Determination of bounds on the dimension of manifolds with involutions fixing $F^n\cup F^4$

Let $M^m$ be an $m$-dimensional, smooth and closed manifold, equipped with a smooth involution $T\colon M^m \to M^m$ fixing submanifolds $F^n$ and $F^4$ of dimensions $n$ and $4$, respectively, where $4<n<m$ and $F^n\cup F^4$ does not bound. We determine the upper bound for $m$, for each $n$. The existence of these bounds is ensured by the famous Five Halves Theorem of J. Boardman, which establishes that, under the above hypotheses, $m\leqslant\frac{5}{2}n$.

A note on embedding of achiral Lefschetz fibrations

We discuss $4$-dimensional achiral Lefschetz fibrations bounding $3$-dimensional open books and study their Lefschetz fibration (LF) embedding in a bounded $6$-dimensional manifold, in the sense of Ghanwat--Pancholi. As an application we give another proof of the fact that every closed orientable $4$-manifold embeds in $S^2 \times S^2 \times S^2$ . We also show that every achiral Lefschetz fibration with hyperelliptic monodromy admits LF embedding in $D^6 = D^2 \times D^4$ and discuss an obstruction to such LF embeddings.

On open books and embedding of smooth and contact manifolds

We discuss embedding of manifolds in the category of open books, contact manifolds and contact open books. We prove an open book version of the Haefliger--Hirsch embedding theorem by showing that every $k$-connected closed $n$-manifold ($n\geq 7$, $k < \frac{n-4}{2}$) admits an open book embedding in the trivial open book of $\mathbb{S}^{2n-k}$. We then prove that every closed manifold $M^{2n+1}$ that bounds an achiral Lefschetz fibration, admits open book embedding in the trivial open book of $\mathbb{S}^{2\lfloor\frac{3n}{2}\rfloor + 3}$. We also prove that every closed manifold $M^{2n+1}$ bounding an achiral Lefschetz fibration admits a contact structure that isocontact embeds in the standard contact structure on $\mathbb{R}^{2n+3}.$ Finally, we give various examples of contact open book embeddings of contact $(2n+1)$-manifolds in the trivial supporting open book of the standard contact structure on $\mathbb{S}^{4n+1}.$
