We prove several new transversality results for formal CR maps between formal real hypersurfaces in complex space. Both cases of finite and infinite type hypersurfaces are tackled in this note.

Motivated by prominent problems like the Hilali conjecture Yamaguchi--Yokura recently proposed certain estimates on the relations of the dimensions of rational homotopy and rational cohomology groups of fibre, base and total spaces in a…

A Riemannian manifold is called geometrically formal if the wedge product of any two harmonic forms is again harmonic. We classify geometrically formal compact 4-manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature. If the sectional curvature is…

We compute the rank of the fundamental group of an arbitrary connected component of the space map(X, Y) for X and Y nilpotent CW complexes with X finite. For the general component corresponding to a homotopy class f : X --> Y, we give a…

Given a fibration over the circle, we relate the eigenspace decomposition of the algebraic monodromy, the homological finiteness properties of the fiber, and the formality properties of the total space. In the process, we prove a more…

We prove that the group of homotopy classes of relative homotopy automorphisms of a simply connected finite CW-complex is finitely presented and that the rationalization map from this group to its rational analogue has a finite kernel.

Let H:(M,p)->(M',p') be a formal mapping between two germs of real-analytic generic submanifolds in C^N with nonvanishing Jacobian. Assuming M to be minimal at p and M' holomorphically nondegenerate at p', we prove the convergence of the…

We show that if a complex has free finitely generated reduced homology groups for two consecutive dimensions and trivial homology for all other dimensions, then it must have the homotopy type of a wedge of spheres of two consecutive…

We completely characterize the pairs of connected Lie groups $G > K$ such that $\mathrm{rank}(G) - \mathrm{rank}(K) = 1$ and the left action of $K$ on $G/K$ is equivariantly formal. The analysis requires us to correct and extend an existing…

Let X be a complex, rationally connected, projective manifold. We show that X admits a modification X' that contains a quasi-line, ie a smooth rational curve whose normal bundle is a direct sum of copies of O_{P^1}(1). For manifolds…

In this paper, we study formal mappings between smooth generic submanifolds in multidimensional complex space and establish results on finite determination, convergence and local biholomorphic and algebraic equivalence. Our finite…

We give a criterion under which one can obtain a good decomposition (in the sense of Malgrange) of a formal flat connection on a complex analytic or algebraic variety of arbitrary dimension. The criterion is stated in terms of the spectral…

We prove a "purity implies formality" statement in the context of the rational homotopy theory of smooth complex algebraic varieties, and apply it to complements of hypersurface arrangements. In particular, we prove that the complement of a…

An arrangement of hyperplanes is called formal, if the relations between the hyperplanes are generated by relations in codimension 2. Formality is not a combinatorial property, raising the question for a characterization for combinatorial…

We consider a smooth CR mapping $f$ from a real-analytic generic submanifold $M$ in $\bC^N$ into $\bC^N$. For $M$ of finite type and essentially finite at a point $p\in M$, and $f$ formally finite at $p$, we give a necessary and sufficient…

Let X and Y be nonsingular real algebraic varieties, dimX>dimY-1. Assume that the variety Y is malleable, compact and connected. Our main result implies that each regular map from X to Y is homotopic to a surjective regular map. The class…

We study the homotopy types of certain spaces closely related to the spaces of algebraic (rational) maps from the $m$ dimensional real projective space into the $n$ dimensional complex projective space for $2\leq m\leq 2n$ (we conjecture…

In this note we extend connectedness results to formal properties of inverse images under proper maps of Schubert varieties and of the diagonal in products of projective rational homogeneous spaces

We show that hyperplane sections of strongly formal manifolds inherit strong formality. In particular, this property holds for generalized complete intersections defined by positive line bundles with trivial first de Rham cohomology group.…

We provide various counter-examples to the long-standing so-called "Omnibus Conjecture" in Rational Homotopy Theory. That is, we show that a space with finite dimensional even-degree rational cohomology and finite dimensional spherical…
