The topology of Stein fillable manifolds in high dimensions I
Jonathan Bowden, Diarmuid Crowley, András I. Stipsicz
We give a bordism-theoretic characterisation of those closed almost contact (2q+1)-manifolds (with q > 2) which admit a Stein fillable contact structure. Our method is to apply Eli…
Finite group actions on Kervaire manifolds
Diarmuid Crowley, Ian Hambleton
The (4k+2)-dimensional Kervaire manifold is a closed, piecewise linear (PL) manifold with Kervaire invariant 1 and the same homology as the product of two (2k+1)-dimensional sphere…
Contact structures on M \times S^2
Jonathan Bowden, Diarmuid Crowley, András I. Stipsicz
We show that if a manifold M admits a contact structure, then so does M\times S^2. Our proof relies on surgery theory, a theorem of Eliashberg on contact surgery and a theorem of B…
