Enhances Pontryagin-Thom theorem for manifold maps.

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…

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

The paper connects cut locus, Thom space, and Morse-Bott functions in Riemannian geometry.

In a previous work we proved the uniqueness and functoriality of primary unfoldings on simple Thom-Mather spaces, which is a functor to the category of smooth manifolds. In this article we extend these results for any stratified Thom-Mather pseudomanifold with arbitary finite length, through a new kind of intermediate …

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 …

Maps self-duality in little disks operad to framed manifolds.

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.

Relative Thom polynomials for maps around boundaries established.

Proves Thom's conjecture for parabolic flows on Hilbert spaces.

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

Extends cohomology to incomplete Riemannian manifolds.

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 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.

Paper constructs Thom-Smale complex using instantons from Morse functions.

The Kalinin effectivity is studied and applied to compactifications and Hilbert squares.

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

Introduces quasi-holomorphic maps and their properties.

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

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…

Characterizes values of slice-torus invariants related to knot genus.

We prove a Thom isomorphism theorem for differential forms in the setting of transverse Lie algebra actions on foliated manifolds and foliated vector bundles.

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…

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

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.

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…

We demonstrate the usage of explicit form of the Thom class found by Mathai and Quillen for the definition of generating functional of a simple supersymmetric quantum mechanical model.

Proves Arnold-Thom conjecture for surfaces' arrival times.

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.

Study local moduli of Sasaki-Einstein metrics on specific polynomial links.

We show that the cobordism groups of negative codimensional folds maps contain direct sums of stable homotopy groups of Thom spaces of vector bundles like the circle and the infinite dimensional projective space. We give geometrical invariants which detect these direct summands.

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.

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

We classify all closed 1-connected manifolds $M$ which look like projective planes, i.e. with integral homology $H_*(M)=Z^3$. Furthermore, we give an explicit construction of these manifolds as Thom spaces of open disk bundles.

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…

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

Novel construction of Bauer--Furuta invariant using sheaves of spectra.

Generalizes Pontryagin's construction for proper maps in stable dimensions.

The paper (in French) exemplifies graphically a solution of the heat equation which is a 1-dimensional unfolding of an elliptic umbilic catastrophe. The example is due to James Damon and adapts Thom-Mather's singularity theory to multiscale models of scale-space analysis in image processing.

Establishes jet transversality for regular maps from flexible manifolds.

Given a smooth compact manifold with boundary, we show that the subcomplex of the deformed de Rham complex consisting of eigenspaces of small eigenvalues of the Witten Laplacian is canonically isomorphic to the Thom-Smale complex constructed by Laudenbach. Our proof is based on Bismut-Lebeau's analytic localization tec…

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…

Let M be one of the projective spaces CP^n, HP^n for n>1 or the Cayley projective plane OP^2, and let LM denote the free loop space on M. Using Morse theory methods, we prove that the suspension spectrum of (LM)_+ is homotopy equivalent to the suspension spectrum of M_+ wedge a family of Thom spaces of explicit vector …
