On the Classification of Certain Piecewise Linear and Differentiable Manifolds in Dimension Eight and Automorphisms
In this paper, we will be concerned with the explicit classification of closed, oriented, simply-connected spin manifolds in dimension eight with vanishing cohomology in the odd dimensions. The study of such manifolds was begun by Stefan Müller. In order to understand the structure of these manifolds, we will analyze their minimal handle presentations and describe explicitly to what extent thes...
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes and Quadric Bundles
In this paper we construct Stiefel-Whitney and Euler classes in Chow cohomology for algebraic vector bundles with nondegenerate quadratic form. These classes are not in the algebra generated by the Chern classes of such bundles and are new characteristic classes in algebraic geometry. On complex varieties, they correspond to classes with the same name pulled back from the cohomology of the clas...
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes on Grassmann Manifolds
In this paper, we use characteristic classes of the canonical vector bundles and the Poincaré dualality to study the structure of the real homology and cohomology groups of oriented Grassmann manifold G(k, n). Show that for k = 2 or n ≤ 8, the cohomology groups H∗(G(k, n),R) are generated by the first Pontrjagin class, the Euler classes of the canonical vector bundles. In these cases, the Poinc...
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes Associated to Q–Bundles
A Q-manifold is a graded manifold endowed with a vector field of degree one squaring to zero. We consider the notion of a Q-bundle, that is, a fiber bundle in the category of Q-manifolds. To each homotopy class of “gauge fields” (sections in the category of graded manifolds) and each cohomology class of a certain subcomplex of forms on the fiber we associate a cohomology class on the base. Any ...
متن کاملChromatic Characteristic Classes in Ordinary Group Cohomology
We study a family of subrings, indexed by the natural numbers, of the mod p cohomology of a finite group G. These subrings are based on a family of vn-periodic complex oriented cohomology theories and are constructed as rings of generalised characteristic classes. We identify the varieties associated to these subrings in terms of colimits over categories of elementary abelian subgroups of G, na...
