On the Cobordism Group of Morin Maps

Morin maps (or 1-maps) are those smooth (generic) maps of n-manifolds in n + k-manifolds which at any point have rank n or n - 1. The cobordism group of such maps is finite by a result of Koschorke. We show that in many cases these groups have no odd torsion, and conjecture that this is true for all cases. The proof is based on the generalisation of the Pontrjagin-Thom construction to the cobordism of singular maps.     

群分次环的本原性及分次本原性

设A是一个用有限群G分次的环,本文给出了Smash积A＃G~*为本原环的一个判别准则,并证明了群分次环的每一个本原理想必定包含一个分次本原理想。作为一个推论,得到已被Cohen和Montgomery证实的Bergman猜想的另一个证明。此外还得到了A_1为本原环或单环的判别。

Graded Reversibility in Integral Group Rings

We say that an algebra R, graded by a group, is graded reversible if ab=0 implies ba=0 where a,b are homogeneous elements of R. In this note, we study graded reversibility when R=ℤG (viewed as a ℤ-algebra) and the grading group is cyclic of order two. A complete characterization of when this occurs is obtained for some classes of groups (including dihedral groups) assuming a positive answer to an open question concerning group gradings.     

Cobordism of algebraic knots

Summary The isolated singularities of complex hypersurfaces are studied by considering the topology of the highly connected submanifolds of spheres determined by the singularity. By introducing the notion of the link of a perturbation of the singularity and using techniques of surgery theory, we are able to describe which invariants associated to a singularity can be used to determine the cobordism type of the singularity.It is shown that the cobordism type is determined by the set of weakly distinguished bases. This result is used to draw a distinction between the classical case of two variables and the higher dimensional problem. That is, we show that the result of Le which states that the cobordism and topological classifications of singularities coincide in the classical dimension does not hold for singularities of functions of more than three variables. Examples of topologically distinct but cobordant singularities are obtained using results of Ebeling.

Cobordism of disk knots

We study cobordisms and cobordisms rel boundary of PL locally-flat disk knots D ⁿ⁻² ↪ D ⁿ . Any two disk knots are cobordant if the cobordisms are not required to fix the boundary sphere knots, and any two even-dimensional disk knots with isotopic boundary knots are cobordant rel boundary. However, the cobordism rel boundary theory of odd-dimensional disk knots is more subtle. Generalizing results of J. Levine on the cobordism of sphere knots, we define disk knot Seifert matrices and show that two higher-dimensional disk knots with isotopic boundaries are cobordant rel boundary if and only if their disk knot Seifert matrices are algebraically cobordant. We also ask which algebraic cobordism classes can be realized given a fixed boundary knot and provide a complete classification when the boundary knot has no 2-torsion in its middle-dimensional Alexander module. In the course of this classification, we establish a close connection between the Blanchfield pairing of a disk knot and the Farber-Levine torsion pairing of its boundary knot (in fact, for disk knots satisfying certain connectivity assumptions, the disk knot Blanchfield pairing will determine the boundary Farber-Levine pairing). In addition, we study the dependence of disk knot Seifert matrices on choices of Seifert surface, demonstrating that all such Seifert matrices are rationally S-equivalent, but not necessarily integrally S-equivalent.     

Cobordism independence of Grassmann manifolds

This note proves that, forF = ℝ, ℂ or ℍ, the bordism classes of all non-bounding Grassmannian manifoldsG _k(F ^n+k), withk <n and having real dimensiond, constitute a linearly independent set in the unoriented bordism group N _d regarded as a ℤ₂-vector space.     

Immersions of non-orientable surfaces

Let F be a closed non-orientable surface. We classify all finite order invariants of immersions of F into R³, with values in any Abelian group. We show they are all functions of a universal order 1 invariant which we construct as T⊕P⊕Q, where T is a Z valued invariant reflecting the number of triple points of the immersion, and P,Q are Z/2 valued invariants characterized by the property that for any regularly homotopic immersions , P(i)−P(j)∈Z/2 (respectively, Q(i)−Q(j)∈Z/2) is the number mod 2 of tangency points (respectively, quadruple points) occurring in any generic regular homotopy between i and j.For immersion and diffeomorphism such that i and i○h are regularly homotopic we show:

P(i○h)−P(i)=Q(i○h)−Q(i)=(rank(h_∗−Id)+ε(deth∗∗))mod2

Group Actions and Asymptotic Behavior of Graded Polynomial Identities

Let F be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0,and let A be a G-graded algebra over F for some finite abeliangroup G. Through G being regarded as a group of automorphismsof A, the duality between graded identities and G-identitiesof A is exploited. In this framework, the space of multilinearG-polynomials is introduced, and the asymptotic behavior ofthe sequence of G-codimensions of A is studied. Two characterizations are given of the ideal of G-graded identitiesof such algebra in the case in which the sequence of G-codimensionsis polynomially bounded. While the first gives a list of G-identitiessatisfied by A, the second is expressed in the language of therepresentation theory of the wreath product G S_n, where S_nis the symmetric group of degree n. As a consequence, it is proved that the sequence of G-codimensionsof an algebra satisfying a polynomial identity either is polynomiallybounded or grows exponentially.
