A cohomogeneity one manifold is a manifold with the action of a compact Lie group, whose quotient is one dimensional. Such manifolds are of interest in Riemannian geometry, in the context of nonnegative sectional curvature, as well as in…

We classify all compact simply connected biquotients of dimension 6 and 7. For each $6$-dimensional biquotient, all pairs of groups $(G,H)$ and homomorphisms $H\rightarrow G\times G$ giving rise to it are classified.

Suppose that $M$ is a connected orientable $n$-dimensional manifold and $m>2n$. If $H^i(M,\R)=0$ for $i>0$, it is proved that for each $m$ there is a monomorphism $H^m(W_n,\on{O}(n))\to H^m_{\on{cont}}(\on{Diff}M,\R)$. If $M$ is closed and…

We generalise the notion of contact manifold by allowing the contact distribution to have codimension two. There are special features in dimension six. In particular, we show that the complex structure on a three-dimensional complex contact…

For manifolds equipped with group actions, we have the following natural question: To what extent does the equivariant cohomology determine the equivariant diffeotype? We resolve this question for Hamiltonian circle actions on compact,…
