Is there a natural connection on $TM$?
The Sasaki metric gives a natural way to equip $TM$ with a Riemannian metric in case $M$ is already equipped with a Riemanian metric. Question: Let $M$ be manifold equipped with an affine connection …

Must a bending of the cylinder leave the bases planar?
Set $M=\{(\cos(\theta),\sin(\theta),z):\theta\in[0,2\pi],z\in[0,1]\}$. A bending of $M$ is a smooth map $\Gamma:M\times [0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ such that

Must a continuous variation through compact simply connected Lie groups preserve topology
Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{R}$. Let $S$ be the vector space of multilinear maps from $V\times V$ to $V$. Let $L:\mathbb{I}\rightarrow S$ be a continuous map such that f …

What is the status of the smooth version of bellows conjecture
Bellows conjecture for polyhedra was setteled in 1997. How about the smooth version of it, ie bending of closed 2D submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^3$ while preserving the Riemannian structure/intrinsic ge …
