2.3 Examples of Manifolds 21 2.3 Examples of Manifolds We will now discuss some basic examples of manifolds. In each case, the manifold structure is given by a finite atlas; hence the countability property is immediate. We will not spend too much time on verifying the Hausdorff property; while it may be done ‘by hand’, we will later have better ways of doing this. 2.3.1 Spheres The construction of an atlas for the 2-sphere S2, by stereographic projection, also works for the n-sphere Sn = (x0,...,xn) (x0)2 + +(xn)2 = 1 . { | ··· } Let U be the subsets obtained by removing ( 1,0,...,0). Stereographic projection ± ⌥ defines bijections j : U Rn, where j (x0, x1,...,xn)=(u1,...,un) with ± ± ! ± xi ui = . 1 x0 ± For the transition function one finds (writing u =(u1,...,un)) 1 u (j j+− )(u)= . − ◦ u 2 || || We leave it as an exercise to check the details. An equivalent atlas, with 2n+2 charts, + + is given by the subsets U0 ,...,Un ,U0−,...,Un− where + n j n j U = x S x > 0 , U− = x S x < 0 j { 2 | } j { 2 | } n for j = 0,...,n, with j± : U± R the projection to the j-th coordinate plane (in j j ! other words, omitting the j-th component x j): 0 n 0 j 1 j+1 n j±j (x ,...,x )=(x ,...,x − ,x ,...,x ). 2.3.2 Real projective spaces The n-dimensional projective space RPn, is the set of all lines ` Rn+1. It may also ✓ be regarded as a quotient space‡ n n+ RP =(R 1 0 )/ \{ } ⇠ for the equivalence relation x x0 l R 0 : x0 = lx. ⇠ ,9 2 \{ } ‡ See the appendix to this chapter for some background on quotient spaces. 22 2 Manifolds n+1 Indeed, any x R 0 determines a line, while two points x,x0 determine the 2 \{ } same line if and only if they agree up to a non-zero scalar multiple. The equivalence class of x =(x0,...,xn) under this relation is commonly denoted [x]=(x0 : ...: xn). RPn has a standard atlas A = (U ,j ),...,(U ,j ) { 0 0 n n } defined as follows. For j = 0,...,n, let 0 n n j Uj = (x : ...: x ) RP x = 0 { 2 | 6 } be the set for which the j-th coordinate is non-zero, and put 0 j 1 j+1 n n 0 n x x − x x j j : Uj R , (x : ...: x ) ( ,..., , ,..., ). ! 7! x j x j x j x j This is well-defined, since the quotients do not change when all xi are multiplied by a fixed scalar. Put differently, given an element [x] RPn for which the j-th component 2 x j is non-zero, we first rescale the representative x to make the j-th component equal to 1, and then use the remaining components as our coordinates. As an example (with n = 2), 7 2 7 2 j (7:3:2)=j :1: = , . 1 1 3 3 3 3 n From this description, it is immediate that j j is a bijection from Uj onto R , with inverse map 1 1 n 1 j j+1 n j−j (u ,...,u )=(u : ...: u :1:u : ...: u ). n n+1 n Geometrically, viewing RP as the set of lines in R , the subset Uj RP ✓ consists of those lines ` which intersect the affine hyperplane n+1 j Hj = x R x = 1 , { 2 | } and the map j j takes such a line ` to its unique point of intersection ` Hj, followed n j \ by the identification Hj = R (dropping the coordinate x = 1). ⇠ n Let us verify that A is indeed an atlas. Clearly, the domains Uj cover RP , since any element [x] RPn has at least one of its components non-zero. For i = j, the 2 6 intersection U U consists of elements x with the property that both components i \ j xi, x j are non-zero. 1 Exercise 8. Compute the transition maps ji j− , and verify they are smooth. (Hint: You will need to distinguish between the cases and .) i j i j > ◦ j < To complete the proof that this atlas (or the unique maximal atlas containing it) defines a manifold structure, it remains to check the Hausdorff property. This can be done with the help of Lemma 2.2, but we postpone the proof since we will soon have a simple argument in terms of smooth functions. See Proposition 3.1 below. 