This paper investigates the moment-angle manifolds whose cohomology ring is isomorphic to that of a connected sum of sphere products. We first give a example of moment-angle manifolds corresponding to a 4 dimentional simplicial polytope. It…

The paper is devoted to the well-known problem of smooth structures on moment-angle manifolds. Each real or complex moment-angle manifold has an equivariant smooth structure given by an intersection of quadrics corresponding to a geometric…

For a family of polytopes of even dimension $2p$, known as \textit{dual-neighborly}, it has been shown for $p\ne 2$ that the associated intersection of quadrics is a connected sum of sphere products $S^p\times S^p$. In this article we give…

These are notes of the lectures given during the Toric Topology Workshop at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in February 2010. We describe several approaches to moment-angle manifolds and complexes, including the…

We show that a moment-angle manifold associated to a neighbourly triangulation of an odd dimensional sphere is homotopy equivalent to a connected sum of products of two spheres, resolving a problem of Buchstaber and Panov. The methods are…

We answer a problem posed by Panov, which is to describe the relationship between the wedge summands in a homotopy decomposition of the moment-angle complex corresponding to a disjoint union of k points and the connected sum factors in a…

Fan, Chen, Ma and Wang constructed a moment-angle manifold $Z_K$ whose cohomology ring is isomorphic to that of a connected sum of sphere products with one product of three spheres. In this paper, we show that they are actually…

We generalize the first author's construction of intersection spaces to the case of stratified pseudomanifolds of stratification depth 1 with twisted link bundles, assuming that each link possesses an equivariant Moore approximation for a…

We construct a family of manifolds, one for each $n\geq 2$, having a nontrivial Massey $n$-product in their cohomology. These manifolds turn out to be smooth closed 2-connected manifolds with a compact torus action called moment-angle…

We construct new examples of contact manifolds in arbitrarily large dimensions. These manifolds which we call quasi moment-angle manifolds, are closely related to the classical moment-angle manifolds.

We study the intersection theory of punctured pseudoholomorphic curves in $4$-dimensional symplectic cobordisms. We first study the local intersection properties of such curves at the punctures. We then use this to develop topological…

Toric topology emerged in the end of the 1990s on the borders of equivariant topology, algebraic and symplectic geometry, combinatorics and commutative algebra. It has quickly grown up into a very active area with many interdisciplinary…

Each lens space has a canonical contact structure which lifts to the distribution of complex lines on the three-sphere. In this paper, we show that a symplectic homology cobordism between two lens spaces, which is given with the canonical…

We construct open book structures on all moment-angle manifolds and describe the topology of their leaves and bindings under certain restrictions. II. We also show, using a recent deep result about contact forms due to Borman, Eliashberg…

In diverse physical systems stable oscillatory solutions devolve into more complicated dynamical behaviour through border-collision bifurcations. Mathematically these occur when a stable fixed point of a piecewise-smooth map collides with a…

We prove that the moment-angle complex $\mathcal Z_K$ corresponding to a 3-dimensional simplicial sphere $K$ has the cohomology ring isomorphic to the cohomology ring of a connected sum of products of spheres if and only if either (a) $K$…

For every finite collection of curves on a surface, we define an associated (semi-)norm on the first homology group of the surface. The unit ball of the dual norm is the convex hull of its integer points. We give an interpretation of these…

The stable and unstable manifolds of an invariant set of a piecewise-smooth map are themselves piecewise-smooth. Consequently, as parameters of a piecewise-smooth map are varied, an invariant set can develop a homoclinic connection when its…

In this article, we construct countably many mutually non-isotopic diffeomorphisms of some closed non simply-connected 4-manifolds that are homotopic to but not isotopic to the identity, by surgery along $\Theta$-graphs. As corollaries of…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed smooth 6-manifold N to be diffeomorphic to a product of a surface F and a simply connected 4-manifold M in terms of basic invariants like the fundamental group and cohomological data.…
