Connected Sums of Self-dual Manifolds and Equivariant Relative Smoothings
Recall that a conformal 4-manifold is called self-dual if its Weyl curvature, considered as a bundle valued 2-form, is in the +1 eigenspace of the Hodge star-operator [1]. Due to Schoen’s proof [19] of the Yamabe conjecture it is known that within any conformal class on a compact manifold is a metric whose scalar curvature is constant and the sign of this constant is a conformal invariant. The ...
متن کامل5-manifolds: 1-connected*
We recall the classification of closed smooth simply-connected 5manifolds begun by Smale in 1962 and completed by Barden in 1965. We also give a construction of every such manifold which differs from Barden’s original construction.
متن کاملThe Classification of (n− 1)-connected 2n-manifolds
This is the question Milnor was actually working as a long-term project during the 1950’s when he “accidentally” discovered exotic spheres, as he explains in [Mil]. This was before the breakthrough of Smale and the Poincaré Conjecture still seemed completely out of reach. Somehow this was the “next easiest” problem in manifold topology and possibly ammenable to the extraordinary tools already d...
متن کاملHeegaard Stability in Amalgamated 3-manifolds I: Connected Sums
Let M1 and M2 be closed, irreducible 3-manifolds. Let Hi and Gi denote non-isotopic Heegaard surfaces in Mi, where Hi is unstabilized. Let H be the amalgamation of H1 and H2 and G be the amalgamation of G1 and G2 in M1#M2. Then H is not a stabilization of G. It follows that H and G are not isotopic, and that H is unstabilized. This answers a question of C. Gordon (Problem 3.91 from [Kir97]) in ...
متن کاملGeneralized Fibre Sums of 4-manifolds and the Canonical Class
In this article we determine the integral homology and cohomology groups of a closed 4-manifold X obtained as the generalized fibre sum of two closed 4-manifolds M and N along embedded surfaces of genus g and selfintersection zero. If the homologies of the 4-manifolds are torsion free and the surfaces represent indivisible homology classes, we derive a formula for the intersection form of X. If...
