The object of the present paper is to study some properties of (LCS)$_n$-manifolds whose metric is Yamabe soliton. We establish some characterization of (LCS)$_n$-manifolds when the soliton becomes steady. Next we have studied some certain curvature conditions of (LCS)$_n$-manifolds admitting Yamabe solitons. Lastly we…

We consider almost $η$-Ricci solitons in $(LCS)_n$-manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions. We provide a lower and an upper bound for the norm of the Ricci curvature in the gradient case, derive a Bochner-type formula for an almost $η$-Ricci soliton and state some consequences of it on an $(LCS)_n$-manifold.

The present paper deals with the study of totally real submanifolds and $\textit{C}$-totally real submanifolds of $(LCS)_n$-manifolds with respect to Levi-Civita connection as well as quarter symmetric metric connection. It is proved that scalar curvature of $\textit{C}$-totally real submanifolds of $(LCS)_n$-manifold …

We define the class of Haken $n$--manifolds as a generalisation of Haken 3--manifolds. We prove that the interior of the universal covering of a Haken $n$--manifold is $\RR^n$, which generalises a result of Waldhausen. The techniques used allow us to provide a new proof of Waldhausen's universal cover theorem for Haken…

The purpose of the present paper is to study semi-generalized recurrent, semi-generalized Ricci recurrent and conformal Ricci soliton on (LCS)n-manifold.

We conjecture that for every dimension n not equal 3 there exists a noncompact hyperbolic n-manifold whose volume is smaller than the volume of any compact hyperbolic n-manifold. For dimensions n at most 4 and n=6 this conjecture follows from the known results. In this paper we show that the conjecture is true for arit…

Symplectic structures on graded manifolds are explored.

This paper gives a new proof of a result of Geoghegan and Mihalik which states that whenever a contractible open $n$-manifold $W$ which is not homeomorphic to $\mathbf{R}^n$ is a covering space of an $n$-manifold $M$ and either $n \geq 4$ or $n=3$ and $W$ is irreducible, then the group of covering translations injects …

Informally, ${\mathbb Z}_2^n$-manifolds are 'manifolds' with ${\mathbb Z}_2^n$-graded coordinates and a sign rule determined by the standard scalar product of their ${\mathbb Z}_2^n$-degrees. Such manifolds can be understood in a sheaf-theoretic framework, as supermanifolds can, but with significant differences, in par…

The object of the present paper is to study some types of Ricci pseudosymmetric $(LCS)_n$-manifolds whose metric is Ricci soliton. We found the conditions when Ricci soliton on concircular Ricci pseudosymmetric, projective Ricci pseudosymmetric, $W_{3}$-Ricci pseudosymmetric, conharmonic Ricci pseudosymmetric, conforma…

The object of the present paper is to study invariant submanifolds of (LCS)n-manifolds with respect to quarter symmetric metric connection. It is shown that the mean curvature of an invariant submanifold of (LCS)n-manifold with respect to quarter symmetric metric connection and Levi-Civita connection are equal. An exam…

We prove that the category of $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-manifolds has all finite products. Further, we show that a $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-manifold (resp., a $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-morphism) can be reconstructed from its algebra of global $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-functions (resp., from its algebra morphism between global $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-funct…

The present paper deals with the study of Ricci solitons on invariant and anti-invariant submanifolds of $(LCS)_n$-manifolds with respect to Riemannian connection as well as quarter symmetric metric connection.

Recently Hui et al. (\cite{HAP}, \cite{HAN}) studied contact CR-warped product submanifolds and also warped product pseudo-slant submanifolds of a $(LCS)_n$-manifold $\bar{M}$. In this paper we have studied the characterization for both these classes of warped product submanifolds. It is also shown that there do not ex…

The purpose of the present paper is to prove existence of super-exponentially many compact orientable hyperbolic arithmetic $n$-manifolds that are geometric boundaries of compact orientable hyperbolic $(n+1)$-manifolds, for any $n \geq 2$, thereby establishing that these classes of manifolds have the same growth rate w…

One proves that there exists an obstruction to an open simply connected $n$-manifold of dimension $n\geq 5$ being geometrically simply connected. In particular there exist uncountably many simply connected $n$-manifolds which are not w.g.s.c. One proves that for $n\neq 4$ an $n$-manifold proper homotopy equivalent to a…

We construct examples of nonresolvable generalized $n$-manifolds, $n\geq 6$, with arbitrary resolution obstruction, homotopy equivalent to any simply connected, closed $n$-manifold. We further investigate the structure of generalized manifolds and present a program for understanding their topology.

The paper proves a homogeneous Frobenius theorem for N-manifolds.

Spaces are classified as almost homology n-manifolds if their homology groups are trivial for all but the last dimension.

