We establish a braid of interlocking exact sequences containing the group of homotopy self-equivalences of a smooth or topological 4-manifold. The braid is computed for manifolds whose fundamental group is finite of odd order.
We prove that any two smooth h-cobordant simply-connected 4-manifolds can be obtained by taking two manifolds with boundary, one of which is contractible, and gluing them along the boundary via two different attaching maps.
We prove that a positive definite smooth four-manifold with $b_2^+ \geq 2$ and having either no 1-handles or no 3-handles cannot admit a symplectic structure.
In the second of a pair of papers, we complete the construction of Seiberg-Witten-like invariants for smooth four-manifolds equipped with broken fibrations, prove an index formula, and compute some examples.
We prove in this paper that any 4-dimensional symplectic manifold is essentially made of finitely many symplectic ellipsoids. The key tool is a singular analogue of Donaldson's symplectic hypersurfaces in irrational symplectic manifolds.
We study unirationality of actions of finite groups on Fano threefolds.
We show that a finite number of commuting diffeomorphisms with simultaneously Diophantine rotation numbers are smoothly conjugated to roations.
We prove that for all $n$, simultaneously, we can choose prime filtrations of $R/I^n$ such that the set of primes appearing in these filtrations is finite.
We study the topology and geometry of those compact Riemannian (4n)-manifolds (M,g), n > 1, with positive scalar curvature and holonomy in Sp(n)Sp(1). Up to homothety, we show that there are only finitely many such manifolds of any…
We prove:(1) the existence, for every integer n > 3, of a noncompact smooth n-dimensional topological manifold whose diffeomorphism group contains an isomorphic copy of every finitely presented group; (2) a finiteness theorem on finite…
We show that infinitely many of the simply connected 4-manifolds constructed by Levine and Lidman that do not admit PL spines actually admit topological spines.
In this paper, we use canonical transformations to collectively analytically continue the singularities of the simultaneous binary collision solutions for the collinear four- body problem in both the decoupled case and the coupled case. All…
We show that every finite inverse monoid has an idempotent-separating cover by a finite F-inverse monoid. This provides a positive answer to a conjecture of Henckell and Rhodes.
A smooth four manifold is of finite type $r$ if its Donaldson invariant satisfies D((x^2-4)^r)=0. We prove that every simply connected manifold is of finite type by using the structure of Donaldson invariants in the presence of immersed…
We prove that cohomological descent holds for finitely presented crystals on the overconvergent site with respect to proper or fppf hypercovers.
The paper was withdrawn due to a gap in the proof of Lemma 3.
We study the minimal genus problem for some smooth four-manifolds.
We give a simplified and more algebraic proof of the finiteness of the families of Calabi-Yau n-folds with non-vanishing of Yukawa-coupling over a fixed base curve and with fixed degeneration locus. We also give a generalization of this…
We study some symplectic geometric aspects of rationally connected 4-folds. As a corollary, we prove that any smooth projective 4-fold symplectic deformation equivalent to a Fano 4-fold of pseudo-index at least 2 or a rationally connected…
