There is a question asking whether a handle-irreducible summand of every stable-ribbon surface-link is a unique ribbon surface-link. This question for the case of a trivial surface-link is affirmatively answered. That is, a handle-irreducible summand of every stably trivial surface-link is only a trivial 2-link. By com…

The paper defines a Chern-Simons invariant for stably trivial vector bundles and uses it to obstruct conformal immersions.

The paper verifies stable handleslide triviality of some R-links and shows many are stably equivalent.

The paper constructs infinitely many $G$-smoothings of a $G$-manifold.

We complete our recent classification of compact inner symmetric spaces with weakly complex tangent bundle by filling up a case which was left open, and extend this classification to the larger category of compact homogeneous spaces with positive Euler characteristic. We show that a simply connected compact equal rank …

New hyperbolic manifolds with diverse features created.

In this paper we exhibit infinite families of embedded tori in 4-manifolds that are topologically isotopic but smoothly distinct. The interesting thing about these tori is that they are topologically trivial in the sense that each bounds a topologically embedded solid handlebody. This implies that there are stably ribb…

For all genus g, Powell's elements generate Goeritz groups trivially.

Proves properties of Torelli Lie algebra for surfaces.

Let $K, K'$ be ribbon knottings of $n$-spheres with $1$-handles in $S^{n+2}$, $n\geq 2$. We show that if the knot quandles of these knots are isomorphic, then the ribbon knottings are stably equivalent, in the sense of Nakanishi and Nakagawa, after taking a finite number of connected sums with trivially embedded copies…

The paper constructs infinitely many stably diffeomorphic but non-homotopy equivalent manifolds.

Characterizes stably elliptic elements in Lie groups and their properties.

The structure of the Khovanov homology of $(n,m)$ torus links has been extensively studied. In particular, Marko Stosic proved that the homology groups stabilize as $m\rightarrow\infty$. We show that the Khovanov homotopy types of $(n,m)$ torus links, as constructed by Robert Lipshitz and Sucharit Sarkar, also become s…

In this paper we introduce the notion of almost flatness for (stably) relative bundles on a pair of topological spaces and investigate basic properties of it. First, we show that almost flatness of topological and smooth sense are equivalent. This provides a construction of an almost flat stably relative bundle by usin…

Proof of orientable 3-manifolds parallelizability using knot theory.

Calculates cobordism ring of stably almost complex C_p-manifolds.

Let $M$ be an exact symplectic manifold equal to a symplectization near infinity and having stably trivializable tangent bundle, and $φ$ be an exact symplectomorphism of $M$ which, near infinity, is equal to either the identity or the symplectization of a contactomorphism $\hatφ$ such that neither $\hatφ$ nor $\hatφ^2$…

The study finds stably free modules and distinct 2-complexes for large ranks.

It is shown that any handle-irreducible summand of every stable-ribbon surface-link is a unique ribbon surface-link up to equivalences, so that every stable-ribbon surface-link is a ribbon surface-link. This is a generalization of a previously observed result for a stably trivial surface-link. Two observations are give…

The monoids l_{2q+1}(Z[π]) detect s-cobordisms amongst certain bordisms between stably diffeomorphic 2q-dimensional manifolds and generalise the Wall simple surgery obstruction groups, L_{2q+1}^s(Z[π]) \subset l_{2q+1}(Z[π]). In this paper we give exact sequences which completely describe l_{2q+1}(Z[π]) as a set and wh…

We show that any $(\C ^*)^n$-invariant stably complex structure on a topological toric manifold of dimension $2n$ is integrable. We also show that such a manifold is weakly $(\C ^*)^n$-equivariantly isomorphic to a toric manifold.

We prove a coisotropic intersection result and deduce the following: 1. Lower bounds on the displacement energy of a subset of a symplectic manifold, in particular a sharp stable energy-Gromov-width inequality. 2. A stable non-squeezing result for neighborhoods of products of unit spheres. 3. Existence of a "badly sque…

We show that two closed, connected $4$-manifolds with finite fundamental groups are $\mathbb{CP}^2$-stably homeomorphic if and only if their quadratic $2$-types are stably isomorphic and their Kirby-Siebenmann invariant agrees.

New method finds non-orientable knotted surfaces in 4D.

