We consider a family of closed symplectic manifolds 4-manifolds which we call symplectic bielliptic surfaces and study its Lagrangian cobordism group of weakly-exact Lagrangian G-branes (that is, Lagrangians equipped with a grading, a Pin…

(Co)bordisms of manifolds and maps are fundamental and important objects in algebraic and differential topology of manifolds and related studies were started by Thom etc.. Cobordisms of Morse functions were introduced and have been studied…

We study a bordism relation for stable 3-forms on a 6-manifold, which is a binary relation on the set of closed $SL(3;\mathbb{C})$-structures on a 6-manifold via closed $G_2$-structures. Under $SO(3)$-symmetry and a co-associative condition…

A principal toric bundle $M$ is a complex manifold equipped with a free holomorphic action of a compact complex torus $T$. Such a manifold is fibered over $M/T$, with fiber $T$. We discuss the notion of positivity in fiber bundles and…

If $M$ is a compact 3-manifold whose first betti number is 1, and $N$ is a compact 3-manifold such that $\pi_1N$ and $\pi_1M$ have the same finite quotients, then $M$ fibres over the circle if and only if $N$ does. We prove that groups of…

We show that if M is a surface bundle over S^1 with fiber of genus 2, then for any integer n, M has a finite cover tilde(M) with b_1(tilde(M)) > n. A corollary is that M can be geometrized using only the `non-fiber' case of Thurston's…

Toric origami manifolds are characterized by origami templates, which are combinatorial models built by gluing polytopes together along facets. In this paper, we examine the topology of orientable toric oigami manifolds with coorientable…

We introduce an equivariant Pontrjagin-Thom construction which identifies equivariant cohomotopy classes with certain fixed point bordism classes. This provides a concrete geometric model for equivariant cohomotopy which works for any…

Motivated by fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) problems in computational topology, we consider the treewidth of a compact, connected 3-manifold $M$ defined by \[ \operatorname{tw}(M) =…

For an oriented irreducible 3-manifold M with non-empty toroidal boundary, we describe how sutured Floer homology ($SFH$) can be used to determine all fibered classes in $H^1(M)$. Furthermore, we show that the $SFH$ of a balanced sutured…

The Borel Conjecture predicts that closed aspherical manifolds are topological rigid. We want to investigate when a non-aspherical oriented connected closed manifold M is topological rigid in the following sense. If f: N --> M is an…

The signature of a surface bundle over a surface is known to be divisible by 4. It is also known that the signature vanishes if the fiber genus is less than or equal to 2 or the base genus is less than or equal to 1. In this article, we…

Extending a result of Morita, we show that all tautological classes of the moduli space of genus g curves are bounded. As an application, we obtain that for a surface bundle $E\to B$ over a closed surface, the Eulder characteristic…

The structure space S(M) of a closed topological m-manifold M classifies bundles whose fibers are closed m-manifolds equipped with a homotopy equivalence to M. We construct a highly connected map from S(M) to a concoction of algebraic…

Let $M$ be a closed, orientable, and irreducible 3-manifold with Heegaard genus two. We prove that if the fundamental group of $M$ is left-orderable then $M$ admits a co-orientable taut foliation.

We give a new construction of oriented manifolds having the boundary $\CC P^{2k+1}$ for each $k \geq 0$. The main tool is the theory of quasitoric manifolds.

We study torus bundles with affine structure groups. First, we establish a rigidity result under constraints on the first Betti numbers: If $ \text{b}_{1}(M)-\text{b}_{1}(N)=\dim M-\dim N $ holds for a torus bundle $M$ with an affine…

We construct a simple topological invariant of certain 3-manifolds, including quotients of the 3-sphere by finite groups, based on the fact that the tangent bundle of an orientable 3-manifold is trivialisable. This invariant is strong…

This is the second paper of a series that develops a bordism-theoretic point of view on orientations in enumerative geometry. The first paper is arXiv:2312.06818. This paper focuses on those applications to gauge theory that can be…

In early 1930s Seifert and Threlfall classified up to conjugacy the finite subgroups of $\mathrm{SO}(4)$, this gives an algebraic classification of orientable spherical 3-orbifolds. For the most part, spherical 3-orbifolds are Seifert…
