Sphere bundle

In the mathematical field of topology, a sphere bundle is a fiber bundle in which the fibers are spheres of some dimension n. Similarly, in a disk bundle, the fibers are disks . From a topological perspective, there is no difference between sphere bundles and disk bundles: this is a consequence of the Alexander trick, which implies An example of a sphere bundle is the torus, which is orientable and has fibers over an base space. The non-orientable Klein bottle also has fibers over an base space, but has a twist that produces a reversal of orientation as one follows the loop around the base space. A circle bundle is a special case of a sphere bundle. (Wikipedia).

What is a Manifold? Lesson 12: Fiber Bundles - Formal Description

This is a long lesson, but it is not full of rigorous proofs, it is just a formal definition. Please let me know where the exposition is unclear. I din't quite get through the idea of the structure group of a fiber bundle fully, but I introduced it. The examples in the next lesson will h

Michael Farber (2/24/22): Topological complexity of spherical bundles

I will start by describing the concept of a parametrized motion planning algorithm which allows to achieve high degree of flexibility and universality. The main part of the talk will focus on the problem of understanding the parametrized topological complexity of sphere bundles. I will exp

Thomas Schick - Scalar curvature rigidity

Many manifolds are (positive) scalar curvature rigid: one can't increase the scalar curvature without shrinking the manifold. The first of these results was established by Llarull (for the round spheres), using spinorial techniques. We discuss the problem and the known solutions, including

One of the most influential results in scalar curvature geometry, due to Gromov-Lawson and Schoen-Yau, is the construction of metrics with positive scalar curvature by surgery. Combined with powerful tools from geometric topology, this has strong implications for the classification of suc
