Fundamental group of the complement of a codimension two submanifold
Let $M$ denote an arbitrary smooth, closed, connected, n-dimensional manifold for $n\geq 4$. For every such $M$, does there exist a closed (not necessarily connected!) codimension two submanifold $S \ …

Lipschitz bounds and homotopy groups of diffeomorphism groups
Let $M$ denote a closed Riemannian manifold. Let $\mathrm{Diff}_0^L(M)$ denote the supspace of the identity component of the diffeomorphism group $\mathrm{Diff}_0(M)$ of diffeomorphisms with Lipschitz …

Doubles of 2-handlebodies
Let $X$ denote a $4$-manifold with boundary obtained by adding $k_1$ $1$-handles to $B^4$ and $k_2$ many $2$-handles to the resulting manifold i.e. $X$ is an arbitrary $4$-dimensional $2$-handlebody. …

Open book decompositions in dimension 4
The question about the existence of open book decompositions for a closed oriented $n$-dimensional manifold seems to be answered in all dimensions except dimension $4$, where as far as I can tell the …

Representing the fundamental class of an aspherical manifold in the bar complex
Suppose $M$ is a compact orientable aspherical manifold and $G$ its fundamental group. Is there a nice description of representatives of the fundamental class of $M$ and its dual in the (homogenous) b …

Can we embed a closed manifold into a homotopy equivalent CW complex?
Suppose $X$ is a CW complex and $M$ is a closed manifold and suppose further that there exists a homotopy equivalence $X \simeq M$. Does there exists an embedding of $M$ into $X$ (i.e. an injective (p …

Hyperbolization with word-hyperbolic fundamental group
In Davis-Januszkiewica´s paper Hyperbolization of polyhedra it is shown that for every manifold $M$ there exists a map $N \to M$ of non-zero degree such that $N$ is aspherical (plus some more properti …

Action of diffeomorphism group on non-vanishing vector fields
Let $M$ denote a closed manifold. Let $\Gamma(TM\setminus 0) $ denote the space of non-vanishing sections of $TM$. Note that the diffeomorphism group $\text{Diff} (M)$ acts on $\Gamma(TM\setminus 0 …

Paracompactness of Quotient by Group Action
Suppose $X$ is a metric space with a free group action by a topological group $G$, which is also a metric space, such that $\pi\colon X \to X/G$ is a fiber bundle.
Does the quotient inherit the para …
