Study spherical T-duality and Massey products in iterated sphere bundles.
We consider a family of Kähler structures on products of 2-spheres, arising from complex Bott manifolds. These are obtained via iterated -bundle constructions, generalizing the classical Hirzebruch surfaces. We show that the resulting Kähler structures all have identical Chern classes. We construct Bott di…
Consider cotangent bundles of exotic spheres, with their canonical symplectic structure. They admit automorphisms which preserve the part at infinity of one fibre, and which are analogous to the square of a Dehn twist. Pursuing that analogy, we show that they have infinite order up to isotopy (inside the group of all a…
Study on Higgs bundles and hyperpolygon spaces using Hitchin metrics.
We give short proofs of the following two facts: Iterated principal circle bundles are precisely the nilmanifolds. Every iterated circle bundle is almost flat, and hence diffeomorphic to an infranilmanifold.
We prove that all smooth sphere bundles that admit fiberwise 1/4-pinched metrics are induced bundles of vector bundles, so their structure groups reduce from the diffeomorphism group of the sphere to the orthogonal group. This result implies the existence of many smooth n-sphere bundles over a k-sphere that do not supp…
Sphere bundles over 4-manifolds are trivial after looping, except for two cases.
The study finds quasi-Einstein metrics on sphere bundles.
In this paper we investigate what kind of manifolds arise as the total spaces of iterated -bundles. A real Bott tower studied in \cite{CMO}, \cite{KM} and \cite{KN} is an example of an iterated -bundle. We show that the total space of an iterated -bundle is homeomorphic to an infra-nilmanifold. A real Bo…
The paper defines a new structure on tangent sphere bundles and characterizes their properties.
Even-dimensional simply connected manifolds that are rational homology spheres and double disk bundles are homeomorphic to spheres.
We construct a metrical framed structure on the tensor bundle of a Riemannian manifold equipped with a Cheeger-Gromoll type metric and by restricting this structure to the tensor sphere bundle, we obtain an almost metrical paracontact structure on the tensor sphere bundle. Moreover, we show that the tensor sphere bundl…

Using the higher analytic torsion form of Bismut and Lott we construct a characteristic class for smooth sphere bundles. We calculate this class in the case where the sphere bundle comes from a complex vector bundle. Related to these characteristic classes we define nontrivial continuous group cohomology classes of the…
We consider trivializations of second iterated bundles of a Lie group that preserve lifted group structures. With such a trivialization, we elaborate Hamiltonian dynamics on cotangent, Lagrangian dynamics on tangent bundles and, both Hamiltonian and Lagrangian dynamics on Tulczyjew's symplectic space which is tangent o…
We study the Ricci iteration for homogeneous metrics on spheres and complex projective spaces. Such metrics can be described in terms of modifying the canonical metric on the fibers of a Hopf fibration. When the fibers of the Hopf fibration are circles or spheres of dimension 2 or 7, we observe that the Ricci iteration…

Generalizes Hopf degree theorem to nontrivial bundles.
Paper constructs a cohomology class related to McDuff's secondary class, proving it transgresses to the Euler class of foliated sphere bundles.
In this paper, we construct round fold maps or stable fold maps with concentric singular value sets introduced by the author on smooth bundles over spheres or bundles over more general manifolds. The class of round fold maps includes special generic maps on spheres and such maps have been constructed on smooth bundles …
We construct a co-dimension completely non-holonomic sub-bundle on the Gromoll-Meyer exotic sphere based on its realization as a base space of a Sp(2)-principal bundle with the structure group Sp(1). The same method is valid for constructing a co-dimension 3 completely non-holonomic sub-bundle on the standard 7…
Classifies smooth manifolds homotopy equivalent to sphere products
We consider double plumbings of two disk bundles over spheres. We calculate the Heegaard-Floer homology with its absolute grading of the boundary of such a plumbing. Given a closed smooth 4-manifold and a suitable pair of classes in , we investigate when this pair of classes may be represented by a config…
Constructs hyperbolic affine spheres and Calabi-Yau metrics.
In dimensions congruent to 1 modulo 4, we prove that the cotangent bundle of an exotic sphere which does not bound a parallelisable manifold is not symplectomorphic to the cotangent bundle of the standard sphere. More precisely, we prove that such an exotic sphere cannot embed as a Lagrangian in the cotangent bundle of…
Characterizes invariant contact metric structures on tangent sphere bundles of compact symmetric spaces.
New -instantons found on 3-sphere's spinor bundle.
We show, using two different approaches, that there exists a family of Riemannian metrics on the tangent bundle of a two-sphere, which induces metrics of constant curvature on its unit tangent bundle. In other words, given such a metric on the tangent bundle of a two-sphere, the Hopf map is identified with a Riemannian…
Quantizes symplectic fibrations to analyze vector bundles and metrics.
The paper proves conditions for Kähler-Einstein metrics on certain bundles.
{\it Fold maps} are fundamental tools in generalizing the theory of Morse functions and its application to studies of geometric properties of manifolds. One of the fundamental and important problems in the theory of fold maps is to construct explicit fold maps, which are often difficult. In this paper, we construct new…
Sasakian structures found on tangent sphere bundles of certain symmetric spaces.
We describe the (complex) quaternionic geometry encoded by the embeddings of the Riemann sphere, with nonnegative normal bundles.
Study on rank 2 Higgs bundles on 5-punctured sphere, proving conjecture in lowest degree.
This paper addresses Cheeger and Gromoll's question of which vector bundles admit a complete metric of nonnegative curvature, and relates their question to the issue of which sphere bundles admit a metric of positive curvature. We show that any vector bundle which admits a metric of nonnegative curvature must admit a c…

New Sasaki metrics with constant scalar curvature on sphere bundles are constructed.
We determine the curvature equations of natural metrics on tangent bundles and radius r tangent sphere bundles S_rM of a Riemannian manifold M. A family of positive scalar curvature metrics on S_rM is found, for any M with bounded sectional curvature and any chosen constant r.
