Study Einstein metrics on aligned homogeneous spaces with maximal third Betti number.

We show that the lower bounds for Betti numbers given in math.GT/9909161 are equalities for a class of racks that includes dihedral and Alexander racks. We confirm a conjecture from the same paper by defining a splitting for the short exact sequence of quandle chain complexes. We define isomorphisms between Alexander r…

The study examines the stability of Einstein metrics on Sasaki Einstein and nearly parallel G2 manifolds.

The study classifies manifolds that can be split into two disk bundles.

In this paper we construct explicit examples of both closed and non-compact finite volume hyperbolic manifolds which provide counterexamples to the conjecture that the co-rank of a 3-manifold group (also known as the cut number) is bounded below by one-third the first Betti number.

We show that a strict, nearly Kähler $6$-manifold with either second or third Betti number nonzero is linearly unstable with respect to the $ν$-entropy of Perelman and hence is dynamically unstable for the Ricci flow.

We give explicit formulas for the ranks of the third and fourth homotopy groups of all oriented closed simply-connected four manifolds in terms of their second Betti numbers. We also show that the rational homotopy type of these manifolds is classified by their rank and signature.

Found a stable 3D shape with specific properties.

For geometries with a closed three-form we briefly overview the notion of multi-moment maps. We then give concrete examples of multi-moment maps for homogeneous hypercomplex and nearly Kaehler manifolds. A special role in the theory is played by Lie algebras with second and third Betti numbers equal to zero. These we c…

We extend the notion of multi-moment map to geometries defined by closed forms of arbitrary degree. We give fundamental existence and uniqueness results and discuss a number of essential examples, including geometries related to special holonomy. For forms of degree four, multi-moment maps are guaranteed to exist and a…

Found the smallest 4-manifold with a specific Betti number.

We provide a proof for an inequality between volume and L2-Betti numbers of aspherical manifolds for which Gromov outlined a strategy based on general ideas of Connes. The implementation of that strategy involves measured equivalence relations, Gaboriau's theory of L2-Betti numbers of R-simplicial complexes, and other …

Linear bound on Betti numbers of negatively curved orbifolds.

We show that asymptotically the first Betti number, or the arithmetic genus, of a Shimura curve satisfies the Gauss--Bonnet equality. We also show that the first Betti number of a congruence hyperbolic 3--orbifold asymptotically vanishes relatively to hyperbolic volume.

We present a rough classification of differential forms on a Riemannian manifold, we consider definitions and properties of conformal Killing forms on a compact Riemannian manifold and define Tachibana numbers as an analog of the well known Betti numbers. We state the conditions that characterize these numbers. In the …

In this paper we state and prove Morse type inequalities for Morse functions as well as for closed differential 1-forms. These inequalities involve delocalized Betti numbers. As an immediate consequence, we prove the vanishing of delocalized Betti numbers of manifolds fibering over the circle.

It is shown that the Novikov inequalities for critical points of closed 1-forms hold with the von Neumann Betti numbers replacing the Novikov numbers. As a corollary we obtain a vanishing theorem for $L^2$ cohomology, generalizing a theorem of W. Lueck. We also prove that von Neumann Betti numbers coincide with the Nov…

Study rigidifies torus bundles under first Betti number constraints.

Suppose X is any finite complex with vanishing L^2 Betti number. We prove upper bounds on the Betti numbers for regular coverings of X, sublinear in the order of covering. The bounds are sensitive to the Novikov-Shubin invariants of X, and are improved in the presence of a spectral gap.

Study connects lens spaces' fundamental group to their symplectic fillings' second Betti numbers.

Let G be an arithmetic Kleinian group, and let O be the associated hyperbolic 3-orbifold or 3-manifold. In this paper, we prove that, in many cases, G is large, which means that some finite index subgroup admits a surjective homomorphism onto a non-abelian free group. This has many consequences, including that O has in…

In arXiv:math/0508510, Rasmussen observed that the Khovanov-Rozansky homology of a link is a finitely generated module over the polynomial ring generated by the components of this link. In the current paper, we study the module structure of the middle HOMFLYPT homology, especially the Betti numbers of this module. For …

Gromov-Thurston covers have Betti numbers as expected.

We prove that every finitely presented group with positive first $\ell^2$-Betti number that virtually surjects onto $\mathbb Z$ is acylindrically hyperbolic. In particular, this implies acylindrical hyperbolicity of finitely presented residually finite groups with positive first $\ell^2$-Betti number as well as groups …

We study the convergence of volume-normalized Betti numbers in Benjamini-Schramm convergent sequences of non-positively curved manifolds with finite volume. In particular, we show that if $X$ is an irreducible symmetric space of noncompact type, $X \neq \mathbb H^3$, and $(M_n)$ is any Benjamini-Schramm convergent sequ…

We introduce a notion of moment map adapted to actions of Lie groups that preserve a closed three-form. We show existence of our multi-moment maps in many circumstances, including mild topological assumptions on the underlying manifold. Such maps are also shown to exist for all groups whose second and third Lie algebra…
