A Bott manifold is a closed smooth manifold obtained as the total space of an iterated $\C P^1$-bundle starting with a point, where each $\C P^1$-bundle is the projectivization of a Whitney sum of two complex line bundles. A…

A real Bott manifold is the total space of a sequence of $\R P^1$ bundles starting with a point, where each $\R P^1$ bundle is projectivization of a Whitney sum of two real line bundles. A real Bott manifold is a real toric manifold which…

A real Bott manifold is the total space of iterated RP^1 bundles starting with a point, where each RP^1 bundle is projectivization of a Whitney sum of two real line bundles. We prove that two real Bott manifolds are diffeomorphic if their…

When the cohomology ring of a generalized Bott manifold with $\mathbb{Q}$-coefficient is isomorphic to that of a product of complex projective spaces $\mathbb{C}P^{n_i}$, the generalized Bott manifold is said to be $\mathbb{Q}$-trivial. We…

We show that the strong cohomological rigidity conjecture for Bott manifolds is true. Namely, any graded cohomology ring isomorphism between two Bott manifolds is induced by a diffeomorphism.

A torus manifold is a closed smooth manifold of dimension $2n$ having an effective smooth $T^n = (S^1)^n$-action with non-empty fixed points. Petrie \cite{petrie:1973} has shown that any homotopy equivalence between a complex projective…

The cohomological rigidity problem for toric manifolds asks whether the cohomology ring of a toric manifold determines the topological type of the manifold. In this paper, we consider the problem with the class of one-twist Bott manifolds…

A Bott tower is an iterated $\CP ^1$-bundle over a point, where each $\CP ^1$-bundle is the projectivization of a rank $2$ decomposable complex vector bundle. For a Bott tower, the filtered cohomology is naturally defined. We show that…

We investigate when two generalized real Bott manifolds of height 2 have isomorphic cohomology rings with Z/2 coefficients and also when they are diffeomorphic. It turns out that cohomology rings with Z/2 coefficients do not distinguish…

We completely characterize real Bott manifolds up to affine diffeomorphism in terms of three simple matrix operations on square binary matrices obtained from strictly upper triangular matrices by permuting rows and columns simultaneously.…

If $B$ is a toric manifold and $E$ is a Whitney sum of complex line bundles over $B$, then the projectivization $P(E)$ of $E$ is again a toric manifold. Starting with $B$ as a point and repeating this construction, we obtain a sequence of…

We show that three- and four-stage Bott manifolds are classified up to diffeomorphism by their integral cohomology rings. In addition, any cohomology ring isomorphism between two three-stage Bott manifolds can be realized by a…

A Bott manifold is a smooth projective toric variety having an iterated $\mathbb{C} P^1$-bundle structure. A certain family of Bott manifolds is used to understand the structure of Bott--Samelson varieties (or…

A real Bott manifold is the total space of an iterated $\RP ^1$-bundles over a point, where each $\RP^1$-bundle is the projectivization of a Whitney sum of two real line bundles. In this paper, we characterize real Bott manifolds which…

Let f: M -> N be an even codimensional immersion between smooth manifolds. We derive an explicit formula for the Pontrjagin numbers and signature of the multiple point manifolds in terms of singular cohomology of M and N, the maps induced…

We prove that if there exists a $c_1$-preserving graded ring isomorphism between integral cohomology rings of two Fano Bott manifolds, then they are isomorphic as toric varieties. As a consequence, we give an affirmative answer to McDuff's…

This paper studies the interaction of $\pi_1(M)$ for a $C^\infty$ manifold $M$ with Bott's original obstruction to integrability, and with differential geometric invariants such as Godbillon-Vey and Cheeger-Simons invariants of a foliation.…

We examine several classes of manifolds which have the same cohomology ring as an Eschenburg space (a family of biquotients which is a main source of manifolds with positive curvature). One family are the 3-sphere bundles over CP^2. Another…

Let $C_2$ denote the cyclic group of order two. Given a manifold with a $C_2$-action, we can consider its equivariant Bredon $RO(C_2)$-graded cohomology. In this paper, we develop a theory of fundamental classes for equivariant submanifolds…

We prove that if two closed, connected, regular cosymplectic manifolds have isomorphic groups of cosymplectomorphisms (as topological groups), then the underlying manifolds are diffeomorphic. The proof proceeds by characterizing the Reeb…
