tmf Is Not a Ring Spectrum Quotient of String Bordism
Carl McTague
This paper shows that is not a ring spectrum quotient of . In fact, for any prime and any sequence of homogeneous ele…
The Cayley plane and String bordism
Carl McTague
This paper shows that, away from 6, the kernel of the Witten genus is precisely the ideal consisting of (bordism classes of) Cayley plane bundles with connected structure group, bu…
The Cayley Plane and the Witten Genus
Carl McTague
This paper defines a new genus, the Cayley plane genus. By definition it is the universal multiplicative genus for oriented Cayley plane bundles. The main result (Theorem 2) is tha…
Stiefel-Whitney Numbers for Singular Varieties
Carl McTague
This paper determines which Stiefel-Whitney numbers can be defined for singular varieties compatibly with small resolutions. First an upper bound is found by identifying the F_2-ve…
