On strong graph bundles

We study strong graph bundles : a concept imported from topology which generalizes both covering graphs and product graphs. Roughly speaking, a strong graph bundle always involves three graphs $E$, $B$ and $F$ and a projection $p:E\to B$ with fiber $F$ (i.e. $p^{?1}\left(x\right)?F$ for all $x\in V\left(B\right)$) such that the preimage of any edge $xy$ of $B$ is trivial (i.e. $p^{?1}\left(xy\right)?K_2?F$). Here we develop a framework to study which subgraphs $S$ of $B$ have trivial preimages (i.e. $p^{?1}\left(S\right)?S?F$) and this allows us to compare and classify several variations of the concept of strong graph bundle. As an application, we show that the clique operator preserves triangular graph bundles (strong graph bundles where preimages of triangles are trivial) thus yielding a new technique for the study of clique divergence of graphs.     

Hamilton cycles in graph bundles over a cycle with tree as a fibre

A sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of a Hamilton cycle in a graph bundle with a cycle as a base and a tree as a fibre is obtained.

On 4-manifolds homotopy equivalent to surface bundles over surfaces

We show that a closed 4-manifold is homotopy equivalent to the total space of a surface bundle over a surface if the obviously necessary conditions on the fundamental group and Euler characteristic hold. When the base is the 2-sphere we need also conditions on the characteristic classes of the manifold. (Our results are incomplete when the base is the projective plane.) In most cases we can show the manifold is s-cobordant to the total space of the bundle.     

Cyclic actions on some Klein bottle bundles over S1

Leth be a cyclic action of periodn onM, whereM is eitherS ¹×K, K is the Klein bottle or on , the twisted Klein bottle bundle overS ¹, such that there is a fiberingq:MS ¹ with fiber a Klein bottleK or a torusT with respect to which the action is fiber preserving. We classify all such actions and show that they might be distinguished by their fixed points or by their orbit spaces.     

Some remarks about 1-convex manifolds on which all holomorphic line bundles are trivial

We give an abridged proof of an example already considered in [M. Col?oiu, On 1-convex manifolds with 1-dimensional exceptional set, Rev. Roumaine Math. Pures et Appl. 43 (1998) 97-104] of a 1-convex manifold X of dimension 3 such that all holomorphic line bundles on X are trivial. We also point out several mistakes of [Vo Van Tan, On the quasiprojectivity of compactifiable strongly pseudoconvex manifolds, Bull. Sci. Math. 129 (2005) 501-522] concerning this topic.
