We consider vector fields on knot/link complements in $S^3$ which are transverse to the fibres of a fibration of the complement over a circle. We prove that a large class of fibred knots/links, including all non-torus fibred 2-bridge knots, has the following property: any vector field transverse to the fibres of the fi…

Defines s-manifolds and s-manifolds with corners for symplectic applications.

We generalize the transgression formula for the eta form of Bismut, Cheeger and Berline, Getzler, Vergne for vertical Dirac operators on a fibre bundle with odd dimensional fibres where the Dirac operators have locally at most one eigenvalue of multiplicity one crossing zero transversally.

We answer the natural question: when are a regular Poisson structure along with a complex structure transverse to its symplectic leaves induced by generalized complex structure? The leafwise symplectic form and transverse complex structure determine an obstruction class in a certain cohomology, which vanishes if and on…

We investigate the line between tight and overtwisted for surgeries on fibred transverse knots in contact 3-manifolds. When the contact structure $ξ_K$ is supported by the fibred knot $K \subset M$, we obtain a characterisation of when negative surgeries result in a contact structure with non-vanishing Heegaard Floer c…

The paper studies Einstein-Hilbert functional and its relation to K-semistability.

New quantum code breaks distance barrier with transversal non-Clifford gates.

We show that there is a fully faithful embedding of the category of manifolds with corners into the Cahiers topos, one of the premier models for Synthetic Differential Geometry. This embedding is shown to have a number of nice properties, such as preservation of open covers and transverse fibre products. We develop a t…

Given any smooth fibration of the unit 3-sphere by great circles, we show that the distribution of 2-planes orthogonal to the great circle fibres is a tight contact structure, a fact well known in the special case of the Hopf fibrations. The proof expresses hypothesis and conclusion as differential inequalities involvi…

We define the secondary invariants L^2- eta and -rho forms for families of generalized Dirac operators on normal coverings of fibre bundles. On the covering family we assume transversally smooth spectral projections, and Novikov--Shubin invariants bigger than 3(dim B+1) to treat the large time asymptotic for general op…

Study finds lower bounds for energy on fibred manifolds using fiberwise symmetrization.

Profinite rigidity studied for algebraic fibring of groups.

Warped-product black hole spacetimes are $C^0$-inextendible.

In this note a functorial approach to the integration problem of an LA-groupoid to a double Lie groupoid is discussed. To do that, we study the notions of fibred products in the categories of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such. In particular, it turns …

No projective structure found on foliations of elliptic curves.

We introduce a differential geometric framework for describing families of quantum error-correcting codes and for understanding quantum fault tolerance. This work unifies the notion of topological fault tolerance with fault tolerance in other kinds of quantum error-correcting codes. In particular, we use fibre bundles …

It was proved by Chern, Hirzebruch and Serre that the signature of a fibre bundle is multiplicative if the fundamental group of the base acts trivially on the cohomology ring of the fibre with real coefficients, in which case the signature of the total space equals the product of the signatures of base and fibre. Hambl…

We study harmonic almost contact structures in the context of contact metric manifolds, and an analysis is carried out when such a manifold fibres over an almost Hermitian manifold, as exemplified by the Boothby-Wang fibration. Two types of almost contact metric warped products are also studied, relating their harmonic…

New hyperbolic groups exhibit unusual finiteness properties.

The paper examines metrics on foliated manifolds that have special geometric properties.

Generalized are the investigated in other works of the author transports along paths in fibre bundles to transports along arbitrary maps in them. Their structure and some properties are studied. Special attention is paid to the linear case and the case when the map's domain is a Cartesian product of two sets. Also cons…

In this paper, we investigate the behaviour of the Serre spectral sequence with respect to the algebraic structures of string topology in generalized homology theories, specificially with the Chas-Sullivan product and the corresponding coproduct and module structures. We prove compatibility for two kinds of fibre bundl…

Study shows fibred knots can't be untied with specific moves.

We construct classes of Kähler groups that do not have finite classifying spaces and are not commensurable to subdirect products of surface groups. Each of these groups is the fundamental group of the generic fibre of a holomorphic map from a product of Kodaira fibrations onto an elliptic curve.

We show that if $M = X \times Y$ is the product of two complex manifolds (of positive dimensions), then $M$ does not admit any complete Kähler metric with bisectional curvature bounded between two negative constants. More generally, a locally-trivial holomorphic fibre-bundle does not admit such a metric.

