### Generation of Source Terms in General Relativity by differential structures

In this paper the relation between the choice of a differential structure and a smooth connection in the tangential bundle is discussed. In the case of four dimensions we obtain a correction of the

### The symmetric Kazdan-Warner problem and applications

• Mathematics
• 2021
. After R. Schoen completed the solution of the Yamabe problem, compact manifolds could be allocated in three classes depending on whether they admit a metric with positive, non-negative or only

### Disconnecting the moduli space of G_2-metrics via U(4)-coboundary defects

We exhibit examples of closed Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy G_2 such that the underlying manifolds are diffeomorphic but whose associated G_2-structures are not homotopic. This is achieved by

### On the uniqueness of the smooth structure of the 61-sphere

• Mathematics
• 2016
We prove that the 61-sphere has a unique smooth structure. Following results of Moise [35], Kervaire-Milnor [25], Browder [10] and Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel [19], we show that the only odd dimensional

### The triviality of the 61-stem in the stable homotopy groups of spheres

• Mathematics
• 2016
We prove that the 2-primary $\pi_{61}$ is zero. As a consequence, the Kervaire invariant element $\theta_5$ is contained in the strictly defined 4-fold Toda bracket \$\langle 2, \theta_4, \theta_4,

We survey the 19th century development of the signature of a quadratic form, and the applications in the 20th and 21st century to the topology of manifolds and dynamical systems. Version 2 is an

### Orientation Reversing Gauge Transformations

I investigate whether or not a vector bundle admits an orientation reversing gauge transformation (aka. bundle automorphism). I introduce principal bundles and an equivariant formulation to aid the

### Smooth and PL-Rigidity Problems on Locally Symmetric Spaces

This is a survey on known results and open problems about Smooth and PL-Rigidity Problem for negatively curved locally symmetric spaces. We also review some developments about studying the basic

### Inertia groups of high dimensional complex projective spaces

• Mathematics

For a complex projective space the inertia group, the homotopy inertia group and the concordance inertia group are isomorphic. In complex dimension 4n+1, these groups are related to computations in
