Continuous choice of null directions for a family of bilinear forms

Let $E$ and $F$ be (real) Hilbert spaces, where $\dim E = \infty$ and $1 \leq \dim F < \infty$. Let $T : E \to \operatorname{Sym}(F \times F,\mathbb{R})$ be a continuous linear map, where $\operatorna …

When does an analytic submanifold descend to the quotient?

Let $\pi : M \to B$ be a smooth principal bundle with group $G$, where $M$ is an analytic (Fréchet, in my case) manifold, $B$ is a smooth (Fréchet) manifold and $G$ is a smooth (Fréchet) Lie group. Fi …

Conditions under which the preimage of a submanifold in nontrivial in homology

Let $\pi: M^{n+k} \to N^n$ be a fibre bundle with fibre $F$ between compact smooth manifolds. What are “mild” sufficient conditions on the topology of $M$, $N$ and $F$ so that given a closed $p$-subma …

Positive scalar curvature on the total space of a circle bundle

Let $(\Sigma_\gamma,g)$ be a closed and orientable Riemannian surface of genus $\gamma \geq 1$, $(M^3,\tilde{g})$ be a closed, connected and orientable Riemannian $3$-manifold, and $\pi : M \to \Sigma …
