Tight Embeddings of Simply Connected 4 - Manifolds Wolfgang
نویسندگان
چکیده
The classification of compact and simply connected PL 4-manifolds states that the homeomorphism classes coincide with the homotopy classes, and that these are classified by the intersection form. We show here that “most” of these classes with an indefinite intersection form can be represented by a tight polyhedral embedding into some Euclidean space. It remains open which of the PL structures can be realized in such a way. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 52B70, 53C42, 57Q35

On cohomogeneity one nonsimply connected 7-manifolds of constant positive curvature
In this paper, we give a classification of non simply connected seven dimensional Reimannian manifolds of constant positive curvature which admit irreducible cohomogeneity-one actions. We characterize the acting groups and describe the orbits. The first and second homo-topy groups of the orbits have been presented as well.
متن کاملAn Intrinsic Approach to Lichnerowicz Conjecture
In this paper we give a proof of Lichnerowicz Conjecture for compact simply connected manifolds which is intrinsic in the sense that it avoids the Nice Embeddings into eigen spaces of the Laplacian. Even if one wants to use these embeddings this paper gives a more streamlined proof.
متن کاملAn infinite family of tight triangulations of manifolds
We give explicit construction of vertex-transitive tight triangulations of d-manifolds for d ≥ 2. More explicitly, for each d ≥ 2, we construct two (d + 5d + 5)-vertex neighborly triangulated d-manifolds whose vertex-links are stacked spheres. The only other non-trivial series of such tight triangulated manifolds currently known is the series of non-simply connected triangulated d-manifolds wit...
متن کاملObservations on Lickorish Knotting of Contractible 4–manifolds
Lickorish has constructed large families of contractible 4–manifolds that have knotted embeddings in the 4–sphere and has also shown that every finitely presented perfect group with balanced presentation occurs as the fundamental group of the complement of a knotted contractible manifold. Here we make a few observations regarding Lickorish’s construction, showing how to extend it to construct c...
متن کاملKNOTTED CONTRACTIBLE 4-MANIFOLDS IN S4 W.B.R. Lickorish
A construction will here be described that can produce a compact contractible 4-manifold M embedded piecewise linearly (or smoothly) in S4 with the fundamental group of its complement being nontrivial. Then, another embedding of M in S4 will be produced which has simply connected complement. Several examples of this will be given. Of course, the construction emphasizes that contractible spaces ...
