Cobordism and Exotic Spheres

Preface Jules Henri Poincaré may rightly be considered the father of modern topology (Leonhard Euler and the Königsberg bridges notwithstanding). It is fitting, therefore, that many of the questions explored in this thesis originated with Poincaré. Poincaré's famous conjecture – which has driven so much of twentieth-century topology – arose, in fact, as the successor of an earlier conjecture. P...

Cobordism and Hopf’s Theorem

Algebraic Cobordism

Together with F. Morel, we have constructed in [6, 7, 8] a theory of algebraic cobordism, an algebro-geometric version of the topological theory of complex cobordism. In this paper, we give a survey of the construction and main results of this theory; in the final section, we propose a candidate for a theory of higher algebraic cobordism, which hopefully agrees with the cohomology theory repres...

Toric Topology and Complex Cobordism

We plan to discuss how the ideas and methodology of Toric Topology can be applied to one of the classical subjects of algebraic topology: finding nice representatives in complex cobordism classes. Toric and quasitoric manifolds are the key players in the emerging field of Toric Topology, and they constitute a sufficiently wide class of stably complex manifolds to additively generate the whole c...
