We show that closed, connected 4-manifolds up to connected sum with copies of the complex projective plane are classified in terms of the fundamental group, the orientation character and an extension class involving the second homotopy…

We show that an odd dimensional closed manifold with positive curvature cannot contain an incompressible real projective plane in the sense that there is no map of the projective plane into the manifold which is nontrivial on both first and…

The purpose of this article is to give an interpretation of real projective structures and associated cohomology classes in terms of connections, sections, etc. satisfying elliptic partial differential equations in the spirit of Hodge…

We construct an injective map from the set of holomorphic equivalence classes of neighborhoods $M$ of a compact complex manifold $C$ into ${\mathbb C}^m$ for some $m<\infty$ when $(TM)|_C$ is fixed and the normal bundle of $C$ in $M$ is…

In this paper we compute the mapping class group of simply-connected closed smooth manifolds $M$ with integral homology $H_{*}(M) \cong \mathbb Z \oplus \mathbb Z \oplus \mathbb Z$ provided that $\dim M \ne 4$.

A map between connected $2$-manifolds has a geometric kernel if it sends a non-contractible simple loop to a null-homotopic loop. While every non-$\pi_1$-injective map between compact surfaces admits a geometric kernel, this generally fails…

Closed (and simply-connected) manifolds whose dimensions are greater than 4 are classified via sophisticated algebraic and abstract theory such as surgery theory and homotopy theory. It is difficult to handle 3 or 4-dimensional closed…

Answering a problem raised by Lazarsfeld, Hwang and Mok proved that a surjective holomorphic map from a rational homogeneous space of Picard number 1 onto projective manifold different from projective space must be a biholomorphism. THe aim…

This is the second of a series of papers which are devoted to a comprehensive theory of maps between orbifolds. In this paper, we develop a basic machinery for studying homotopy classes of such maps. It contains two parts: (1) the…

The paper studies the deformation theory of a holomorphic surjective map from a normal compact complex space to a compact Kaehler manifold and describes the component of the space of holomorphic maps, generalizing results in the projective…

The primary goal of this paper is to find a homotopy theoretic approximation to moduli spaces of holomorphic maps Riemann surfaces into complex projective space. There is a similar treatment of a partial compactification of these moduli…

We construct a real combinatorial model for the configuration spaces of points of compact smooth oriented manifolds without boundary. We use these models to show that the real homotopy type of configuration spaces of a simply connected such…

This is a written-up version of eight introductory lectures to the Hodge theory of projective manifolds. The table of contents should be self-explanatory. The only exception is section 8 where I discuss, in a simple example, a technique for…

The existence of some complex geometrical structures on a compact manifold such as complex structures, Kaehler (pseudo-Kaehler) structures often impose certain restrictions on its underling topological or differentiable manifold. In this…

We study the homotopy of the connected sum of a manifold with a projective space, viewed as a typical way to stabilize manifolds. In particular, we show a loop homotopy decomposition of a manifold after stabilization by a projective space,…

We prove that a holomorphic projective connection on a complex projective threefold is either flat, or it is a translation invariant holomorphic projective connection on an abelian threefold. In the second case, a generic translation…

For any smooth projective variety with holomorphic locally homogeneous structure modelled on a homogeneous algebraic variety, we determine all the subvarieties of it which develop to the model.

We introduce the notion of tight homomorphism into a locally compact group with nonvanishing bounded cohomology and study these homomorphisms in detail when the target is a Lie group of Hermitian type. Tight homomorphisms between Lie groups…

A classical result in complex geometry says that the automorphism group of a manifold of general type is discrete. It is more generally true that there are only finitely many surjective morphisms between two fixed projective manifolds of…

Morse functions with exactly two singular points on homotopy spheres and canonical projections of spheres are generalized as special generic maps. A special generic map is, roughly, a smooth map represented as the composition of a smooth…
