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 کاملDihedral manifold approximate fibrations over the circle
Consider the cyclic group C2 of order two acting by complex-conjugation on the unit circle S1. The main result is that a finitely dominated manifold W of dimension> 4 admits a cocompact, free, discontinuous action by the infinite dihedral group D∞ if and only if W is the infinite cyclic cover of a free C2-manifold M such that M admits a C2-equivariant manifold approximate fibration to S1. The n...
متن کاملThe rank of the fundamental group of certain hyperbolic 3–manifolds fibering over the circle
Probably the most basic invariant of a finitely generated group is its rank, ie the minimal number of elements needed to generate it. In general the rank of a group is not computable. For instance, there are examples, due to Baumslag, Miller and Short [3], of hyperbolics groups showing that there is no uniform algorithm solving the rank problem. Everything changes in the setting of 3–manifold g...
متن کاملGROUPOID ASSOCIATED TO A SMOOTH MANIFOLD
In this paper, we introduce the structure of a groupoid associated to a vector field on a smooth manifold. We show that in the case of the $1$-dimensional manifolds, our groupoid has a smooth structure such that makes it into a Lie groupoid. Using this approach, we associated to every vector field an equivalence relation on the Lie algebra of all vector fields on the smooth...