2.3 Examples of Manifolds 23 Remark 2.4. In low dimensions, we have that RP0 is just a point, while RP1 is a circle. n+1 Remark 2.5. Geometrically, Ui consists of all lines in R meeting the affine hyper- plane Hi, hence its complement consists of all lines that are parallel to Hi, i.e., the i n 1 lines in the coordinate subspace defined by x = 0. The set of such lines is RP − . In n n 1 other words, the complement of Ui in RP is identified with RP − . Thus, as sets, RPn is a disjoint union n n n 1 RP = R RP − , t n n 1 where R is identified (by the coordinate map ji) with the open subset Un, and RP − with its complement. Inductively, we obtain a decomposition n n n 1 0 RP = R R − R R , t t···t t where R0 = 0 . At this stage, it is simply a decomposition into subsets; later it will { } be recognized as a decomposition into submanifolds. Exercise 9. Find an identification of the space of rotations in R3 with the 3- 3 samedimensional rotation.) projective space RP . || || − p determined by . Note that for , the vectors and determine the v v v v = 6 || || rotation, if 0, take the rotation by an angle around the oriented axis v v = 2 R (Hint: Associate to any a rotation, as follows: If 0, take the trivial v v = 3 2.3.3 Complex projective spaces In a similar fashion to the real projective space, one can define a complex projective space CPn as the set of complex 1-dimensional subspaces of Cn+1. If we identify C with R2, thus Cn+1 with R2n+2, we have n n+ CP =(C 1 0 )/ \{ } ⇠ where the equivalence relation is z z if and only if there exists a complex l with ⇠ 0 z0 = lz. (Note that the scalar l is then unique, and is non-zero.) Alternatively, letting S2n+1 Cn+1 = R2n+2 be the ‘unit sphere’ consisting of complex vectors of length ✓ z = 1, we have || || n n+ CP = S2 1/ , ⇠ where z z if and only if there exists a complex number l with z = lz. (Note that 0 ⇠ 0 the scalar l is then unique, and has absolute value 1.) One defines charts (Uj,j j) similarly to those for the real projective space: 0 n j n 2n Uj = (z : ...: z ) z = 0 , j j : Uj C = R , | 6 ! 24 2 Manifolds z0 z j 1 z j+1 zn j (z0 : ...: zn)= ,..., − , ,..., . j z j z j z j z j ⇣ ⌘ The transition maps between charts are given by similar formulas as for RPn (just replace x with z); they are smooth maps between open subsets of Cn = R2n. Thus n n CP is a smooth manifold of dimension 2n§. As with RP there is a decomposition n n n 1 0 CP = C C − C C . t t···t t 2.3.4 Grassmannians The set Gr(k,n) of all k-dimensional subspaces of Rn is called the Grassmannian of k-planes in Rn. (Named after Hermann Grassmann (1809-1877).) n 1 As a special case, Gr(1,n)=RP − . We will show that for general k, the Grassmannian is a manifold of dimension dim(Gr(k,n)) = k(n k). − An atlas for Gr(k,n) may be constructed as follows. The idea is to present linear k n k k subspaces of dimension k as graphs of linear maps from R to R − . Here R is viewed as the coordinate subspace corresponding to a choice of k components from 1 n n n k x =(x ,...,x ) R , and R − the coordinate subspace for the remaining coordi- 2 nates. To make it precise, we introduce some notation. For any subset I 1,...,n of the set of indices, let ✓{ } I0 = 1,...,n I { }\ be its complement. Let RI Rn be the coordinate subspace ✓ I n i R = x R x = 0 for all i I0 . { 2 | 2 } I I I If I has cardinality I = k, then R Gr(k,n). Note that R 0 =(R )?. Let | | 2 I0 UI = E Gr(k,n) E R = 0 . { 2 | \ { }} § The transition maps are not only smooth but even holomorphic, making CPn into an exam- ple of a complex manifold (of complex dimension n). 2.3 Examples of Manifolds 25 I I Each E UI is described as the graph of a unique linear map AI : R R 0 , 2 ! that is, I E = y + AI(y) y R . { | 2 } Exercise 10. Let E be as above. Show that there is a unique linear map AI : I I I R R 0 such that E = y + AI(y) y R . ! { | 2 } This gives a bijection I I0 jI : UI Hom(R ,R ), E jI(E)=AI, ! 7! where Hom(F,F0) denotes the space of linear maps from a vector space F to a vector I I k(n k) I I space F0. Note Hom(R ,R 0 ) = R − , because the bases of R and R 0 identify the ⇠ k(n k) space of linear maps with (n k) k-matrices, which in turn is just R − by listing − ⇥ the matrix entries.

