We compute the oriented cobordism group of fold maps of 4-manifolds into the space with all the possible restrictions (and also with no restriction) to the singular fibers. We also give geometric invariants which describe completely the…

We present necessary and sufficient conditions for a group homomorphism between spaces of smooth sections of Lie group bundles to be a weighted composition operator. These results provide new insights into a wide range of problems related…

We construct smooth manifolds with order two $\pi_1$ and even intersection forms which are irreducible, meaning they do not decompose into non-trivial connected sums. Their intersection forms being even implies that their universal covers…

To each oriented closed combinatorial manifold we assign the set (with repetitions) of isomorphism classes of links of its vertices. The obtained transformation L is the main object of study of the present paper. We pose a problem on the…

In this paper, we develop a geometric procedure for producing a reverse to Quillen's plus construction, a construction called a 1-sided h-cobordism or semi-h-cobordism. We then use this reverse to the plus construction to produce…

Let $T$ be a torus and $B$ a compact $T-$manifold. Goresky, Kottwitz, and MacPherson show in \cite{GKM} that if $B$ is (what was subsequently called) a GKM manifold, then there exists a simple combinatorial description of the equivariant…

In this paper we study collapsing sequences M_{i}-> X of Riemannian manifolds with curvature bounded or bounded away from a controlled subset. We introduce a structure over X which in an appropriate sense is dual to the N-structure of…

Let $E$ be a smooth bundle with fiber an $n$-dimensional real projective space $\mathbb{R}P^n$. We show that, if every fiber carries a positively curved pointwise strongly $1/4$-pinched Riemannian metric that varies continuously with…

Given a complex manifold $X$, a normal crossing divisor $D\subset X$ whose irreducible components $D_1,...,D_s$ are smooth, and a choice of natural numbers $r=(r_1,...,r_s)$, we construct a manifold $X(D,\ur)$ with an action of a torus…

This article constructs examples of associative submanifolds in $G_2$-manifolds obtained by resolving $G_2$-orbifolds using Joyce's generalised Kummer construction. As the $G_2$-manifolds approach the $G_2$-orbifolds, the volume of the…

We observe that any regular Lie groupoid G over an manifold M fits into an extension $K \to G \to E$ of a foliation groupoid E by a bundle of connected Lie groups K. If $\FF$ is the foliation on M given by the orbits of E and T is a…

Let $T$ be a torus of dimension $n>1$ and $M$ a compact $T-$manifold. $M$ is a GKM manifold if the set of zero dimensional orbits in the orbit space $M/T$ is zero dimensional and the set of one dimensional orbits in $M/T$ is one…

We give a construction of the moduli space of stable maps to the classifying stack B\mu_r of a cyclic group by a sequence of r-th root constructions on M_{0, n}. We prove a closed formula for the total Chern class of \mu_r-eigenspaces of…

In this paper, we give an expository account of the geometric properties of the moduli stack of $G$-bundles. For $G$ an algebraic group over a base field and $X \to S$ a flat, finitely presented, projective morphism of schemes, we give a…

We give a simple construction of new, complete, finite volume manifolds $M$ of bounded, nonpositive curvature. These manifolds have ends that look like a mixture of locally symmetric ends of different ranks and their fundamental groups are…

The Hermitian symmetric space $M=\mathrm{EIII}$ appears in the classification of complete simply connected Riemannian manifolds carrying a parallel even Clifford structure. This means the existence of a real oriented Euclidean vector bundle…

The sectional curvature of the volume preserving diffeomorphism group of a Riemannian manifold $M$ can give information about the stability of inviscid, incompressible fluid flows on $M$. We demonstrate that the submanifold of the…

Classical results of Milnor, Wood, Mather, and Thurston produce flat connections in surprising places. The Milnor-Wood inequality is for circle bundles over surfaces, whereas the Mather-Thurston Theorem is about cobording general manifold…

Let $B$ be a simply-connected projective variety such that the first cohomology groups of all line bundles on $B$ are zero. Let $E$ be a vector bundle over $B$ and $X={\mathbb P} (E)$. It is easily seen that a power of any endomorphism of…

We consider a category whose morphisms are bordisms of $n$-dimensional pseudomanifolds equipped with a certain additional structure (coloring). On the other hand, we consider the product $G$ of $(n+1)$ copies of infinite symmetric group. We…
