Approximate Stolz Angle Limits

Otto Loewi

The end of the 19th century was the starting point of many discoveries in the field of the neurophysiology. At that time, only basic technical approaches were available, and new discoveries depended on few results and lots of deductions. Furthermore, the scientific community was often debating on theoretical speculations and was often divided. I have chosen to present a German neurophysiologist...

*Professor of Medicine, T.N. Medical College (Retd.), Hon. Physician, Bhatia Hospital, Mumbai; **Consultant Internal Medicine, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai O Loewi (1873 1961) studied medicine at the University of Strasbourg and obtained his medical degree in 1896. Thereafter he worked in London under Starling. In 1905, he went to Austria and held professorial positions at the Un...

Circle Bundles and the Kreck-Stolz Invariant

We present a direct analytic calculation of the s-invariant of KreckStolz for circle bundles, by evaluating the adiabatic limits of I invariants. We believe that this method should have wider applications.

Kreck-stolz Invariants for Quaternionic Line Bundles

We generalise the Kreck-Stolz invariants s2 and s3 by defining a new invariant, the t-invariant, for quaternionic line bundles E over closed spinmanifolds M of dimension 4k−1 with H3(M ;Q) = 0 such that c2(E) ∈ H4(M) is torsion. The t-invariant classifies closed smooth oriented 2-connected rational homology 7-spheres up to almost-diffeomorphism, that is, diffeomorphism up to a connected sum wit...
