Abstract

This paper refines the notion of cyclic Massey products to the bi-graded setting, just as quadruple ABC Massey products refine the notion of quadruple Massey products. The result, we call ``cyclic ABC Massey products,'' are in general non-trivial and contain information different from the quadruple ABC Massey products.

Equivariant bordism rigidity for toric manifolds

In this paper, we develop a bordism-theoretic approach to rigidity problems for toric and quasitoric manifolds. We prove that two toric manifolds are isomorphic as varieties if and only if they are weakly equivariantly unitary bordant. We also establish a parallel rigidity result for omnioriented quasitoric manifolds satisfying the injectivity condition, showing that their equivariant unitary bordism classes completely determine their omniorientation-preserving equivariant homeomorphism types. Thus, equivariant bordism provides a topological framework for detecting geometric and combinatorial rigidity.

Bounded cohomology, Codimension two submanifolds and Pontryagin-Thom constructions

In this note we develop a novel approach for proving the non-vanishing of bounded cohomology. This utilizes a splitting argument whose simplest form is as follows: Let M denote an n-manifold of non-zero simplicial volume and N a codimension two submanifold of M, then one can conclude that the n-th bounded cohomology of the fundamental group of M \ N is non-zero. We then translate the existence of a complement with a given fundamental group into an easily accessible homology computation, which might be of independent interest.

Partition functors and universal exponential relations

We introduce partition functors: algebraic structures indexed by partitions of finite sets and equipped with restriction and transfer maps along refinements. We construct a monad PD on the category of partition functors and on several categories of partition functors with additional multiplicative structure. For a partition ring, exponential elements in its associated completed ring of symmetric functions acquire canonical logarithms after applying PD. This gives rise to a universal exponential relation between multiplicative and additive power operations. For representation rings this can be used to recover the classical relation between symmetric powers and Adams operations, while for Morava E-theory it can be used to recover Ganter's exponential relation between symmetric powers and Hecke operators. We show that the representation rings of products of symmetric groups form the initial partition ring and that, for symmetric monoidal partition functors, the monad PD is closely related to symmetric invariant tensors and the divided power envelope. We also construct a symmetric monoidal partition ring carrying the universal exponential element, so that its image under PD carries the universal exponential relation.
