AbstractLet f be a smooth self-map of m-dimensional, m ≥ 4, smooth closed connected and simply-connected manifold, r a fixed natural number. For the class of maps with periodic sequence of Lefschetz numbers of iterations the authors introduced in [Graff G., Kaczkowska A., Reducing the number of periodic points in smooth homotopy class of self-maps of simply-connected manifolds with periodic sequence of Lefschetz numbers, Ann. Polon. Math. (in press)] the topological invariant J[f] which is equal to the minimal number of periodic points with the periods less or equal to r in the smooth homotopy class of f.In this paper the invariant J[f] is computed for self-maps of 4-manifold M with dimH 2(M; ℚ) ≤ 4 and estimated for other types of manifolds. We also use J[f] to compare minimization of the number of periodic points in smooth and in continuous categories.

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.

Homotopy Invariants

Let cat be the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category structure as defined by Whitehead [6] and let be the category structure as defined by Ganea [2],We prove thatandIt is known that w ∑ cat X = conil X for connected X. Dually, if X is simply connected,1. We work in the category of based topological spaces with the based homotopy type of CW-complexes and based homotopy classes of maps. We do not distinguish between a map and its homotopy class. Constant maps are denoted by 0 and identity maps by 1.We recall some notions from Peterson's theory of structures [5; 1] which unify the definitions of the numerical homotopy invariants akin to the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category.

Lagrangian Cobordism

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.

AbstractLet $$f:M\rightarrow M$$ f : M → M be a self-map of a compact manifold and $$n\in {\mathbb {N}}$$ n ∈ N . In general, the least number of n-periodic points in the smooth homotopy class of f may be much bigger than in the continuous homotopy class. For a class of spaces, including compact Lie groups, a necessary condition for the equality of the above two numbers, for each iteration $$f^n$$ f n , appears. Here we give the explicit form of the graph of orbits of Reidemeister classes $$\mathcal {GOR}(f^*)$$ GOR ( f ∗ ) for self-maps of projective unitary group PSU(2) and of $$PSU(2)\times PSU(2)$$ P S U ( 2 ) × P S U ( 2 ) satisfying the necessary condition. The structure of the graphs implies that for self-maps of the above spaces the necessary condition is also sufficient for the smooth minimal realization of n-periodic points for all iterations.

Abstract Given a Lie algebroid we discuss the existence of a smooth abelian integration of its abelianization. We show that the obstructions are related to the extended monodromy groups introduced recently in [9]. We also show that this groupoid can be obtained by a path-space construction, similar to the Weinstein groupoid of [6], but where the underlying homotopies are now supported in surfaces with arbitrary genus. As an application, we show that the prequantization condition for a (possibly non-simply connected) manifold is equivalent to the smoothness of an abelian integration. Our results can be interpreted as a generalization of the classical Hurewicz theorem.

AbstractWe study the cohomology of the space of immersed genus g surfaces in a simply-connected manifold. We compute the rational cohomology of this space in a stable range which goes to infinity with g. In fact, in this stable range we are also able to obtain information about torsion in the cohomology of this space, as long as we localise away from (g-1).
