Singular fibers of stable maps and signatures of 4–manifolds

چکیده
In [24] the first named author developed the theory of singular fibers of generic differentiable maps between manifolds of negative codimension. Here, the codimension of a map f W M !N between manifolds is defined to be k D dim N dim M . For k 0, the fiber over a point in N is a discrete set of points, as long as the map is generic enough, and we can study the topology of such maps by using the well-developed theory of multi-jet spaces (see, for example, the article [13] by Mather). However, in the case where k < 0, the fiber over a point is no longer a discrete set, and is a complex of positive dimension k in general. This means that the theory of multi-jet spaces is not sufficient any more, and in [24] we have seen that the topology of singular fibers plays an essential role in such a study.

Cobordisms of Fold Maps of 4-manifolds into the Space
We compute the oriented cobordism group of fold maps of 4-manifolds into R 3 with all the possible restrictions (and also with no restriction) to the singular fibers. We also give geometric invariants which describe completely the cobordism group of fold maps.
متن کاملCobordism of Morse functions on surfaces, the universal complex of singular fibers and their application to map germs
We give a new and simple proof for the computation of the oriented and the unoriented fold cobordism groups of Morse functions on surfaces. We also compute similar cobordism groups of Morse functions based on simple stable maps of 3–manifolds into the plane. Furthermore, we show that certain cohomology classes associated with the universal complexes of singular fibers give complete invariants f...

متن کاملGradient estimates and blow - up analysis for stationary harmonic maps
For stationary harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the uniform interior and boundary gradient estimates in terms of the total energy of maps. We also show that if analytic target manifolds do not carry any harmonic S2, then the singular sets of stationary maps are m ≤ n− 4 rectifiable. Both of these results follow from a general analys...
