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…

New findings contradict the Thom conjecture for high degree hypersurfaces in CP3CP^3.

We develop a theory of parametrized geometric cobordism by introducing smooth Thom stacks. This requires identifying and constructing a smooth representative of the Thom functor acting on vector bundles equipped with extra geometric data, leading to a geometric refinement of the the Pontrjagin-Thom construction in stac…

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…

These notes are the first chapter of a monograph, dedicated to a detailed proof of the equivariant index theorem for transversally elliptic operators.

The study calculates the Smith-Thom deficiency of Hilbert squares and provides conditions for maximality.

problem Calculating the Smith-Thom deficiency of Hilbert squares and conditions for maximality.
method Using Mayer-Vietoris mapping and rank calculations.
result Established necessary and sufficient conditions for maximality of Hilbert squares in projective complete intersections.

The first part of this article intends to present the role played by Thom in diffusing Smale's ideas about immersion theory, at a time (1957) where some famous mathematicians were doubtful about them: it is clearly impossible to make the sphere inside out! Around a decade later, M. Gromov transformed Smale's idea in wh…

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

problem Thom's gradient conjecture for nonlinear evolution equations.
method Extending and settling the conjecture in infinite dimensional problems using Łojasiewicz, L. Simon, and Kurdyka-Mostowski-Parusinski's foundational works.
result Uniqueness of the limiting direction and characterization of convergence rates for both classical and infinite dimensional settings.

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due a crucial sign error in Theorem B. We present a geometric proof of Thom conjecture, which uses Khovanov homology.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.

We develop a new purely combinatorial approach to N. Steenrod's problem on realisation of cycles. We prove that every n-dimensional homology class of every topological space can be realised with some multiplicity by an image of a finite-fold covering over the manifold M^n, where M^n is the isospectral manifold of real …

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 θθ on V is a compactly supported closed equivariant form such that its integral along the fib…

We indicate how to combine some classical topology (Thom's work on the Steenrod problem) with some modern topology (simplicial volume) to show that every map between certain manifolds must have degree zero. We furthermore discuss a homotopy theoretic interpretation of parts of our proof, using Thom spaces and Steenrod …

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

problem Analyzing the homotopy type of surface cobordism categories.
method Defined a new cobordism category over a base space, proving properties of induced functors and derivatives.
result The first derivative of the induced functor 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.
