we work with the category of Thom-Mather simple spaces. We construct a functor which sends each Thom-Mather simple space into a smoot…

We use the generalized Pontryagin-Thom construction to analyze the effect of attaching a bypass on the homotopy class of the contact structure. In particular, given a 3-dimensional contact manifold with convex boundary, we show that the bypass triangle attachment changes the homotopy class of the contact structure rela…

Combining classical and modern topology, shows maps between certain manifolds must have degree zero.

We define complex cobordism realizations of cohomological Thom polynomials and study their existence, uniqueness and other features. We show that problem is non-trivial on the example of $Σ^1$ singularity.

New constructions show manifold volumes are dense in non-negative reals.

Proves Arnold-Thom conjecture for surfaces' arrival times.

This paper studies torsion obstructions to complex sections on manifolds.

We study Thom Transversality Theorem using a point of view, suggested by Gromov, which allows to avoid the use of Sard Theorem and gives finer informations on the structure of the set of non-transverse maps.

We prove a generalization of Thom's transversality theorem. It gives conditions under which the jet map $f_*|_Y:Y\subseteq J^r(D,M)\ra J^r(D,N)$ is generically (for $f:M\ra N$) transverse to a submanifold $Z\subseteq J^r(D,N)$. We apply this to study transversality properties of a restriction of a fixed map $g:M\ra P$ …

We give a Pontryagin-Thom-Szucs type construction for non-positive codimensional singular maps, and obtain results about cobordism and bordism groups of -1 codimensional stable maps with prescribed singular fibers.

Develops deformation theory for mapping spaces related to Morse theory and Bott-Thom isomorphism.

Using certain Thom spectra appearing in the study of cobordism categories, we show that the odd half of the Miller-Morita-Mumford classes on the mappping class group of a surface with negative Euler characteristic vanish in integral cohomology when restricted to the handlebody subgroup. This is a special case of a more…

Paper confirms Thom's conjecture for nonlinear evolutions on manifolds.

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due a crucial sign error in Theorem B. We present a geometric proof of Thom conjecture, which uses Khovanov homology. Our approach doesn't use any analytic methods and is quite different from proof given by Kronheimer and Mrowka in 1994.

The main result of this paper is a sufficient condition in order to have a compact Thom-Mather stratified pseudomanifold endowed with a $\hat{c}$-iterated edge metric on its regular part $q$-parabolic. Moreover, besides stratified pseudomanifolds, the $q$-parabolicity of other classes of singular spaces, such as compac…

Study shows a modified cobordism category's first derivative is equivalent to a Thom spectrum.

We show that the spectrum constructed by Everitt and Turner as a possible Khovanov homotopy type is a product of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces and is thus determined by Khovanov homology. By using the Dold-Thom functor it can therefore be obtained from the Khovanov homotopy type constructed by Lipshitz and Sarkar.