We show that although closed $\widetilde{\Bbb{SL}}\times\Bbb{E}^n$-manifolds do not admit metrics of nonpositive sectional curvature, the arguments of Farrell and Jones can be extended to show that such manifolds are topologically rigid, if $n\geq2$.

Let $N$ be a closed orientable connected $n$-manifold, $n\ge 4$. We classify embeddings of the punctured manifold $N_0$ into $\R^{2n-1}$ up to isotopy. Our result in some sense extends results of J.C. Becker -- H.H. Glover (1971) and O. Saeki (1999).

This paper describes an equivalence of the canonical category of $\mathbb N$-manifolds of degree $2$ with a category of involutive double vector bundles. More precisely, we show how involutive double vector bundles are in duality with double vector bundles endowed with a linear metric. We describe then how special sect…

In this paper, we study the global geometry of complete, constant mean curvature hypersurfaces embedded in n-manifolds. More precisely, we give conditions that imply properness of such surfaces and prove the existence of fixed size one-sided regular neighborhoods for certain constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in cer…

We show that a complete hyperbolic n-manifold has a geodesic triangulation such that the tetrahedra contained in the thick part are L-bilipschitz diffeomorphic to the standard Euclidean n-simplex, for some constant L depending only on the dimension and the constant used to define the thick-thin decomposition of M.

We show that, if the local dimension of the branch set of a discrete and open mapping $f\colon M\to N$ between $n$-manifolds is less than $(n-2)$ at a point $y$ of the image of the branch set $fB_f$, then the local monodromy of $f$ at $y$ is perfect. In particular, for generalized branched covers between $n$-manifolds …

We describe relations between hyperbolic geometry and codimension two knots or, more exactly, between varieties of conjugacy classes of discrete faithful representations of the fundamental groups of hyperbolic n-manifolds M into $\operatorname{SO}^{\circ} (n+2,1)$ and (n-1)-dimensional knots in the (n+1)-sphere. This a…

We say that a topological $n$-manifold $N$ is a cubical $n$-manifold if it is contained in the $n$-skeleton of the canonical cubulation $\mathcal{C}$ of ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+k}$ ($k\geq1$). In this paper, we prove that any closed, oriented cubical $2$-manifold has a transverse field of 2-planes in the sense of Whitehead an…

The study explores mapping degree sets and their properties for manifolds.

For each composite number $n\ne 2^k$, there does not exist a single connected closed $(n+1)$-manifold such that any smooth, simply-connected, closed $n$-manifold can be topologically flat embedded into it. There is a single connected closed 5-manifold $W$ such that any simply-connected, 4-manifold $M$ can be topologica…

We show that the set of cusp shapes of hyperbolic tunnel number one manifolds is dense in the Teichmuller space of the torus. A similar result holds for tunnel number n manifolds. As a consequence, for fixed n, there are infinitely many hyperbolic tunnel number n manifolds with at most one exceptional Dehn filling. Thi…

Two main theorems are proved in this paper. Theorem 1: There is a constant C(n, D) depending only on n and D such that for a closed Riemannian n-manifold satisfying Ric > -(n-1) and Diam < D, the ith bounded Betti number is bounded by C(n, D). Here the ith bounded Betti number is defined as the dimension of the image o…

We show that the function sheaf of a $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-manifold is a nuclear Fréchet sheaf of $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-graded $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-commutative associative unital algebras. Further, we prove that the components of the pullback sheaf morphism of a $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-morphism are all continuous. These results are essenti…

We give a homological characterization of $n$-manifolds whose universal covering $\Wi M$ has Gromov's macroscopic dimension $\dim_{mc}\Wi M<n$. As the result we distinguish $\dim_{mc}$ from the macroscopic dimension $\dim_{MC}$ defined by the author \cite{Dr}. We prove the inequality $\dim_{mc}\Wi M<\dim_{MC}\Wi M=n$ f…

We present two classical conjectures concerning the characterization of manifolds: the Bing Borsuk Conjecture asserts that every $n$-dimensional homogeneous ANR is a topological $n$-manifold, whereas the Busemann Conjecture asserts that every $n$-dimensional $G$-space is a topological $n$-manifold. The key object in bo…

A standard fact about two incompressible surfaces in an irreducible 3-manifold is that one can move one of them by isotopy so that their intersection becomes $π_1$-injective. By extending it on the maps of some 3-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_n$-manifolds into 4-manifolds, we prove that any homotopy equivalence of 4-dimensio…

The Hilbert-Smith Conjecture states that if G is a locally compact group which acts effectively on a connected manifold as a topological transformation group, then G is a Lie group. A rather straightforward proof of this conjecture is given. The motivation is work of Cernavskii (``Finite-to-one mappings of manifolds'',…
