The strong program in embodied cognitive science

G Sanches de Oliveira - Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, 2023 - Springer
A popular trend in the sciences of the mind is to understand cognition as embodied,
embedded, enactive, ecological, and so on. While some of the work under the label of …

Extra-twisted connected sum G_2-manifolds

J Nordström - arXiv preprint arXiv:1809.09083, 2018 - arxiv.org
We present a construction of closed 7-manifolds of holonomy G_2, which generalises
Kovalev's twisted connected sums by taking quotients of the pieces in the construction …

Cohomogeneity one manifolds with quasipositive curvature

D Wulle - Mathematische Annalen, 2024 - Springer
In this paper, we give a classification of cohomogeneity one manifolds admitting an invariant
metric with quasipositive sectional curvature except for two 7-dimensional families. The main …

On the moduli space of nonnegatively curved metrics on Milnor spheres

A Dessai - arXiv preprint arXiv:1712.08821, 2017 - arxiv.org
Let $ M $ be a Milnor sphere or, more generally, the total space of a linear $ S^ 3$-bundle
over $ S^ 4$ with $ H^ 4 (M;\mathbb {Q})= 0$. We show that the moduli space of metrics of …

Zero entropy on entire Grauert tubes

P Suárez-Serrato - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.05685, 2024 - arxiv.org
On a real analytic Riemannian manifold a Grauert tube is an uniquely adapted complex
structure defined on the tangent bundle. It is called entire if it may be defined on the whole …
