Automorphisms of Manifolds and Algebraic K-Theory: Part III
Michael S. Weiss, E. Bruce Williams
The structure space S(M) of a closed topological m-manifold M classifies bundles whose fibers are closed m-manifolds equipped with a homotopy equivalence to M. We construct a highl…
Homotopical Intersection Theory, III: multi-relative intersection problems
John R. Klein, Bruce Williams
This paper extends some results of Hatcher and Quinn beyond the metastable range. We give a bordism theoretic obstruction to deforming a map between manifolds simultaneously off of…
Exotic smooth structures on topological fibre bundles I
Sebastian Goette, Kiyoshi Igusa, Bruce Williams
When two smooth manifold bundles over the same base are fiberwise tangentially homeomorphic, the difference is measured by a homology class in the total space of the bundle. We cal…
Exotic smooth structures on topological fibre bundles II
Sebastian Goette, Kiyoshi Igusa
We use a variation of a classical construction of A. Hatcher to construct virtually all stable exotic smooth structures on compact smooth manifold bundles whose fibers have suffici…
Smoothing theory revisited
John R. Klein, Bruce Williams
We give a concise proof of the fundamental theorem of smoothing theory in the special case when a smoothing exists.
Equivalence of higher torsion invariants
Bernard Badzioch, Wojciech Dorabiala, John R. Klein +1
We show that the smooth torsion of bundles of manifolds constructed by Dwyer, Weiss, and Williams satisfies the axioms for higher torsion developed by Igusa. As a consequence we ob…
