Cobordism Group of Morse Functions on Unoriented Surfaces

چکیده
Ikegami and Saeki have proved that the cobordism group of Morse functions on oriented surfaces is an infinite cyclic group. Their method is applicable with a little modification to the computation of the cobordism group of Morse functions on unoriented surfaces. We prove that this group is isomorphic to the direct sum of the infinite cyclic group and the finite group of order two.

Cobordism of Morse functions on surfaces, the universal complex of singular fibers and their application to map germs
We give a new and simple proof for the computation of the oriented and the unoriented fold cobordism groups of Morse functions on surfaces. We also compute similar cobordism groups of Morse functions based on simple stable maps of 3–manifolds into the plane. Furthermore, we show that certain cohomology classes associated with the universal complexes of singular fibers give complete invariants f...
متن کاملCobordism Theory Using Steenrod Operations
In this paper I give new proofs of the structure theorems for the unoriented cobordism ring [12] and the complex cobordism ring [8, 131. The proofs are elementary in the sense that no mention of the Steenrod algebra or Adams spectral sequence is made. In fact, the only result from homotopy theory which is used in an essential way is the Serre finiteness theorem in order to know that the complex...
متن کاملThe Oriented Cobordism Ring
We give an exposition of the computation of the oriented cobordism ring ΩSO ∗ using the Adam’s spectral sequence. Our proof follows Pengelley [15]. The unoriented and complex cobordism rings are also computed in a similar fashion.
متن کامل2-torus Manifolds, Cobordism and Small Covers
Abstract. Let Mn be the set of equivariant unoriented cobordism classes of all ndimensional 2-torus manifolds, where an n-dimensional 2-torus manifold M is a smooth closed manifold of dimension n with effective smooth action of a rank n 2-torus group (Z2) . Then Mn forms an abelian group with respect to disjoint union. This paper determines the group structure of Mn and shows that each class of...
