Infinite families of very exotic spheres with free - and -actions
Tilman Bauer, J. D. Quigley
There are two kinds of exotic spheres: bp spheres, which bound parallelizable manifolds, and non-bp spheres, or very exotic spheres, which do not. In the 1960s, W.-C. Hsiang showed…
The U(1)-topological elliptic genus is surjective
Tilman Bauer, Mayuko Yamashita
We show that the topological elliptic genus from the cobordism ring of SU-manifolds to topological Jacobi forms lifts to connective topological Jacobi forms, and that this lift is…
Topological Jacobi Forms
Tilman Bauer, Lennart Meier
As a generalization of the ring spectrum of topological modular forms, we construct a graded ring spectrum of topological Jacobi forms, . This is constructed…
Graded -polar rings and the homology of
Tilman Bauer
As an extension of previous ungraded work, we define a graded -polar ring to be an analog of a graded commutative ring where multiplication is only allowed on -tuples (instea…
