New fourfolds from F-theory

2015

In this paper, we apply Borcea-Voisin's construction and give new examples of fourfolds containing a del Pezzo surface of degree six, which admit an elliptic fibration on a smooth threefold. Some of these fourfolds are Calabi-Yau varieties, which are relevant for the $N=1$ compactification of Type IIB string theory known as $F$-Theory. As a by-product, we provide a new example of a Calabi--Yau threefold with Hodge numbers $h^{1,1}=h^{2,1}=10$.

A note on conjugation involutions on homotopy complex projective spaces

Sur les feuilletages alg�briques de Rolle

1997

L'objet de ce travail est l'etude des feuilletages algebriques de Rolle dans \( \Bbb {R}^n \). On montre que leur restriction au complementaire d'un nombre fini de feuilles possede une structure de produit. On precise aussi la topologie de certaines de leurs feuilles.

On hyperbolic type involutions

2001

We give a bound on the number of hyperbolic knots which are double covered by a fixed (non hyperbolic) manifold in terms of the number of tori and of the invariants of the Seifert fibred pieces of its Jaco-Shalen-Johannson decomposition. We also investigate the problem of finding the non hyperbolic knots with the same double cover of a hyperbolic one and give several examples to illustrate the results.

Discrete and Conservative Factorizations in Fib(B)

2021

AbstractWe focus on the transfer of some known orthogonal factorization systems from$$\mathsf {Cat}$$Catto the 2-category$${\mathsf {Fib}}(B)$$Fib(B)of fibrations over a fixed base categoryB: the internal version of thecomprehensive factorization, and the factorization systems given by (sequence of coidentifiers, discrete morphism) and (sequence of coinverters, conservative morphism) respectively. For the class of fibrewise opfibrations in$${\mathsf {Fib}}(B)$$Fib(B), the construction of the latter two simplify to a single coidentifier (respectively coinverter) followed by an internal discrete opfibration (resp. fibrewise opfibration in groupoids). We show how these results follow from thei…

Introduction to Homotopy Theory

2001

Consider two manifolds X and Y together with a set of continuous maps f, g,... $$ f:X \to Y,x \to f(x) = y;x \in X,y \in Y. $$

The Topology of the Milnor Fibration

2020

The fibration theorem for analytic maps near a critical point published by John Milnor in 1968 is a cornerstone in singularity theory. It has opened several research fields and given rise to a vast literature. We review in this work some of the foundational results about this subject, and give proofs of several basic “folklore theorems” which either are not in the literature, or are difficult to find. Examples of these are that if two holomorphic map-germs are isomorphic, then their Milnor fibrations are equivalent, or that the Milnor number of a complex isolated hypersurface or complete intersection singularity \((X, \underline {0})\) does not depend on the choice of functions that define …

Homotopy limits for 2-categories

2008

AbstractWe study homotopy limits for 2-categories using the theory of Quillen model categories. In order to do so, we establish the existence of projective and injective model structures on diagram 2-categories. Using these results, we describe the homotopical behaviour not only of conical limits but also of weighted limits. Finally, pseudo-limits are related to homotopy limits.

Harmonicity and minimality of oriented distributions

2004

We consider an oriented distribution as a section of the corresponding Grassmann bundle and, by computing the tension of this map for conveniently chosen metrics, we obtain the conditions which the distribution must satisfy in order to be critical for the functionals related to the volume or the energy of the map. We show that the three-dimensional distribution ofS4m+3 tangent to the quaternionic Hopf fibration defines a harmonic map and a minimal immersion and we extend these results to more general situations coming from 3-Sasakian and quaternionic geometry.
