Obstructions to Fibering a Manifold
Given a map f : M → N of closed topological manifolds we define torsion obstructions whose vanishing is a necessary condition for f being homotopy equivalent to a projection of a locally trivial fiber bundle. If N = S, these torsion obstructions are identified with the ones due to Farrell [5].
متن کاملOn fibering and splitting of 5-manifolds over the circle
Our main result is a generalization of Cappell’s 5-dimensional splitting theorem. As an application, we analyze, up to internal s-cobordism, the smoothable splitting and fibering problems for certain 5-manifolds mapping to the circle. For example, these maps may have homotopy fibers which are in the class of finite connected sums of certain geometric 4-manifolds. Most of these homotopy fibers h...
متن کاملTopological Obstructions to Certain Lie Group Actions on Manifolds
Given a smooth closed S1-manifold M , this article studies the extent to which certain numbers of the form (f∗ (x) · P · C) [M ] are determined by the fixed-point set MS 1 , where f : M → K (π1 (M) , 1) classifies the universal cover of M , x ∈ H∗ (π1 (M) ;Q), P is a polynomial in the Pontrjagin classes of M , and C is in the subalgebra of H∗ (M ;Q) generated by H2 (M ;Q). When MS 1 = ∅, variou...
متن کاملProjective Surgery Obstructions on Closed Manifolds
paper we answer the analogous questions (i) (iii) about the image ch(~,w) of C h in LP(~,w). These groups are the geometric surgery n n n obstruction groups of Maumary [M] or Taylor IT] ; algebraically they are L-groups of quadratic forms on projective (instead of free) Z~ modules [RI]. The appropriate version of (ii) is then to ask for i 1 invariants detecting o(f x id) where f x id: M x S ÷ N...
متن کاملSplitting Obstructions for Hermitian Forms and Manifolds with Z
Theorem 1 of this announcement constructs explicit algebraic counterexamples to the general conjecture (see for example [W, p. 138]) that groups of Hermitian forms satisfy a sum formula for free products. This conjecture was verified when the relevant groups have no 2-torsion by proving equivalent codimension one splitting theorems for manifolds. In part II of this note, see especially Theorem ...
