Poincaré and the Early History of 3-manifolds

نویسنده

  • JOHN STILLWELL
چکیده

Recent developments in the theory of 3-manifolds, centered around the Poincaré conjecture, use methods that were not envisioned by Poincaré and his contemporaries. Nevertheless, the main themes of 3-manifold topology originated in Poincaré’s time. The purpose of this article is to reveal the origins of the subject by revisiting the world of the early topologists.

Quantum Invariant of 3-Manifolds and Poincaré Conjecture

In this paper we propose a new quantum gauge model. From this gauge model we derive quantum invariants of 3-manifolds. We show that these invariants classify closed (orientable and connected) 3-manifolds. From this classification we then prove the Poincaré conjecture.

Quantum Invariants of 3-manifolds and Poincaré Conjecture

We propose a new gauge model of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and its nonabelian generalization. Unlike the conventional quantum field theory this new gauge model of quantum field is a one-parameter diffusion process as analogous to the Brownian motion. From this new gauge model of quantum field we derive new invariants of knots and links which extend the Jones polynomials. We show that these n...

The Poincaré conjecture for stellar manifolds

This paper proves that any closed, simply connected, connected, compact stellar manifold is a stellar sphere. That implies the Poincaré conjecture.

Conformal mappings preserving the Einstein tensor of Weyl manifolds

In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal mapping between two Weyl manifolds to preserve Einstein tensor. Then we prove that some basic curvature tensors of $W_n$ are preserved by such a conformal mapping if and only if the covector field of the mapping is locally a gradient. Also, we obtained the relation between the scalar curvatures of the Weyl manifolds r...

بهبود مدل تفکیک‌کننده منیفلدهای غیرخطی به‌منظور بازشناسی چهره با یک تصویر از هر فرد

Manifold learning is a dimension reduction method for extracting nonlinear structures of high-dimensional data. Many methods have been introduced for this purpose. Most of these methods usually extract a global manifold for data. However, in many real-world problems, there is not only one global manifold, but also additional information about the objects is shared by a large number of manifolds...
