For smooth embeddings of an integral homology 3-sphere in the 6-sphere, we define an integer invariant in terms of their Seifert surfaces. Our invariant gives a bijection between the set of smooth isotopy classes of such embeddings and the…
On the space of isometric embeddings $f_g$ of metrics $g$ on a manifold $M^n$ into the standard $(\mb{S}^{\tn=\tn(n)},\tg)$, we consider the total exterior scalar curvature $\Theta_{f_g}(M)$, and squared $L^2$ norm of the mean curvature…
Let f, g be two homotopic smooth embeddings of a closed surface in a closed oriented 5-dimensional manifold. We show that if f admits a common algebraic dual 3-sphere, or if the fundamental group of the ambient space is trivial, then f and…
P. M. Akhmetiev used a controlled version of the stable Hopf invariant to show that any (continuous) map N -> M between stably parallelizable compact n-manifolds, n\ne 1,2,3,7, is realizable in R^{2n}, i.e. the composition of f with an…
Take transverse immersions f from a disjoint unin of the three 4-spheres $S^4_1$, $S^4_2$, and $S^4_3$ into $S^6$ with the following properties: (1) The restriction of $f$ to $S^4_i$ is an embedding, (2) The intersection of $f(S^4_i)$ and…
For Seifert manifold $M=X({p_1}/_{\f{q_1}},{p_2}/_{\f{q_2}}, ...,{p_n}/_ {\f{q_n}}), \tau^{'}_r(M)$ is calculated for all $r$ odd $\geq 3$. If $r$ is coprime to at least $n-2$ of $p_k$ (e.g. when $M$ is the Poincare homology sphere), it is…
We compare Hofer's geometries on two spaces associated with a closed symplectic manifold M. The first space is the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. The second space L consists of all Lagrangian submanifolds of $M \times M$ which are…
This is the beginning of an obstruction theory for deciding whether a map f:S^2 --> X^4 is homotopic to a topologically flat embedding, in the presence of fundamental group and in the absence of dual spheres. The first obstruction is Wall's…
Let $\psi:\M \to \SH$ be an isometric immersion of codimension 1, then there exist symmetric $(1,1)$-tensors $S$ and $f$, a tangent vector field $U$ and a smooth function $\lambda$ on $\M$ that satisfy the compatibility equations of $\SH$.…
We introduce invariants of Hurwitz equivalence classes with respect to arbitrary group $G$. The invariants are constructed from any right $G$-modules $M$ and any $G$-invariant bilinear function on $M$, and are of bilinear forms. For…
In this note, we generalize a characterization of the Clifford torus due to Ros. Let $f:M\rightarrow S^{n+1}$ be an embedded closed minimal hypersurface. Assume there are $(n+2)$ great hyperspheres of $S^{n+1}$ perpendicular to each other,…
We find a geometric invariant of isotopy classes of strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings of toroidal 3-manifolds. Combining this invariant with a theorem of R Weidmann, proved here in the appendix, we show that a closed, totally…
For a given smooth $2$-knot in $S^4$, we relate the existence of a smooth Seifert hypersurface of a certain class to the existence of irreducible $ SU(2)$-representations of its knot group. For example, we see that any smooth $2$-knot…
We give geometric formulae which enable us to detect (completely in some cases) the regular homotopy class of an immersion with trivial normal bundle of a closed oriented 3-manifold into 5-space. These are analogues of the geometric…
We use spectral invariants in Lagrangian Floer theory in order to show that there exist \emph{isometric} embeddings of normed linear spaces (finite or infinite dimensional, depending on the case) into the space of Hamiltonian deformations…
The geometric Hopf invariant of a stable map F is a stable Z_2-equivariant map h(F) such that the stable Z_2-equivariant homotopy class of h(F) is the primary obstruction to F being homotopic to an unstable map. In this paper we express the…
We develop a geometric approach to stable homotopy groups of spheres in the spirit of the work of Pontrjagin and Rokhlin. A new proof of the Hopf Invariant One Theorem by J.F.Adams is obtained in all dimensions except 15 and 31. To prove…
The aim of the paper is to prove that if $M$ is a metrizable manifold modelled on a Hilbert space of dimension $\alpha \geq \aleph_0$ and $F$ is its $\sigma$-$Z$-set, then for every completely metrizable space $X$ of weight no greater than…
Expanding on my former work along with the more recent work of Kasuya and Takase, we demonstrate that for a given link $L \subset M$ which is null-homologous in $H_1(M)$ and for any smooth oriented 2-plane field $\eta$ over $L$ there exists…
Using Heegaard Floer homology, we construct a numerical invariant for any smooth, oriented $4$-manifold $X$ with the homology of $S^1 \times S^3$. Specifically, we show that for any smoothly embedded $3$-manifold $Y$ representing a…