    An Introduction to Topology the Classification Theorem for Surfaces by E

    An Introduction to Topology An Introduction to Topology The Classification theorem for Surfaces By E. C. Zeeman Introduction. The classification theorem is a beautiful example of geometric topology. Although it was discovered in the last century*, yet it manages to convey the spirit of present day research. The proof that we give here is elementary, and its is hoped more intuitive than that found in most textbooks, but in none the less rigorous. It is designed for readers who have never done any topology before. It is the sort of mathematics that could be taught in schools both to foster geometric intuition, and to counteract the present day alarming tendency to drop geometry. It is profound, and yet preserves a sense of fun. In Appendix 1 we explain how a deeper result can be proved if one has available the more sophisticated tools of analytic topology and algebraic topology. Examples. Before starting the theorem let us look at a few examples of surfaces. In any branch of mathematics it is always a good thing to start with examples, because they are the source of our intuition. All the following pictures are of surfaces in 3-dimensions. In example 1 by the word “sphere” we mean just the surface of the sphere, and not the inside. In fact in all the examples we mean just the surface and not the solid inside. 1. Sphere. 2. Torus (or inner tube). 3. Knotted torus. 4. Sphere with knotted torus bored through it. * Zeeman wrote this article in the mid-twentieth century. 1 An Introduction to Topology 5.

The interest of projective geometry arises in several visual comput- ing domains, in particular computer vision modelling and computer graphics. It provides a mathematical formalism to describe the geometry of cameras and the associated transformations, hence enabling the design of computational ap- proaches that manipulates 2D projections of 3D objects. In that respect, a fundamental aspect is the fact that objects at infinity can be represented and manipulated with projective geometry and this in contrast to the Euclidean geometry. This allows perspective deformations to be represented as projective transformations. Figure 1.1: Example of perspective deformation or 2D projective transforma- tion. Another argument is that Euclidean geometry is sometimes difficult to use in algorithms, with particular cases arising from non-generic situations (e.g.

APPLICATIONS: The Holley LS Race single-plane intake manifolds are designed for GM LS Gen III and IV engines, utilized in numerous performance applications, and are intended for carbureted, throttle body EFI, or direct-port EFI setups. The LS Race single-plane intake manifolds are designed for hi-performance/racing engine applications, 5.3 to 6.2+ liter displacement, and maximum engine speeds of 6000-7000 rpm, depending on the engine combination. This single-plane design provides optimal performance across the RPM spectrum while providing maximum performance up to 7000 rpm. These intake manifolds are for use on non-emissions controlled applications only, and will not accept stock components and hardware. Port EFI versions may not be compatible with all throttle body linkages. When installing the throttle body, make certain there is a minimum of ¼” clearance between all linkage and the fuel rail. SPLIT DESIGN: The Holley LS Race manifold incorporates a split feature, which allows disassembly of the intake for direct access to internal plenum and port surfaces, making custom porting and matching a snap.

