The main purpose of the present paper is to establish a theorem concerning the relation between the group of all projective transformations on an affinely connected manifold and the group of all affine transformations.

We study a smooth analogue of jumping curves of a holomorphic vector bundle, and use Yang–Mills theory over S2 to show that any non-trivial, smooth Hermitian vector bundle E over a smooth simply connected manifold, must have such curves. This is used to give new examples complex manifolds for which a non-trivial holomorphic vector bundle must have jumping curves in the classical sense (when c1(E) is zero). We also use this to give a new proof of a theorem of Gromov on the norm of curvature of unitary connections, and make the theorem slightly sharper. Lastly we define a sequence of new non-trivial integer invariants of smooth manifolds, connected to this theory of smooth jumping curves, and make some computations of these invariants. Our methods include an application of the recently developed Morse–Bott chain complex for the Yang–Mills functional over S2.

AbstractLogicians and philosophers of science have proposed various formal criteria for theoretical equivalence. In this paper, we examine two such proposals: definitional equivalence and categorical equivalence. In order to show precisely how these two well-known criteria are related to one another, we investigate an intermediate criterion called Morita equivalence.

Some sufficient conditions on a Symmetric Monoidal Closed category K are obtained such that a diagram in a free SMC category generated by the set A of atoms commutes if and only if all its interpretations in K are commutative. In particular, the category of vector spaces on any field satisfies these conditions (only this case was considered in the original Mac Lane conjecture). Instead of diagrams, pairs of derivations in Intuitionistic Multiplicative Linear logic can be considered (together with categorical equivalence). Two derivations of the same sequent are equivalent if and only if all their interpretations in K are equal. In fact, the assignment of values (objects of K) to atoms is defined constructively for each pair of derivations. Taking into account a mistake in R. Voreadou's proof of the "abstract coherence theorem" found by the author, it was necessary to modify her description of the class of non-commutative diagrams in SMC categories; our proof of S. Mac Lane conjecture proves also the correctness of the modified description.

Abstract Let Q be a simply connected manifold. We show that every exact Lagrangian cobordism between compact, exact Lagrangians in T*Q is an h-cobordism. This is a corollary of the Abouzaid–Kragh Theorem.
