Families of diffeomorphisms, embeddings, and positive scalar curvature metrics via Seiberg-Witten theory

Dave Auckly, Daniel Ruberman

We construct infinite rank summands isomorphic to in the higher homotopy and homology groups of the diffeomorphism groups of certain -manifolds. These spheri…

Exotic families of embeddings

Dave Auckly, Daniel Ruberman

We construct a number of topologically trivial but smoothly non-trivial families of embeddings of 3-manifolds in 4-manifolds. These include embeddings of homology spheres in …

Exotic aspherical 4-manifolds

Michael Davis, Kyle Hayden, Jingyin Huang +2

We construct closed, aspherical, smooth 4-manifolds that are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic. These provide counterexamples to a smooth analog of the Borel conjecture in dimensi…

Simple groups and complements of smooth surfaces in simply connected -manifolds

Sam Hughes, Daniel Ruberman

For each integer we construct an oriented closed simply connected -manifold admitting a smoothly embedded closed connected surface of self-intersection number su…

The Conformal Laplacian and Positive Scalar Curvature Metrics on Manifolds with Boundary

Steven Rosenberg, Daniel Ruberman, Jie Xu

We give examples of spin -manifolds with boundary such that the boundary has a positive scalar curvature metric which cannot be extended to a posit…

Wall's stable realization for diffeomorphisms of definite 4-manifolds

Daniel Ruberman, Sašo Strle

Let be a smooth simply connected closed 4-manifold with definite intersection form. We show that any automorphism of the intersection form of is realized by a diffeomorphis…
