48 results for caps

It is classically known that generic smooth maps of R^2 into R^3 admit only cross cap singularities. This suggests that the class of cross caps might be an important object in differential geometry. We show that the standard cross cap (u,uv,v^2) has non-trivial isometric deformations with infinite dimensional freedom. …

We give a variational proof of the existence and uniqueness of a convex cap with the given upper boundary. The proof uses the concavity of the total scalar curvature functional on the space of generalized convex caps. As a byproduct, we prove that generalized convex caps with the fixed boundary are globally rigid, that…

In the paper we consider the following conjecture: if a finite group GG possesses a solvable ππ-Hall subgroup HH, then there exist elements x,y,z,tGx,y,z,t\in G such that the identity HHxHyHzHt=Oπ(G)H\cap H^x\cap H^y\cap H^z\cap H^t=O_π(G) holds. The minimal counter example is shown to be an almost simple group of Lie type.

We show that there is a well-defined cap-product structure on the Fintushel-Stern spectral sequence. Hence we obtain the induced cap-product structure on the ${\BZ}_8$-graded instanton Floer homology. The cap-product structure provides an essentially new property of the instanton Floer homology, from a topological poin…

Let MM be a smooth closed 4k4k-manifold whose Yamabe invariant Y(M)Y(M) is nonpositive. We show that Y(MlHPkmHPkˉ)=Y(M),Y(M\sharp l \Bbb HP^k\sharp m \bar{\Bbb HP^k})=Y(M), where l,ml,m are nonnegative integers, and HPk\Bbb HP^k is the quaternionic projective space. When k=4k=4, we also have $$Y(M\sharp l CaP^2\sharp m \bar{CaP^2})=Y(M),…

An important class of contact 3--manifolds are those that arise as links of rational surface singularities with reduced fundamental cycle. We explicitly describe symplectic caps (concave fillings) of such contact 3--manifolds. As an application, we present a new obstruction for such singularities to admit rational homo…
