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…
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…
Homotopical Intersection Theory, II: equivariance
John R. Klein, Bruce Williams
This is the second in a series of papers. Here we develop here an intersection theory for manifolds equipped with an action of a finite group. As in our previous paper, our approac…
Smooth parametrized torsion -- a manifold approach
Bernard Badzioch, Wojciech Dorabiala, Bruce Williams
We give a construction of a torsion invariant of bundles of smooth manifolds which is based on the work of Dwyer, Weiss and Williams on smooth structures on fibrations.