We express the signature modulo 4 of a closed, oriented, $4k$-dimensional $PL$ manifold as a linear combination of its Euler characteristic and the new absolute torsion invariant defined in Korzeniewski [11]. Let $F \to E \to B$ be a $PL$ fibre bundle, where $F$, $E$ and $B$ are closed, connected, and compatibly orient…

In this article we study the linearized anisotropic Calderon problem. In a compact manifold with boundary, this problem amounts to showing that products of harmonic functions form a complete set. Assuming that the manifold is transversally anisotropic, we show that the boundary measurements determine an FBI type transf…

Study investigates concircular curvature on warped products.

Two constructions of contact manifolds are presented: (i) products of S^1 with manifolds admitting a suitable decomposition into two exact symplectic pieces and (ii) fibre connected sums along isotropic circles. Baykur has found a decomposition as required for (i) for all closed, oriented 4-manifolds. As a corollary, w…

Study simplifies classification of foliations with specific geometric structures.

The study classifies warped products with harmonic curvature on surfaces, showing two possibilities for the metric.

Study homotopy groups in GIT quotients using transversality methods.

In this paper, we study the quasi-Einstein and generalized quasi-Einstein warped products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. We give the expressions of the Ricci tensors and scalar curvatures for the bases and fibres. In some cases we give some obstructions to the existence of the quasi-Einstein and generaliz…

Totally geodesic submanifolds in product spaces imply special curvature properties.

We classify $5$-manifolds with fundamental group $\mathbb Z$ and $π_{2}$ a finitely generated abelian group in terms of the cup product on the second cohomology of the universal covering. The classification result is applied to study simple knots $k \colon S^{3} \subset S^{5}$ and the question, which compact topologica…

The study of projective varieties with nef anticanonical divisors and log terminal singularities.

We prove some structure results for \emph{transverse reducible} Sasaki manifolds. In particular, we show Sasaki manifolds with positive Ricci curvature is transversely irreducible, and so there is no join (product) construction for irregular Sasaki-Einstein manifolds, as opposed to the quasi-regular case done by Wang-Z…

Quantizes symplectic manifolds with toric singularities using Toeplitz operators.

The Waldhausen construction of Mayer-Vietoris splittings of chain complexes over an injective generalized free product of group rings is extended to a combinatorial construction of Seifert-van Kampen splittings of CW complexes with fundamental group an injective generalized free product.

The product of smooth valuations on manifolds is described in terms of differential forms, Gelfand transforms and blow-up spaces. It is shown that the product extends partially to generalized valuations and corresponds geometrically to transversal intersections. This result is used to prove a general kinematic formula …

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a compact Hausdorff foliation on a compact manifold. Let ${E_2^{>0,\bullet}}=\oplus\{E_2^{p,q}\colon p>0,q\geq 0\}$ be the subalgebra of cohomology classes with positive transverse degree in the $E_2$ term of the spectral sequence of the foliation. We prove that the saturated transverse Lusternik-S…

New theorem extends Hadamard's to transversely affine geometry.

A Bott tower is the total space of a tower of fibre bundles with base CP^1 and fibres CP^1. Every Bott tower of height n is a smooth projective toric variety whose moment polytope is combinatorially equivalent to an n-cube. A circle action is semifree if it is free on the complement to fixed points. We show that a (qua…

Study investigates lattices fibring over the circle, focusing on BNSR invariants.

Real blow-up, including inhomogeneous versions, of boundary faces of a manifold (with corners) is an important tool for resolving singularities, degeneracies and competing notions of homogeneity. These constructions are shown to be particular cases of `generalized boundary blow-up' in which a new manifold and blow-down…

Being inspired by Ross' construction of unstable products of certain smooth curves, we show that the product $C\times C$ of every smooth curve $C$ of genus at least 2 is not slope semistable with respect to certain polarisations. Besides, we produce examples of Kodaira-fibred surfaces of nonzero signature, which are no…

The long-time existence and umbilicity estimates for compact, graphical solutions to expanding curvature flows are deduced in Riemannian warped products of a real interval with a compact fibre. Notably we do not assume the ambient manifold to be rotationally symmetric, nor the radial curvature to converge, nor a lower …