Regular sliceness implies once-stably decomposable sliceness in symplectizations.

We construct examples of robustly transitive and stably ergodic partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms $f$ on compact $3$-manifolds with fundamental groups of exponential growth such that $f^n$ is not homotopic to identity for all $n>0$. These provide counterexamples to a classification conjecture of Pujals.

We give complete geometric invariants of cobordisms of fold maps with oriented singular set and cobordisms of even codimensional fold maps. These invariants are given in terms of cobordisms of stably framed manifolds and cobordisms of immersions with prescribed normal bundles defined by the author in his earlier works.

The notion of a (stably) decomposable fiber bundle is introduced. In low dimensions, for torus fiber bundles over a circle the notion translates into a property of elements of the special linear group of integral matrices. We give a complete characterization of the stably decomposable torus fiber bundle of fiber-dimens…

New invariant detects non-homotopy equivalent 4-manifolds.

In [D.A. Fedoseev, V.O. Manturov, A sliceness criterion for odd free knots,arXiv:1707.04923], the authors proved a sliceness criterion for odd free knots: free knots with odd chords. In the present paper we give a similar criterion for stably odd free knots. Some additional results on knot sliceness and cobordism are g…

Explicit formulas for Hattori-Stong integrability conditions and manifolds' signature properties.

Is a given map between compact topological manifolds homotopic to the projection map of a fiber bundle? In this paper obstructions to this question are introduced with values in higher algebraic K-theory. Their vanishing implies that the given map fibers stably. The methods also provide results for the corresponding un…

We study closed, oriented 4-manifolds whose fundamental group is that of a closed, oriented, aspherical 3-manifold. We show that two such 4-manifolds are stably diffeomorphic if and only if they have the same w_2-type and their equivariant intersection forms are stably isometric. We also find explicit algebraic invaria…

Stable unactivated neurons reduce expressiveness in ReLU networks.

Study on topological pseudo-isotopies of 4-manifolds, proving some cases and finding counterexamples.

In the paper \cite{wall_1}, C.T.C. Wall proved that two smooth closed simply connected 4-manifolds which are homeomorphic are in fact stably diffeomorphic. We prove a similar result which states that two smooth closed 4-manifolds satisfying certain properties are stably diffeomorphic if and only if their signatures agr…

The abstract explains counterexamples in 4-manifold topology.

Improved UIVI method shows better performance than state-of-the-art SIVI methods.

Two Heegaard Floer knot complexes are called stably equivalent if an acyclic complex can be added to each complex to make them filtered chain homotopy equivalent. Hom showed that if two knots are concordant, then their knot complexes are stably equivalent. Invariants of stable equivalence include the concordance invari…

Study stable equivalence relations on 4-manifolds, proving homotopy equivalent manifolds with abelian fundamental group are stably diffeomorphic.

We develop a new approach to the existence of time functions on Lorentzian manifolds, based on Conley's work regarding Lyapunov functions for dynamical systems. We recover Hawking's result that a stably causal admits a time function through a more general result giving the existence of a continuous function that is non…

We introduce the notion of a general cup product bundle gerbe and use it to define the Weyl bundle gerbe on T x SU(n)/T. The Weyl map from T x SU(n)/T to SU(n) is then used to show that the pullback of the basic bundle gerbe on SU(n) defined by the second two authors is stably isomorphic to the Weyl bundle gerbe as SU(…

We discuss the relationship between two analogues in a 3-manifold of the set of prime ideals in a number field. We prove that if $(K_i)_{i\in \mathbb{N}_{>0}}$ is a sequence of knots obeying the Chebotarev law in the sense of Mazur and McMullen, then $\mathcal{K}=\cup_i K_i$ is a stably generic link in the sense of Mih…

The study examines the realizability of a 4-manifold invariant for homeomorphisms.

We define a new invariant $w$ for hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibrations over closed oriented surfaces, which counts the number of Dirac braids included intrinsically in the monodromy, by using chart description introduced by the second author. As an application, we prove that two hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibrations of genu…

In the biclustering problem, we seek to simultaneously group observations and features. While biclustering has applications in a wide array of domains, ranging from text mining to collaborative filtering, the problem of identifying structure in high dimensional genomic data motivates this work. In this context, biclust…
