In relation to the 4-dimensional smooth Poincar\'e conjecture we construct a tentative invariant of homotopy 4-spheres using embedded contact homology (ECH) and Seiberg-Witten theory (SWF). But for good reason it is a constant value…

In the 1960s Arnold conjectured that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a closed connected symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ should have at least as many contractible fixed points as a smooth function on $M$ has critical points. Such a…

In this paper, we give an optimal inequality relating the relative Yamabe invariant of a certain compactification of a conformally compact Poin-car{\'e}-Einstein manifold with the Yamabe invariant of its boundary at infinity. As an…

Every smooth homotopy 4-sphere is diffeomorphic to the 4-sphere.

A Hausdorff topological semiring is called simple if every non-zero continuous homomorphism into another Hausdorff topological semiring is injective. Classical work by Anzai and Kaplansky implies that any simple compact ring is finite. We…

We present a differential geometric formulation of the Poincare problem using the calculus of moving surfaces (CMS). In this framework, an n dimensional compact hypersurface evolves under a velocity field that couples motion to the…

We give a short, simple and conceptual proof, based on spin structures, of sphere eversion: an embedded 2-sphere in $R^3$ can be turned inside out by regular homotopy. Ingredients of this eversion are seamlessly connected. We also give the…

We show that, for every compact n-dimensional manifold, n\geq 1, there is a residual subset of Diff^1(M) of diffeomorphisms for which the homoclinic class of any periodic saddle of f verifies one of the following two possibilities: Either…

An proof of Poincare Duality with local coefficients and with compact support is provided. The proof does not require Sheaf Theory or anything equivalent and is thus more accessible for the general audience.

Let $ \mathfrak{M}$ be the moduli space of torsion free $ G_2$ structures on a compact 7-manifold $ M$, and let $ \mathfrak{M}_1 \subset \mathfrak{M}$ be the $ G_2$ structures with volume($M$) $=1$. The cohomology map $ \pi^3: \mathfrak{M}…

While topologists have had possession of possible counterexamples to the smooth 4-dimensional Poincar\'{e} conjecture (SPC4) for over 30 years, until recently no invariant has existed which could potentially distinguish these examples from…

We prove that any compact K\"ahler 3-dimensional manifold which has no non-trivial complex subvarieties is a torus. This is a very special case of a general conjecture on the structure of 'simple manifolds', central in the bimeromorphic…

The simple loop conjecture for 3-manifolds states that every 2-sided immersion of a closed surface into a 3-manifold is either injective on fundamental groups or admits a compression. This can be viewed as a generalization of the Loop…

We show that any eight-dimensional oriented manifold $M$ possessing smooth circle action with exactly three fixed points has the same weight system as some circle action on $\mathbb HP^2$. It follows that Pontryagin numbers and equivariant…

We show that the SO(3) monopole cobordism formula from Feehan and Leness (2002) implies that all smooth, closed, oriented four-manifolds with $b^1=0$ and $b^+\geq 3$ and odd with Seiberg-Witten simple type satisfy the superconformal simple…

We study the topology of a complete asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein manifold such that its conformal boundary has positive Yamabe invariant. We proved that all maps from such manifold into any nonpositively curved manifold are…

We prove that an integral homology 3-sphere is S^3 if and only if it admits four periodic diffeomorphisms of odd prime orders whose space of orbits is S^3. As an application we show that an irreducible integral homology sphere which is not…

We show that every 'conveniently Hoelder' homomorphism between Lie groups in the sense of convenient differential calculus is smooth (in the convenient sense). In particular, every Lip^0 homomorphism is smooth.

We show that any diffeomorphism of a compact manifold can be C1 approximated by diffeomorphisms exhibiting a homoclinic tangency or by diffeomorphisms having a partial hyperbolic structure.

For a generic anti-canonical hypersurface in each smooth toric Fano 4-fold with rank 2 Picard group, we prove there exist three isolated rational curves in it. Moreover, for all these 4-folds except one, the contractions of generic…
