Beben and Wu showed that if $M$ is a $(2n-2)$-connected $(4n-1)$-dimensional Poincar\'{e} Duality complex such that $n\geq 3$ and $H^{2n}(M;\mathbb{Z})$ consists only of odd torsion, then $\Omega M$ can be decomposed up to homotopy as a…

We study the homotopy decompositions of the suspension $\Sigma M$ of an $(n-1)$-connected $(2n+2)$ dimensional Poincar\'{e} duality complex $M$, $n\geq 2$. In particular, we completely determine the homotopy types of $\Sigma M$ of a…

We obtain an explicit formula for the Poincare duality isomorphism H^{n-3}(Mbar(ell)) to Z/2 for the space of isometry classes of n-gons with specified side lengths, if ell is monogenic in the sense of Hausmann-Rodriguez. This has potential…

We find a necessary and sufficient condition for a doubling metric space to carry a (1,p)-Poincare inequality. The condition involves discretizations of the metric space and Poincare inequalities on graphs.

We extend constructions and results of Damian to get topological obstructions to the existence of closed monotone Lagrangian embeddings into the cotangent bundle of a space which is the total space of a fibration over the circle.

It is well-known that an n-dimensional Poincar\'{e} complex $X^n$, $n \ge 5$, has the homotopy type of a compact topological $n$-manifold if the total surgery obstruction $s(X^n)$ vanishes. The present paper discusses recent attempts to…

We show that intersection homology extends Poincare duality to manifold homotopically stratified spaces (satisfying mild restrictions). This includes showing that, on such spaces, the sheaf of singular intersection chains is…

We explore the constraints imposed by Poincar\'e duality on the resonance varieties of a graded algebra. For a 3-dimensional Poincar\'e duality algebra $A$, we obtain a fairly precise geometric description of the resonance varieties…

Let $(M,g)$ be an open, oriented and incomplete riemannian manifold of dimension $m$. Under some general conditions we show that it is possible to build a Hilbert complex $(L^2\Omega^i(M,g),d_{\mathfrak{M},i})$ such that its cohomology…

Poincare duality lies at the heart of the homological theory of manifolds. In the presence of the action of a group it is well-known that Poincare duality fails in Bredon's ordinary, integer-graded equivariant homology. We give here a…

We consider compact K\"ahlerian manifolds $X$ of even dimension 4 or more, endowed with a log-symplectic structure $\Phi$, a generically nondegenerate closed 2-form with simple poles on a divisor $D$ with local normal crossings. A simple…

We state a number of open questions on 3-dimensional Poincar\'e duality groups and their subgroups, motivated by considerations from 3-manifold topology.

In this paper we prove Poincar\'e inequalities for the Discrete de Rham (DDR) sequence on a general connected polyhedral domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^3$. We unify the ideas behind the inequalities for all three operators in the sequence,…

Let $X$ be a connected compact 3-manifold with non-empty boundary. Consider the boundary $M$ of $X\times D^2$. $M$ is a 4-dimensional closed manifold and has the same fundamental group as $X$. Various examples of $X$ are known for which a…

We give sufficient conditions for three- or four-dimensional truncated Poincare-Dulac normal forms of resonance degree two to be meromorphically nonintegrable when the Jacobian matrices have a zero and pair of purely imaginary eigenvalues…

For an integer $m\geq 1$, a combinatorial manifold $\widetilde{M}$ is defined to be a geometrical object $\widetilde{M}$ such that for $\forall p\in\widetilde{M}$, there is a local chart $(U_p,\phi_p)$ enable $\phi_p:U_p\to…

We construct periodic families of Poincare complexes, partially solving a question of Hodgson that was posed in the proceedings of the 1982 Northwestern homotopy theory conference. We also construct infinite families of Poincare complexes…

For an affine complex algebraic singular space Y, we define a global Euler obstruction Eu(Y) which extends the Euler-Poincare characteristic of a nonsingular Y. Using Lefschetz pencils, we express Eu(Y) as alternating sum of global polar…

We discuss an interesting duality known to occur for certain complex reflection groups, namely the duality groups. Our main construction yields a concrete, representation theoretic realisation of this duality. This allows us to naturally…

Dynamical properties of limit cycles in a two-dimensional max-plus dynamical system are discussed. We apply a Poincare map method to the limit cycles in order to reveal their stabilities. This method reduces the two dimensional system to a…
