Fold Cobordisms and Stable Homotopy Groups

چکیده
We prove that for n ≥ 1 and q > 0 the (oriented) cobordism group of fold maps of (oriented) (n + q)-dimensional manifolds into R contains the direct sum of ⌊(q + 1)/2⌋ copies of the (n − 1)th stable homotopy group of spheres as a direct summand. We also prove that for k ≥ 1 and q = 2k − 1 the cobordism group of fold maps of unoriented (n+ q)-dimensional manifolds into R also contains the nth stable homotopy group of the space RP as a direct summand. We have the analogous results about bordism groups of fold maps as well.

Cobordisms of Maps with Singularities of a given Class
Let P be a smooth manifold of dimension p. We will describe the group of all cobordism classes of smooth maps of n-dimensional closed manifolds into P with singularities of a given class (including all fold singularities if n ≧ p) in terms of certain stable homotopy groups by applying the homotopy principle on the existence level, which is assumed to hold for those smooth maps. We will also dea...
متن کاملCobordisms of Maps without Prescribed Singularities
Let N and P be smooth closed manifolds of dimensions n and p respectively. Given a Thom-Boardman symbol I, a smooth map f : N → P is called an Ω -regular map if and only if the Thom-Boardman symbol of each singular point of f is not greater than I in the lexicographic order. We will represent the group of all cobordism classes of Ω -regular maps of n-dimensional closed manifolds into P in terms...
متن کاملA new family in the stable homotopy groups of spheres
Let $p$ be a prime number greater than three. In this paper, we prove the existence of a new family of homotopy elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres $pi_{ast}(S)$ which is represented by $h_nh_mtilde{beta}_{s+2}in {rm Ext}_A^{s+4, q[p^n+p^m+(s+2)p+(s+1)]+s}(mathbb{Z}_p,mathbb{Z}_p)$ up to nonzero scalar in the Adams spectral sequence, where $ngeq m+2>5$, $0leq sExt}_A^{s+2,q[(s+2)p...
متن کاملDetection of a nontrivial element in the stable homotopy groups of spheres
Let $p$ be a prime with $pgeq 7$ and $q=2(p-1)$. In this paper we prove the existence of a nontrivial product of filtration $s+4$ in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. This nontrivial product is shown to be represented up to a nonzero scalar by the product element $widetilde{gamma}_{s}b_{n-1}g_{0}in {Ext}_{mathcal{A}}^{s+4,(p^n+sp^2+sp+s)q+s-3}(mathbb{Z}/p,mathbb{Z}/p)$ in ...
متن کاملUniversal moduli spaces of surfaces with flat connections and cobordism theory
Given a semisimple, compact, connected Lie group G with complexification Gc, we show there is a stable range in the homotopy type of the universal moduli space of flat connections on a principal G-bundle on a closed Riemann surface, and equivalently, the universal moduli space of semistable holomorphic Gc-bundles. The stable range depends on the genus of the surface. We then identify the homolo...