    RESIDUES FORMULAS FOR THE PUSH-FORWARD IN K-THEORY, THE CASE OF G2=P . ANDRZEJ WEBER AND MAGDALENA ZIELENKIEWICZ Abstract. We study residue formulas for push-forward in the equivariant K-theory of homogeneous spaces. For the classical Grassmannian the residue formula can be obtained from the cohomological formula by a substitution. We also give another proof using sym- plectic reduction and the method involving the localization theorem of Jeffrey–Kirwan. We review formulas for other classical groups, and we derive them from the formulas for the classical Grassmannian. Next we consider the homogeneous spaces for the exceptional group G2. One of them, G2=P2 corresponding to the shorter root, embeds in the Grass- mannian Gr(2; 7). We find its fundamental class in the equivariant K-theory KT(Gr(2; 7)). This allows to derive a residue formula for the push-forward. It has significantly different character comparing to the classical groups case. The factor involving the fundamen- tal class of G2=P2 depends on the equivariant variables. To perform computations more efficiently we apply the basis of K-theory consisting of Grothendieck polynomials. The residue formula for push-forward remains valid for the homogeneous space G2=B as well. 1. Introduction ∗ r Suppose an algebraic torus T = (C ) acts on a complex variety X which is smooth and complete. Let E be an equivariant complex vector bundle over X. Then E defines an element of the equivariant K-theory of X. In our setting there is no difference whether one considers the algebraic K-theory or the topological one.

    Filtering Grassmannian Cohomology Via K-Schur Functions

    FILTERING GRASSMANNIAN COHOMOLOGY VIA K-SCHUR FUNCTIONS THE 2020 POLYMATH JR. \Q-B-AND-G" GROUPy Abstract. This paper is concerned with studying the Hilbert Series of the subalgebras of the cohomology rings of the complex Grassmannians and La- grangian Grassmannians. We build upon a previous conjecture by Reiner and Tudose for the complex Grassmannian and present an analogous conjecture for the Lagrangian Grassmannian. Additionally, we summarize several poten- tial approaches involving Gr¨obnerbases, homological algebra, and algebraic topology. Then we give a new interpretation to the conjectural expression for the complex Grassmannian by utilizing k-conjugation. This leads to two conjectural bases that would imply the original conjecture for the Grassman- nian. Finally, we comment on how this new approach foreshadows the possible existence of analogous k-Schur functions in other Lie types. Contents 1. Introduction2 2. Conjectures3 2.1.

FIXED POINT FREE INVOLUTIONS ON COHOMOLOGY PROJECTIVE SPACES HEMANT KUMAR SINGH1 AND TEJ BAHADUR SINGH Department of Mathematics, University of Delhi, Delhi 110 007, India e-mail: tej b [email protected] (Received 22 September 2006; after final revision 24 January 2008; accepted 14 February 2008) Let X be a finitistic space with the mod 2 cohomology ring isomorphic to that of CP n, n odd. In this paper, we determine the mod 2 cohomology ring of the orbit space of a fixed point free involution on X. This gives a classification of cohomology type of spaces with the fundamental group Z2 and the covering space a complex projective space. Moreover, we show that there exists no equivariant map Sm ! X for m > 2 relative to the antipodal action on Sm. An analogous result is obtained for a fixed point free involution on a mod 2 cohomology real projective space. Key Words: Projective space; free action; cohomology algebra; spectral sequence 1. INTRODUCTION Suppose that a topological group G acts (continuously) on a topological space X. Associated with the transformation group (G; X) are two new spaces: The fixed point set XG = fx²Xjgx = x; for all g²Gg and the orbit space X=G whose elements are the orbits G(x) = fgxjg²Gg and the topology is induced by the natural projection ¼ : X ! X=G; x ! G(x). If X and Y are G-spaces, then an equivariant map from X to Y is a continuous map Á : X ! Y such that gÁ(x) = Ág(x) for all g²G; x 2 X.
