Let X, Y, and Z be topological modules over a topological ring $R$. In the first part of the paper, we introduce three different classes of bounded bigroup homomorphisms from $X\times Y$ into $Z$ with respect to the three different uniform…

It is well known that the cohomology of a tensor product is essentially the tensor product of the cohomologies. We look at twisted tensor products, and investigate to which extend this is still true. We give an explicit description of the…

A graph is said to be well-edge-dominated if all its minimal edge dominating sets are minimum. It is known that every well-edge-dominated graph $G$ is also equimatchable, meaning that every maximal matching in $G$ is maximum. In this paper,…

We prove that for any closed, connected, oriented 3-manifold M, there exists an infinite family of 2-fold branched covers of M that are hyperbolic 3-manifolds and surface bundles over the circle with arbitrarily large volume.

A manifold $M$ is said to be a double disk bundle if it can be decomposed as a union of two disk bundles glued together by a diffeomorphism of their boundaries. We show that if $M^n$ is a closed simply connected $n$-manifold with $n$ even…

We prove that if a prime 3-manifold M is not finitely covered by the 3-sphere or a product manifold, then M is virtually chiral, i.e. it has a finite cover that does not admit an orientation reversing self-homeomorphism. In general if a…

As separable states are a convex combination of product states, the geometry of the manifold of product states is studied. Prior results by Sanpera, Vidal and Tarrach are extended. Furthermore, it is proven that states in the set tangent to…

We characterize the quasiprojective groups that appear as fundamental groups of compact $3$-manifolds (with or without boundary). We also characterize all closed $3$-manifolds that admit good complexifications. These answer questions of…

We construct branched double coverings by certain direct products of manifolds for connected sums of copies of sphere bundles over the 2-sphere. As an application we answer a question of Kotschick and Loeh up to dimension five. More…

A trisection of a smooth, closed, oriented 4-manifold is a decomposition into three 4-dimensional 1-handlebodies meeting pairwise in 3-dimensional 1-handlebodies, with triple intersection a closed surface. The fundamental groups of the…

A Seifert manifold is a 3-dimensional manifold with a circle action. It is a circle bundle (with singularities) over a 2-dimensional orbifold. In this note, we discuss a generalized Seifert manifolds. By definition, they have bundle-like…

Manifolds with boundary and with corners form categories ${\bf Man}\subset{\bf Man^b}\subset{\bf Man^c}$. A manifold with corners $X$ has two notions of tangent bundle: the tangent bundle $TX$, and the b-tangent bundle ${}^bTX$. The usual…

We consider monopoles with singularities of Dirac type on quasiregular Sasakian three-folds fibering over a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$, for example the Hopf fibration $S^3\longrightarrow S^2$. We show that these correspond to…

We study the complexity of birational self-maps of a projective threefold $X$ by looking at the birational type of surfaces contracted. These surfaces are birational to the product of the projective line with a smooth projective curve. We…

The aim is the theorems of the title and the corollary that the tensor product of two free crossed resolutions of groups or groupoids is also a free crossed resolution of the product group or groupoid. The route to this corollary is through…

Some properties of non-orientable 3-manifolds are shown. The semi-group of cobordism of immersions of surfaces in such manifolds is computed and proven actually to be a group. Explicit invariants are provided.

We have proved in [Topology, 45 1 (2006)] that fundamental groups of oriented geometrizable 3-manifolds have a solvable conjugacy problem. We now consider the case of groups of non-oriented geometrizable 3-manifolds in order to conclude…

A 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with a tensor structure of type $(1,1)$, whose third power is the identity, is considered. This structure and the metric have circulant matrices with respect to some basis, i.e., these structures…

A topological space is called self-covering if it is a nontrivial cover of itself. We prove that, under mild assumptions, a closed self-covering manifold with an abelian fundamental group fibers over a torus in various senses. As a…

In this paper, we show that the projection of a dualistic structure defined on a twisted product manifold induces dualistic structures on the base and the fiber manifolds, and conversely. Then under some conditions on the Ricci curvature…
