We prove an analogue of the Madsen-Weiss theorem for high dimensional manifolds. For example, we explicitly describe the ring of characteristic classes of smooth fibre bundles whose fibres are connected sums of g copies of S^n x S^n, in the…

This paper studies the associativity of gluing of trajectories in Morse theory. We show that the associativity of gluing follows from of the existence of compatible manifold with face structures on the compactified moduli spaces. Using our…

The arboricity of a discrete 2-sphere is always 3. The arboricity of any other discrete 2-dimensional surface is always 4. For d-manifolds of dimension larger than 2, the arboricity can be arbitrary large and must be larger than d.

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$. Associated to any (1-dimensional, commutative) formal group law of finite height $n$ over $k$ there is a complex oriented cohomology theory represented by a spectrum denoted $E(n)$ and…

Let $M$ be a closed spin manifold which supports a positive scalar curvature metric. The set of concordance classes of positive scalar curvature metrics on $M$ forms an abelian group $P(M)$ after fixing a positive scalar curvature metric.…

We consider the curve graph in the cases where it is not a Farey graph, and show that its Gromov boundary is linearly connected. For a fixed center point c and radius r, we define the sphere of radius r to be the induced subgraph on the set…

The Pontryagin-Thom theorem gives an isomorphism between the cobordism group of framed $n$-dimensional manifolds, $\omega_n$, and the $n^{th}$ stable homotopy group of the sphere spectrum, $\pi_n(\mathbb{S})$. The equivariant analogue of…

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 give bounds for the cohomology of constructible sheaves on the moduli stacks M_{g,n} over the complex field. This enables us recover Harer's bound for the virtual cohomological dimension of the associated mapping class groups as well the…

Working over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $0$, we show that the motivic stable homotopy groups of the sphere spectrum can be determined entirely from the motivic homotopy groups of the $p$-completed sphere spectra and…

We consider unbranched Willmore surfaces in the Euclidean space that arise as inverted complete minimal surfaces with embedded planar ends. Several statements are proven about upper and lower bounds on the Morse Index - the number of…

Fluctuation spectra of fluid compound membrane systems are calculated. The systems addressed contain two (or more) almost parallel membranes that are connected by harmonic tethers or by a continuous, harmonic confining potential.…

We introduce a new topological invariant, which is a nonnegative integer, of compact manifolds with boundaries associated with a kind of decomposition of them. Let M and N be m-dimensional compact connected manifolds with boundaries. The…

For each integer q>0 there is a cohomology theory such that the zero cohomology group of a manifold N of dimension n is a certain group of cobordism classes of proper fold maps of manifolds of dimension n+q into N. We prove a splitting…

Local Morse cohomology associates cohomology groups to isolating neighborhoods of gradient flows of Morse functions on (generally non-compact) Riemannian manifolds $M$. We show that local Morse cohomology is a module over the cohomology of…

We study the spectra of mixed graphs about its Hermitian adjacency matrix of the second kind (i.e. N-matrix) introduced by Mohar [1]. We extend some results and define one new Hermitian adjacency matrix, and the entry corresponding to an…

We prove a coherence theorem for invertible objects in a symmetric monoidal category. This is used to deduce associativity, skew-commutativity, and related results for multi-graded morphism rings, generalizing the well-known versions for…

Energy minimizing harmonic maps between manifolds are known to be smooth outside a rectifiable set of codimension $3$, called the singular set. The possibility that this set is not a manifold, but has arbitrarily many small gaps in it, is…

The mod 2 Moore spectrum $C(2)$ is the cofiber of the self-map $2: \mathbb{S} \to \mathbb{S}$. Building on work of Burklund, Hahn, and Senger, we prove that above a line of slope $\frac{1}{5}$, the Adams spectral sequence for $C(2)$…

This note presents a procedure of constructing a higher dimensional sphere map from a lower dimensional one and gives an explicit formula for smooth sphere map with a given degree. As an application a new proof of a generalized…
