Obstructions to locally flat embeddings of combinatorial manifolds

Combinatorial Embeddings of Manifolds

The following results on embedding manifolds resemble in their form Dehn's Lemma, the Sphere Theorem, and, especially, embedding theorems obtained for differentiable manifolds by A. Haefliger [i]. Let M, Q be finite combinatorial manifolds of dimensions m and q, respectively. Let M, Q be their boundaries (possibly empty), and let ƒ : M—>Q be a piecewise linear map. We define sing (ƒ) to be the ...

Efficient Locally Linear Embeddings of Imperfect Manifolds

New obstructions to symplectic embeddings

In this paper we establish new restrictions on symplectic embeddings of certain convex domains into symplectic vector spaces. These restrictions are stronger than those implied by the Ekeland-Hofer capacities. By refining an embedding technique due to Guth, we also show that they are sharp.

Geometric Inequalities on Locally Conformally Flat Manifolds

In this paper, we are interested in certain global geometric quantities associated to the Schouten tensor and their relationship in conformal geometry. For an oriented compact Riemannian manifold (M,g) of dimension n > 2, there is a sequence of geometric functionals arising naturally in conformal geometry, which were introduced by Viaclovsky in [29] as curvature integrals of Schouten tensor. If...

Locally conformal flat Riemannian manifolds with constant principal Ricci curvatures and locally conformal flat C-spaces

It is proved that every locally conformal flat Riemannian manifold all of whose Jacobi operators have constant eigenvalues along every geodesic is with constant principal Ricci curvatures. A local classification (up to an isometry) of locally conformal flat Riemannian manifold with constant Ricci eigenvalues is given in dimensions 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. It is shown that any n-dimensional (4 ≤ n ≤ 8)...
