Given a three-manifold with b_1=1 and a nontorsion spin^c structure, we use finite dimensional approximation to construct from the Seiberg-Witten equations two invariants in the form of a periodic pro-spectra. Various functors applied to…

Invariants for framed links in $S^3$ obtained from Chern-Simons gauge field theory based on an arbitrary gauge group (semi-simple) have been used to construct a three-manifold invariant. This is a generalization of a similar construction…

Kauffman's bracket is an invariant of regular isotopy of knots and links which since its discovery in 1985 it has been used in many different directions: (a) it implies an easy proof of the invariance of (in fact, it is equivalent to) the…

We describe the ringed-space structure of moduli spaces of jets of linear connections (at a point) as orbit spaces of certain linear representations of the general linear group. Then, we use this fact to prove that the only (scalar)…

A manifold $M^n$ inherits a labeled $n$-dimensional graph $\widetilde{M}[G^L]$ structure consisting of its charts. This structure enables one to characterize fundamental groups of manifolds, classify those of locally compact manifolds with…

We extend two results known for aspherical 3-manifolds to $PD_3$-pairs $(P,\partial{P})$ with aspherical ambient space $P$. Every such $PD_3$-pair may be assembled by attaching 1-handles to $PD_3$-pairs with aspherical; ambient space and…

One can formulate the classical Kepler problem on the Heisenberg group, the simplest sub-Riemannian manifold. We take the sub-Riemannian Hamiltonian as our kinetic energy, and our potential is the fundamental solution to the Heisenberg…

Given an special type of triangulation $T$ for an oriented closed 3-manifold $M^3$ we produce a framed link in $S^3$ which induces the same $M^3$ by an algorithm of complexity $O(n^2)$ where $n$ is the number of tetrahedra in $T$ . The…
