Thom-Pontrjagin constructions are used to give a computable necessary and sufficient condition when a homomorphism $\phi : H^n(L;Z)\to H^n(M;Z)$ can be realized by a map $f:M\to L$ of degree $k$ for closed $(n-1)$-connected $2n$-manifolds…

For a generic degree d smooth map f: N^n -> M^n we introduce its "transverse fundamental group" \pi(f), which reduces to \pi_1(M) in the case where f is a covering, and in general admits a monodromy homomorphism \pi(f) -> S_{|d|};…

Given a closed manifold N and a self-indexing Morse function f: N --> R with up to four distinct Morse indices, we construct a symplectic Lefschetz fibration pi: E --> C which models the complexification of f on the disk cotangent bundle,…

For studying the local topology of maps, one uses deformations which split the singularities into simpler ones while preserving the general fibres. We give conditions under which such conservation holds.

The central purpose of this article is to establish new inverse and implicit function theorems for differentiable maps with isolated critical points. One of the key ingredients is a discovery of the fact that differentiable maps with…

For a countably decomposable finite von Neumann algebra $\mathscr{R}$, we show that any choice of a faithful normal tracial state on $\mathscr{R}$ engenders the same measure topology on $\mathscr{R}$ in the sense of Nelson (J. Func. Anal.,…

In this paper we prove a single exponential upper bound on the number of possible homotopy types of the fibres of a Pfaffian map, in terms of the format of its graph. In particular we show that if a semi-algebraic set $S \subset…

We give a criterion to test geometric properties such as Whitney equisingularity and Thom's $a_f$ condition for new families of (possibly non-isolated) hypersurface singularities that "behave well" with respect to their Newton diagrams. As…

The fundamental germ is a generalization of $\pi_{1}$, first defined for laminations which arise through group actions in math.DG/0506270. In this paper, the fundamental germ is extended to any lamination having a dense leaf admitting a…

We study the Euler characteristic of the real Milnor fibres of a real analytic map, using a relation between complex monodromy and complex conjugation. We deduce the result of Coste and Kurdyka that the Euler characteristic of the link of…

The image of a finitely determined holomorphic germ $\Phi$ from $\mathbb{C}^2$ to $\mathbb{C}^3$ defines a hypersurface singularity $(X,0)$, which is in general non-isolated. We show that the diffeomorphism type of the boundary of the…

Given a finite set in a metric space, the topological analysis generalizes hierarchical clustering using a 1-parameter family of homology groups to quantify connectivity in all dimensions. The connectivity is compactly described by the…

Let X be a smooth complex affine curve, and let R be the space of right ideal classes in the ring D of differential operators on X. We introduce and study a fibration \gamma : R \to Pic(X). We relate this fibration to the corresponding one…

In this paper we study the topology of the spaces Hol(M,P{n},k) of (basepoint preserving) holomorphic maps of a given degree k from a Riemann surface M of genus g>0 into the n-th complex projective space P{n}, n>0. Using symmetric products…

Let f : (M,p)\to (M',p') be a formal biholomorphic mapping between two germs of real analytic hypersurfaces in \C^n, p'=f(p). Assuming the source manifold to be minimal at p, we prove the convergence of the so-called reflection function…

In this paper, we construct a comparison map from the topological fundamental group to the pro-\'etale fundamental group for a complex variety.

From a fibered link in the 3-sphere may be constructed a field of not everywhere tangent 2-planes; when the fibered link is the link of an isolated critical point of a map from 4-space to the plane, the plane field is essentially the field…

We give sharp conditions on a local biholomorphism $F:X \to \mathbb C^{n}$ which ensure global injectivity. For $n \geq 2$, such a map is injective if for each complex line $l \subset \mathbb C^{n}$, the pre-image $F^{-1}(l)$ embeds…

This paper is about the geometry of flip-graphs associated to triangulations of surfaces. More precisely, we consider a topological surface with a privileged boundary curve and study the spaces of its triangulations with n vertices on the…

Consider a fibration \[p:E\to S^{p-1}\] with fiber $F$. We have the following natural question: Under what conditions does this fibration admit a cross-section? Our purpose is to discuss this problem when the fibration $p$ is the Milnor…
