On the Signatures of Even 4–manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we prove a number of inequalities between the signature and the Betti numbers of a 4–manifold with even intersection form and prescribed fundamental group. Furthermore, we introduce a new geometric group invariant and discuss some of its properties.

Rochlin’s theorem on signatures of spin 4-manifolds via algebraic topology
We give the original proof of Rochlin’s famous theorem on signatures of smooth spin 4-manifolds, which uses techniques from algebraic topology. We have attempted to include enough background and details to make this proof understandable to a geometrically minded topologist. We also include a fairly complete discussion of spin structures on manifolds.

Building on the theory of elliptic operators, we give a unified treatment of the following topics: • the problem of homotopy invariance of Novikov's higher signatures on closed manifolds; • the problem of cut-and-paste invariance of Novikov's higher signatures on closed manifolds; • the problem of defining higher signatures on manifolds with boundary and proving their homotopy invariance.

We give a survey on Meyer functions, with emphasis on their application to the signatures of fibered 4-manifolds. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 14D05, 20F34, 32G15; 57N13.
متن کاملOn $(epsilon)$ - Lorentzian para-Sasakian Manifolds
The object of this paper is to study $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds. Some typical identities for the curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor of $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold are investigated. Further, we study globally $phi$-Ricci symmetric and weakly $phi$-Ricci symmetric $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds and obtain interesting results.
متن کاملACTION OF SEMISIMPLE ISOMERY GROUPS ON SOME RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS OF NONPOSITIVE CURVATURE
A manifold with a smooth action of a Lie group G is called G-manifold. In this paper we consider a complete Riemannian manifold M with the action of a closed and connected Lie subgroup G of the isometries. The dimension of the orbit space is called the cohomogeneity of the action. Manifolds having actions of cohomogeneity zero are called homogeneous. A classic theorem about Riemannian manifolds...
