We study the geometry of elliptic fibrations satisfying the conditions of Step 8 of Tate's algorithm. We call such geometries F$_4$-models, as the dual graph of their special fiber is the twisted affine Dynkin diagram…

We give a classification of many closed Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover possesses a nontrivial amount of symmetry. More precisely, we consider closed Riemannian manifolds $M$ such that Isom$(\widetilde{M})$ has noncompact…

Let f: P-->W be an embedding of a compact polyhedron in a closed oriented manifold W, let T be a regular neighborhood of P in W and let C:=closure(W-T) be its complement. Then W is the homotopy push-out of a diagram C<--dT-->P. This…

We classify fibrations of abstract $3$-regular GKM graphs over $2$-regular ones, and show that all fiberwise signed fibrations of this type are realized as the projectivization of equivariant complex rank $2$ vector bundles over quasitoric…

We consider higher dimensional generalisations of normal almost contact structures, the so called f.pk-structures where parallelism spans a Lie algebra g (f.pk-g-structures). Two types of these structures are discussed. In the first case,…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semisimple Lie algebra, $\mathfrak{t}$ its Cartan subalgebra and $W$ the Weyl group. The goal of this paper is to prove an isomorphism between suitable completions of the equivariant Borel-Moore homology of certain…

In this paper, we prove that certain spherical fibrations over certain CW-complexes are stably fibre homotopy equivalent to $\mm{TOP}$-spherical fibrations (see Definition 1,1). Applying this result, we get a sufficient condition for…

We shall study the structure of hyperelliptic fibrations of genus 3, from the view point given by Catanese and Pignatelli in arXiv:math/0503294. In this part I, we shall give a structure theorem for such fibrations for the case of f : S \to…

A nonlinear splitting on a fibre bundle is a generalization of an Ehresmann connection. An example is given by the homogeneous nonlinear splitting of a Finsler function on the total manifold of a fibre bundle. We show how homogeneous…

The space of orientation-compatible almost complex structures on the six-dimensional sphere naturally contains a copy of seven-dimensional real projective space. We show that the inclusion induces an isomorphism on fundamental groups and…

An $f$-structure on a manifold $M$ is an endomorphism field $\phi$ satisfying $\phi^3+\phi=0$. We call an $f$-structure {\em regular} if the distribution $T=\ker\phi$ is involutive and regular, in the sense of Palais. We show that when a…

We investigate conditions for the extendibility of continuous algebra homomorphisms $\phi$ from the Fourier algebra $A(F)$ of a locally compact group $F$ to the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ to maps between…

We prove that every primary basic semialgebraic set is homotopy equivalent to the set of inscribed realizations (up to M\"obius transformation) of a polytope. If the semialgebraic set is moreover open, then, in addition, we prove that (up…

A pre-Lie algebroid is an anchored bundle provided with an almost Lie bracket such that the anchor is compatible with the Lie bracket of vector fields. We firstly show how most geometrical structures intensively studied in the framework of…

We introduce in this paper the contractions $\mathfrak{G}_c$ of $n$-Lie (or Filippov) algebras $\mathfrak{G}$ and show that they have a semidirect structure as their $n=2$ Lie algebra counterparts. As an example, we compute the non-trivial…

Let F be a fibration on a simply-connected base with symplectic fibre (M, \omega). Assume that the fibre is nilpotent and T^{2k}-separable for some integer k or a nilmanifold. Then our main theorem, Theorem 1.8, gives a necessary and…

We study compatible contact structures of fibered Seifert multilinks in homology 3-spheres and especially give a necessary and sufficient condition for the contact structure to be tight in the case where the Seifert fibration is positively…

It is known that an arbitrary smooth, oriented 4-manifold admits the structure of what is called a broken Lefschetz fibration. Given a broken fibration, there are certain modifications, realized as homotopies of the fibration map, that…

Given a conformally nonflat Einstein spacetime we define a fibration $P$ over it. The fibres of this fibration are elliptic curves (2-dimensional tori) or their degenerate counterparts. Their topology depends on the algebraic type of the…

The aim of this paper is to give an alternative proof of a theorem about the existence of contact structures on five-manifolds due to Geiges. This theorem asserts that simply-connected five-manifolds admit a contact structure in every…
