Let $S \to X$ be an $S^3$-fiber bundle over a smooth manifold $X$. If $S$ is an oriented manifold does this fiber bundle admit the structure of an $SU(2)$-principal bundle? There is a similar theorem …

One way to construct an $E_\infty$-algebra is to consider the cochain complex $C^*(X;M)$ for $X$ a topological space and $M$ a module over some ring $\Lambda$. From what I can recall, the $E_\infty$-a …

Consider the family of singular hyperelliptic curves $$ y^2 - x(x-1)^2(x-2)(x-3)(x-4)(x-t) $$ over $\mathbb{A}^1_t$. Over a generic point the fiber is a genus three curve where one of the genera comes …

Consider the assocaited sphere bundle $$S(E) \to \mathbb{P}^n$$ for the vector bundle $\mathcal{O}(k)\oplus \mathcal{O}(l) \to \mathbb{P}^n$. Is there a way to determine the differentials $$ d_4^{p,m} …

Given a variety $X$ and a complete-intersection morphism $$ Y \to X $$ is there an analogue of the Koszul complex for $\mathcal{O}_Y \in \textbf{Coh}(X)$ in the setting of constructible sheaves? Meani …

Consider a Whitney stratified space $$ \varnothing = X_{-1} \subseteq X_0 \subseteq X_1 \subseteq \cdots \subseteq X_n $$ is there a spectral sequence for borel-moore homology which depends on the str …

I'm learning about Lefschetz pencils and vanishing cycles and have looked at a few sources: http://www.math.purdue.edu/~dvb/preprints/sheaves.pdf http://www3.nd.edu/~lnicolae/Morse2nd.pdf Voisin's C …

I'm learning about intersection cohomology topologically through MacPherson's "New York Times Article". This is a very nice guide which gives a nice idea on how to use these methods for low-dimensiona …
