On Simply-connected 4-manifolds
This paper concerns (but does not succeed in performing) the diffeomorphism classification of closed, oriented, differential, simply-connected 4-manifolds. It arises out of the observation (due to Pontrjagin and Milnor [2]) that if two such manifolds Mx and M2 have isomorphic quadratic forms of intersection numbers on #2(Jft-), then there is a map / : M1-^-Mi which is a homotopy equivalence and...
متن کاملOn Non-formal Simply Connected Manifolds
We construct examples of non-formal simply connected and compact oriented manifolds of any dimension bigger or equal to 7.
متن کاملThe Stable Mapping Class Group of Simply Connected 4-manifolds
We consider mapping class groups Γ(M) = π0Diff(M fix ∂M) of smooth compact simply connected oriented 4–manifolds M bounded by a collection of 3– spheres. We show that if M contains CP 2 or CP 2 as a connected summand then all Dehn twists around 3–spheres are trivial, and furthermore, Γ(M) is independent of the number of boundary components. By repackaging classical results in surgery and handle...
متن کاملTORUS AND Z/p ACTIONS ON MANIFOLDS
Let G be either a finite cyclic group of prime order or S. We show that if G acts on a manifold or, more generally, on a Poincaré duality space M , then each term of the Leray spectral sequence of the map M×GEG → BG satisfies a properly defined “Poincaré duality.” As a consequence of this fact we obtain new results relating the cohomology groups of M and M. We apply our results to study group a...
متن کاملSimply Connected Manifolds of Positive Scalar Curvature
Hitchin proved that if M is a spin manifold with positive scalar curvature, then the A^O-characteristic number a(M) vanishes. Gromov and Lawson conjectured that for a simply connected spin manifold M of dimension > 5, the vanishing of a(M) is sufficient for the existence of a Riemannian metric on M with positive scalar curvature. We prove this conjecture using techniques from stable homotopy th...
