Working at the prime $2$, Curtis conjecture predicts that, in positive dimensions, spherical classes in $H_*QS^0$ only arise from Hopf invariant one and Kervaire invariant one elements. Eccles conjecture states that, in positive…
The notion of the geometrical $\Z/2 \oplus \Z/2$--control of self-intersection of a skew-framed immersion and the notion of the $\Z/2 \oplus \Z/4$-structure (the cyclic structure) on the self-intersection manifold of a $\D_4$-framed…
A solution to the Kervaire invariant problem is presented. We introduce the concepts of abelian structure on skew-framed immersions, bicyclic structure on $\Z/2^{[3]}$--framed immersions, and quaternionic-cyclic structure on…
We prove that the element $h_6^2$ is a permanent cycle in the Adams spectral sequence. As a result, we establish the existence of smooth framed manifolds with Kervaire invariant one in dimension 126, thereby resolving the final case of the…
The (4k+2)-dimensional Kervaire manifold is a closed, piecewise linear (PL) manifold with Kervaire invariant 1 and the same homology as the product of two (2k+1)-dimensional spheres. We show that a finite group of odd order acts freely on a…
We introduce a class of minimal submanfolds $M^n$, $n\geq 3$, in spheres $\mathbb{S}^{n+2}$ that are ruled by totally geodesic spheres of dimension $n-2$. If simply-connected, such a submanifold admits a one-parameter associated family of…
We show that Kervaire invariant one elements in the homotopy groups of spheres exist only in dimensions at most 126. By Browder's Theorem, this means that smooth framed manifolds of Kervaire invariant one exist only in dimensions 2, 6, 14,…
We show that if we suppose n>3 and the (2n-1)-stem in the stable homotopy groups of spheres has no 2-torsion, then the Whitehead squares of the identity maps of (2n+1) and (4n+3)-spheres are divisible by 2. Applying the result of G. Wang…
Morita showed that for each power of the Euler class, there are examples of flat $\mathbb{S}^1$-bundles for which the power of the Euler class does not vanish. Haefliger asked if the same holds for flat odd-dimensional sphere bundles. In…
For each $n\ge5$, we give an $S_n$-equivariant basis for $H_4(\overline{\mathcal{M}_{0,n}},\mathbb{Q})$, as well as for $H_{2(n-5)}(\overline{\mathcal{M}_{0,n}},\mathbb{Q})$. Such a basis exists for…
An approach by J.Wu describes homotopy groups $\pi_{n}(S^2)$ of the standard 2-sphere as isotopy classes of spherical $n+1$--strand Brunnian braids is investigated in the case $n=3$ for applications.
For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $q\in [0,1[$, the Vaksman-Soibelman quantum sphere $S^{2n+1}_q$ is described by an associative algebra $\mathcal{A}(S^{2n+1}_q)$ deforming the algebra of polynomial functions on the 2n+1 dimensional unit sphere. Its…
After recent work of Hill, Hopkins, and Ravenel on the Kervaire invariant one problem, as well as Adams' solution of the Hopf invariant one problem, an immediate consequence of Curtis conjecture is that the set of spherical classes in…
It is proved that there exists an integer $L$ such that a framed manifold of dimension $2^l-2$, $l\le L$ has the trivial Kervaire Invariant.
This note is about spherical classes in $H_*Q_0S^0$. A conjecture, due to Ed. Curtis, predicts that only Hopf invariant one and Kervaire invariant one elements will give rise to spherical classes in $H_*Q_0S^0$. Yet, there has been no proof…
We consider the role of the Kervaire--Milnor invariant in the classification of closed, connected, spin 4-manifolds, typically denoted by $M$, up to stabilisation by connected sums with copies of $S^2 \times S^2$. This stable classification…
We study closed, connected, spin 4-manifolds up to stabilisation by connected sums with copies of $S^2 \times S^2$. For a fixed fundamental group, there are primary, secondary and tertiary obstructions, which together with the signature…
The Kervaire Invariant 1 Problem until recently was an open problem in algebraic topology. Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel theorem clams a negative solution of the problem for all dimensions $n=2^l-2$, $l \ge 8$. We prove the statement of…
We calculate the stable pair theory of a projective surface $S$. For fixed curve class $\beta\in H^2(S)$ the results are entirely topological, depending on $\beta^2$, $\beta.c_1(S)$, $c_1(S)^2$, $c_2(S)$, $b_1(S)$ \emph{and} invariants of…
For every relation $R$ between Stiefel-Whitney numbers of closed $(n+1)$-manifolds we consider an associated invariant $\varkappa_R$ of null-cobordant $n$-manifolds with a certain additional structure. For $n=2k-1$ and $R = w_{n+1}+v_k^2$…
