    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 52, Number 4, October 2015, Pages 603–609 http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/bull/1508 Article electronically published on July 1, 2015 COMMENTARY ON THE KERVAIRE–MILNOR CORRESPONDENCE 1958–1961 ANDREW RANICKI AND CLAUDE WEBER Abstract. The extant letters exchanged between Kervaire and Milnor during their collaboration from 1958–1961 concerned their work on the classification of exotic spheres, culminating in their 1963 Annals of Mathematics paper. Michel Kervaire died in 2007; for an account of his life, see the obituary by Shalom Eliahou, Pierre de la Harpe, Jean-Claude Hausmann, and Claude We- ber in the September 2008 issue of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society. The letters were made public at the 2009 Kervaire Memorial Confer- ence in Geneva. Their publication in this issue of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society is preceded by our commentary on these letters, provid- ing some historical background. Letter 1. From Milnor, 22 August 1958 Kervaire and Milnor both attended the International Congress of Mathemati- cians held in Edinburgh, 14–21 August 1958. Milnor gave an invited half-hour talk on Bernoulli numbers, homotopy groups, and a theorem of Rohlin,andKer- vaire gave a talk in the short communications section on Non-parallelizability of the n-sphere for n>7 (see [2]). In this letter written immediately after the Congress, Milnor invites Kervaire to join him in writing up the lecture he gave at the Con- gress. The joint paper appeared in the Proceedings of the ICM as [10]. Milnor’s name is listed first (contrary to the tradition in mathematics) since it was he who was invited to deliver a talk.

    ISOPARAMETRIC FUNCTIONS ON EXOTIC SPHERES CHAO QIAN AND ZIZHOU TANG Abstract. This paper extends widely the work in [GT13]. Existence and non-existence results of isoparametric functions on exotic spheres and Eells-Kuiper projective planes are established. In particular, every homotopy n-sphere (n > 4) carries an isoparametric function (with certain metric) with 2 points as the focal set, in strong contrast to the classification of cohomogeneity one actions on homotopy spheres [St96] ( only exotic Kervaire spheres admit cohomogeneity one actions besides the standard spheres ). As an application, we improve a beautiful result of B´erard-Bergery [BB77] ( see also pp.234-235 of [Be78] ). 1. Introduction Let N be a connected complete Riemannian manifold. A non-constant smooth function f on N is called transnormal, if there exists a smooth function b : R R such that f 2 = → |∇ | b( f ), where f is the gradient of f . If in addition, there exists a continuous function a : ∇ R R so that f = a( f ), where f is the Laplacian of f , then f is called isoparametric. → △ △ Each regular level hypersurface is called an isoparametric hypersurface and the singular level set is called the focal set. The two equations of the function f mean that the regular level hypersurfaces of f are parallel and have constant mean curvatures, which may be regarded as a geometric generalization of cohomogeneity one actions in the theory of transformation groups ( ref. [GT13] ). Owing to E. Cartan and H. F. M¨unzner [M¨u80], the classification of isoparametric hy- persurfaces in a unit sphere has been one of the most challenging problems in submanifold geometry.

  • EXOTIC SPHERES and CURVATURE 1. Introduction Exotic
    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 45, Number 4, October 2008, Pages 595–616 S 0273-0979(08)01213-5 Article electronically published on July 1, 2008 EXOTIC SPHERES AND CURVATURE M. JOACHIM AND D. J. WRAITH Abstract. Since their discovery by Milnor in 1956, exotic spheres have pro- vided a fascinating object of study for geometers. In this article we survey what is known about the curvature of exotic spheres. 1. Introduction Exotic spheres are manifolds which are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to a standard sphere. In this introduction our aims are twofold: First, to give a brief account of the discovery of exotic spheres and to make some general remarks about the structure of these objects as smooth manifolds. Second, to outline the basics of curvature for Riemannian manifolds which we will need later on. In subsequent sections, we will explore the interaction between topology and geometry for exotic spheres. We will use the term differentiable to mean differentiable of class C∞,and all diffeomorphisms will be assumed to be smooth. As every graduate student knows, a smooth manifold is a topological manifold that is equipped with a smooth (differentiable) structure, that is, a smooth maximal atlas. Recall that an atlas is a collection of charts (homeomorphisms from open neighbourhoods in the manifold onto open subsets of some Euclidean space), the domains of which cover the manifold. Where the chart domains overlap, we impose a smooth compatibility condition for the charts [doC, chapter 0] if we wish our manifold to be smooth. Such an atlas can then be extended to a maximal smooth atlas by including all possible charts which satisfy the compatibility condition with the original maps.

  • The Vile, Dopy, Evil and Odious Game Players
    The vile, dopy, evil and odious game players Aviezri S. Fraenkel¤ Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Weizmann Institute of Science Rehovot 76100, Israel February 7, 2010 Wil: We have worked and published jointly, for example on graph focality. Now that one of us is already an octogenarian and the other is only a decade away, let's have some fun; let's play a game. Gert: I'm game. Wil: In the Fall 2009 issue of the MSRI gazette Emissary, Elwyn Berlekamp and Joe Buhler proposed the following puzzle: \Nathan and Peter are playing a game. Nathan always goes ¯rst. The players take turns changing a positive integer to a smaller one and then passing the smaller number back to their op- ponent. On each move, a player may either subtract one from the integer or halve it, rounding down if necessary. Thus, from 28 the legal moves are to 27 or to 14; from 27, the legal moves are to 26 or to 13. The game ends when the integer reaches 0. The player who makes the last move wins. For example, if the starting integer is 15, a legal sequence of moves might be to 7, then 6, then 3, then 2, then 1, and then to 0. (In this sample game one of the players could have played better!) Assuming both Nathan and Peter play according to the best possible strategy, who will win if the starting integer is 1000? 2000?" Let's dub it the Mark game, since it's due to Mark Krusemeyer according to Berlekamp and Buhler.
