In this paper, we discuss relations among several invariants of 3-manifolds including Meyer's function, the eta-invariant, the von Neumann rho-invariant and the Casson invariant from the viewpoint of the mapping class group of a surface.
This is the first comprehensive introduction to the authors' recent attempts toward a better understanding of the global concepts behind spinor representations of surfaces in 3-space. The important new aspect is a quaternionic-valued…
We prove the existence of metrics with prescribed $Q$-curvature under natural assumptions on the sign of the prescribing function and the background metric. In the dimension four case, we also obtain existence results for curvature forms…
All possible action functionals on the space of surfaces in ${\bf R}^4$ that depend only on first and second derivatives of the functions, entering the equation of the surface, and satisfy the condition of invariance with respect to rigid…
We present explicit algorithms for simplifying the topology of indefinite fibrations on 4-manifolds, which include broken Lefschetz fibrations and indefinite Morse 2-functions. The algorithms consist of sequences of moves, which modify…
We derive a formula for the $\bar\mu$-invariant of a Seifert fibered homology sphere in terms of the eta-invariant of its Dirac operator. As a consequence, we obtain a vanishing result for the index of certain Dirac operators on plumbed…
In this paper, we investigate properties of orbits of Hermann actions as submanifolds without assuming the commutability of involutions which define Hermann actions. In particular, we compute the second fundamental form of orbits of Hermann…
A smooth embedding of a closed $3$-manifold $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$ may generically be composed with projection to the fourth coordinate to determine a Morse function on $M$ and hence a Heegaard splitting $M=X\cup_\Sigma Y$. However, starting…
We establish a link between the behavior of length functions on Teichm\"uller space and the geometry of certain anti de Sitter 3-manifolds. As an application, we give new purely anti de Sitter proofs of results of Teichm\"uller theory such…
The Teichmueller polynomial of a fibered 3-manifold plays a useful role in the construction of mapping class having small stretch factor. We provide an algorithm that computes this polynomial of the fibered face associated to a…
A theory of signatures for odd-dimensional links in rational homology spheres is studied via their generalized Seifert surfaces. The jump functions of signatures are shown invariant under appropriately generalized concordance and a special…
We establish a framework for fiberwise symmetrization to find a lower bound of a Dirichlet-type energy functional in a variational problem on a fibred Riemannian manifold, and use it to prove a comparison theorem of the first eigenvalue of…
In this paper we review some results on the Riemannian and almost Hermitian geometry of twistor spaces of oriented Riemannian $4$-manifolds with emphasis on their curvature properties.
This article arose from a series of three lectures given at the Banach Center, Warsaw, during period of 24 March to 13 April, 2003. Morse functions are useful tool in revealing the geometric formation of its domain manifolds $M$. They…
The questions when two Morse function on closed manifolds are conjugated is investigated. Using the handle decompositions of manifolds the condition of conjugation is formulated. For each Morse function on 3-manifold the ordered generalized…

The work studies some Difference equations, which are connected with Mejer's function.
In this paper we examine the topology of manifolds equipped with a local quaternionic toric action modeled on the regular representation of the quaternionic torus $Q^n=(S^3)^n$. Building on our previous work, where the toric, differential…

We determine all pairs $(f,g)$ of meromorphic functions that share four pairs of values $(a_\nu,b_\nu)$, $1\le\nu\le 4$, and a fifth pair $(a_5,b_5)$ under some mild additional condition.
