The Bryant–Ferry–Mio–Weinberger construction of generalized manifolds

چکیده
Following Bryant, Ferry, Mio andWeinberger we construct generalized manifolds as limits of controlled sequences {Xi pi →Xi−1 | i = 1, 2, ...} of controlled Poincaré spaces. The basic ingredient is the ε-δ–surgery sequence recently proved by Pedersen, Quinn and Ranicki. Since one has to apply it not only in cases when the target is a manifold, but a controlled Poincaré complex, we explain this issue very roughly (Theorem 3.5). Specifically, it is applied in the inductive step to construct the desired controlled homotopy equivalence pi+1 : Xi+1 → Xi . Theorem 3.5 requires a sufficiently controlled Poincaré structure on Xi (over Xi−1 ). Our construction shows that this can be achieved. In fact, the Poincaré structure of Xi depends upon a homotopy equivalence used to glue two manifold pieces together (the rest is surgery theory leaving unaltered the Poincaré structure). It follows from the ε-δ–surgery sequence (more precisely from the Wall realization part) that this homotopy equivalence is sufficiently well controlled. In §4 we give additional explanation why the limit space of the Xi ’s has no resolution. AMS Classification Primary 57PXX; Secondary 55RXX

Homology manifolds
The study of the local-global geometric topology of homology manifolds has a long history. Homology manifolds were introduced in the 1930s in attempts to identify local homological properties that implied the duality theorems satisfied by manifolds [23, 56]. Bing’s work on decomposition space theory opened new perspectives. He constructed important examples of 3-dimensional homology manifolds w...
متن کاملHomology Manifolds and 4-dimensional Surgery
This article sketches a modification of the constructions of ANR homology manifolds pioneered by Bryant, Ferry, Mio and Weinberger. The original constructions were limited to dimensions 6 and greater while the version described here seems to work in dimension 4. If so it is not only the lowest expected dimension for exotic homology manifolds, but also gives new results for manifolds. In particu...
متن کاملTopology of Homology Manifolds
We construct examples of nonresolvable generalized «-manifolds, n > 6 , with arbitrary resolution obstruction, homotopy equivalent to any simply connected, closed «-manifold. We further investigate the structure of generalized manifolds and present a program for understanding their topology. By a generalized n-manifold we will mean a finite-dimensional absolute neighborhood retract X such that ...
متن کاملOn some generalized recurrent manifolds
The object of the present paper is to introduce and study a type of non-flat semi-Riemannian manifolds, called, super generalized recurrent manifolds which generalizes both the notion of hyper generalized recurrent manifolds [A.A. Shaikh and A. Patra, On a generalized class of recurrent manifolds, Arch. Math. (Brno) 46 (2010) 71--78.] and weakly generalized recurrent manifolds ...
متن کاملHypereuclidean Manifolds and Expanders
We show that the Cayley graph of the fundamental group of a closed aspherical manifold with the hypereuclidean universal cover cannot contain an expander. This rules out for recent Gromov’s examples of exotic groups an approach to the Novikov Conjecture via the hypereuclideanness developed by Connes, Gromov and Moscovici [G],[CGM] and in a different languages by Ferry and Weinberger [FW],[DF], ...
