On Kontsevich’s Characteristic Classes for Higher Dimensional Homology Sphere Bundles and Milnor’s 0-invariant
This paper is concerned with M. Kontsevich’s universal characteristic classes of smooth bundles with fiber a ‘singularly’ framed odd-dimensional homology sphere. The main object of the present paper is to show that Kontsevich classes for fiber dimensions greater than 3 are highly non-trivial even after being made framing independent. We have two approaches: (i) explicit framing correction with ...
متن کاملSecondary Characteristic Classes of Surface Bundles
The Miller-Morita-Mumford classes associate to an oriented surface bundle E → B a class κi(E) ∈ H 2i(B;Z). In this note we define for each prime p and each integer i ≥ 1 a secondary characteristic class λi(E) ∈ H2i(p−1)−2(B;Z)/Zκi(p−1)−1. The mod p reduction λi(E) ∈ H∗(B;Fp) has zero indeterminacy and satisfies pλi(E) = κi(p−1)−1(E) ∈ H ∗(B;Z/p2).
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes and Quadric Bundles
In this paper we construct Stiefel-Whitney and Euler classes in Chow cohomology for algebraic vector bundles with nondegenerate quadratic form. These classes are not in the algebra generated by the Chern classes of such bundles and are new characteristic classes in algebraic geometry. On complex varieties, they correspond to classes with the same name pulled back from the cohomology of the clas...
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes of Surface Bundles Discussed with Professor Farb
We understand a lot about fiber bundle F → E → B, when F is a vector space and the structure group is a linear group. We can compute their cohomology completely. However, if we consider other bundles, such as bundles with fiber F a manifold, where the structure group is the diffeomorphism group, we know nearly nothing at all. In this article, we discuss surface bundles, which is the first step ...
متن کاملCharacteristic classes of complexified bundles
We examine the topological characteristic cohomology classes of complexified vector bundles. In particular, all the classes coming from real vector bundles are computed. We use characteristic classes with the axioms of Milnor and Stasheff [6]. Introduction Definition (Real generator bundles). We consider a real vector bundle F → B and a complex vector bundle E → B over the same base space B. If...
