Every cusp singularity link admits infinitely many strong symplectic fillings

In this paper, we show that if the link of an isolated complex surface singularity is either a $Sol^3$-manifold or an $\widetilde{SL}(2;\mathbb{R})$-manifold with its canonical contact structure, then it admits infinitely many strong symplectic fillings that are pairwise non-diffeomorphic and not related by a sequence of blow-ups or blow-downs. As a consequence, the link of any cusp singularity, exceptional unimodal singularity, or hyperbolic Brieskorn singularity admits infinitely many pairwise non-diffeomorphic minimal strong symplectic fillings.

Classification of orientable torus bundles over closed orientable surfaces

Let $g$ be a non-negative integer, $\Sigma _g$ a closed orientable surface of genus $g$, and $\mathcal{M}_g$ its mapping class group. We classify all the group homomorphisms $\pi _1(\Sigma _g)\to G$ up to the action of $\mathcal{M}_g$ on $\pi _1(\Sigma _g)$ in the following cases; (1) $G=PSL(2;\mathbb{Z})$, (2) $G=SL(2;\mathbb{Z})$. As an application of the case (2), we completely classify orientable $T^2$-bundles over closed orientable surfaces up to bundle isomorphisms. In particular, we show that any orientable $T^2$-bundle over $\Sigma _g$ with $g\geq 1$ is isomorphic to the fiber connected sum of $g$ pieces of $T^2$-bundles over $T^2$. Moreover, the classification result in the case (1) can be generalized into the case where $G$ is the free product of finite number of finite cyclic groups. We also apply it to an extension problem of maps from a closed surface to the connected sum of lens spaces.

Lefschetz fibrations on the Milnor fibers of cusp and simple elliptic singularities

We show that the total space of the Milnor fibration associated with any cusp or simple elliptic singularity in complex three variables admits an $S^1$-parametric genus-one Lefschetz fibration structure over the $2$-disk. As a consequence, we demonstrate that the Lawson type foliations on $S^5$ associated with such singularities can be regarded as the pullback of the Reeb foliation on $S^3$. This enables us to provide an alternative proof of a previous result by the third author, which states that every Lawson type foliation admits a leafwise symplectic structure. Also we see that a pair of such Milnor fibers can be glued together along boundary into a closed oriented 4-manifold exactly when the pair corresponds to one of the ten extended strange duality pairs among the cusp singularities. This gluing is compatible with the Lefschetz fibrations and the resultant 4-manifold is diffeomrphic to a K3 surface.

On the strongly pseudoconcave boundary of a compact complex surface

We establish the method of holomorphic handle attaching to the strongly pseudoconcave boundary of a complex surface. We use this for proving the following statements: (1) every closed connected oriented contact 3-manifold can be filled as the strongly pseudoconcave boundary of a compact complex surface; (2) any two closed connected oriented contact 3-manifolds are complex cobordant. Moreover, we show that such complex surface (or complex cobordism) can be taken Kähler.

CR regular embeddings of $S^{4n-1}$ in $\mathbb{C}^{2n+1}$

Ahern and Rudin have given an explicit construction of a totally real embedding of $S^3$ in $\mathbb{C}^3$. As a generalization of their example, we give an explicit example of a CR regular embedding of $S^{4n-1}$ in $\mathbb{C}^{2n+1}$. Consequently, we show that the odd dimensional sphere $S^{2m-1}$ with $m>1$ admits a CR regular embedding in $\mathbb{C}^{m+1}$ if and only if $m$ is even.

Generic immersions and totally real embeddings

We show that, for a closed orientable n-manifold, with n not congruent to 3 modulo 4, the existence of a CR-regular embedding into complex (n-1)-space ensures the existence of a totally real embedding into complex n-space. This implies that a closed orientable (4k+1)-manifold with non-vanishing Kervaire semi-characteristic possesses no CR-regular embedding into complex 4k-space. We also pay special attention to the cases of CR-regular embeddings of spheres and of simply-connected 5-manifolds.

Non-Kähler complex structures on $R^4$ II

We follow our study of non-Kähler complex structures on $R^4$ that we defined in a previous paper. We prove that these complex surfaces do not admit any smooth complex compactification. Moreover, we give an explicit description of their meromorphic functions. We also prove that the Picard groups of these complex surfaces are uncountable, and give an explicit description of the canonical bundle. Finally, we show that any connected non-compact oriented 4-manifold admits complex structures without Kähler metrics.

Knots and links of complex tangents

It is shown that every knot or link is the set of complex tangents of a 3-sphere smoothly embedded in the three-dimensional complex space. We show in fact that a one-dimensional submanifold of a closed orientable 3-manifold can be realised as the set of complex tangents of a smooth embedding of the 3-manifold into the three-dimensional complex space if and only if it represents the trivial integral homology class in the 3-manifold. The proof involves a new application of singularity theory of differentiable maps.

Non-Kähler complex structures on $R^4$

We construct the first examples of non-Kähler complex structures on $R^4$. These complex surfaces have some analogies with the complex structures constructed in early Fifties by Calabi and Eckmann on the products of two odd-dimensional spheres. However, our construction is quite different from that of Calabi and Eckmann.

On embeddings of almost complex manifolds in almost complex Euclidean spaces

We prove that any compact almost complex manifold $(M, J)$ of real dimension $2m$ admits a pseudo-holomorphic embedding in a Euclidean space of dimension $4m + 2$, endowed with a suitable non-standard almost complex structure. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition, expressed in terms of the Segre class of $(M, J)$, for the existence of an embedding or an immersion in an almost complex Euclidean $4m$-space. We also discuss the pseudo-holomorphic embeddings of an almost complex 4-manifold in $R^6$.

An obstruction for existence of codimension two contact embeddings in a Darboux chart

We prove the vanishing of the first Chern class of a codimension 2 closed contact submanifold of a cooriented contact manifold with trivial integral 2-dimensional cohomology group. Hence the first Chern class is an obstruction for the existence of codimension 2 contact embeddings in a Darboux chart. For the existence of such an embedding, we prove that a closed cooriented contact 3-manifold can be a contact submanifold of the 5-dimensional Euclidean space for a certain contact structure, if its first Chern class vanishes.
