Let $V$ is a projective hypersurface of dimension $3$ and $D$ be divisor at infinity of $V$ (assume $D$ has isolated singularities). It is known that the third homology of both $V$ and $D$ are hard to …

Given a $m-$sheeted covering map from $p:M^n\to N^n$, where $M,N$ are manifolds of dimension $n$. Suppose $M$ and $N$ are homotopy equivalent to finite CW complexes $X$ and $Y$ of same dimension $k$. …

Define a polynomial $f: \mathbb{C}^2 \to \mathbb{C}$ by $f(x,y)= x(x(2y+1)+1)(x(2y+1)-1).$ The inverse image of zero (i.e. $f^{-1}(0)$) is $\mathbb{C}\cup \mathbb{C}^*\cup \mathbb{C}^*$ (the unions ar …

Let $M$ be a compact submanifold with boundary of $\mathbb{R}^n$ of dimension $n$. Let $f:M \to \mathbb{R}$ be a Morse function. Then $f$ is proper. Let $N:=M-bd(M)$. How can I get a proper Morse func …

I want to build a finite CW complex such that $\pi_1$ is non-abelian and $H_i$ are zero for $i\geq 2.$ From Hatcher for a given group G, one can create an example of a 2-complex $X_G$ with $\pi_1(X_G) …

Given a smooth fiber bundle $X \to S^1,$ such that the fiber, $F$, is homotopic to $S^2 \vee S^2.$ Is it true that this is always a trivial fiber bundle? In general, how to check a fiber bundle is tri …

Given a finite dimensional finite $CW$ complex $X$ of dimension $d$, I want to build a compact manifold $M$ (with least dimension possible) with boundary with the property that, $M$ has the same homo …

I started with a finite CW complex $X$ of dimension $n\geq 3$. I have embedded (local embedding) it inside $R^{2n}$. Now take a regular neighbourhood $U$ of $X$ in $R^{2n}$ which has the same homotopy …

I was trying to read Fine and Triantafillou's paper "On the equivariant formality of Kahler manifolds with finite group action". They have defined the enlargement at $H$ of a system of DGA's $A$, as $ …

I asked this question long back but could not get a satisfying answer. Starting with a finite CW complex $X$ of dimension $n\geq 3$. I have embedded it inside $R^{2n}$. Now take a tubular neighborhood …

From Hatcher Corollary A.10. the (global) immersion for an $n-$dimensional CW complex is possible in some $\mathbb{R}^N$. I have started with $M(G,n)$ (Moore space of type $(G,n)$, $G$ is cyclic finit …

I am not very conversant with Stein structure on a manifold so this may be a very silly question. Let $X$ and $Y$ be two Stein manifolds of dimension $n$, inside $\mathbb{C}^N$. Take $x\in X$ and $y\i …

There are manifolds (rationally elliptic) $M_1$ and $M_2$ of different rational homotopy types but their rational cohomology algebras coincide. Such examples were discussed in Nishimoto, Shiga, Yamagu …

For figure "eight" there is a list of finite sheeted covering discussed in Hatcher's book "Algebraic topology". I was thinking about the following question: Let $S$ be a finite subset with $|S|>1$ of …

I asked this question on MSE a few days back but could not get any helpful response. So I am rewriting the post. It is known to me that given a simply connected finite dimensional (which is also level …
