In this paper, we will be concerned with the explicit classification of closed, oriented, simply-connected spin manifolds in dimension eight with vanishing cohomology in the odd dimensions. The study of such manifolds was begun by Stefan Muller. In order to understand the structure of these manifolds, we will analyze their minimal handle presentations and describe explicitly to what extent these handle presentations are determined by the cohomology ring and the characteristic classes. It turns out that the cohomology ring and the characteristic classes do not suffice to reconstruct a manifold of the above type completely. In fact, the group ${rm Aut_0}bigl(#_{i=1}^b(S^2times S^5)bigr)/{rm Aut}_0bigl(#_{i=1}^b (S^2times D^6)bigr)$ of automorphisms of $#_{i=1}^b(S^2times S^5)$ which induce the identity on cohomology modulo those which extend to $#_{i=1}^b(S^2times D^6)$ acts on the set of oriented homeomorphy classes of manifolds with fixed cohomology ring and characteristic classes, and we will be also concerned with describing this group and some facts about the above action.

We study finite type invariants of nullhomologous knots in a closed 3-manifold $M$ defined in terms of certain descending filtration ${mathscr{K}_n(M)}_{ngeq 0}$ of the vector space $mathscr{K}(M)$ spanned by isotopy classes of nullhomologous knots in $M$. The filtration ${mathscr{K}_n(M)}_{n geq 0}$ is defined by surgeries on special kinds of claspers in $M$ having one special leaf. More precisely, when $M$ is fibered over $S^1$ and $H_1(M)=mathbb{Z}$, we study how far the natural surgery map from the space of $mathbb{Q}[t^{pm 1}]$-colored Jacobi diagrams on $S^1$ of degree $n$ to the graded quotient $mathscr{K}_n(M)/mathscr{K}_{n+1}(M)$ can be injective for $nleq 2$. To do this, we construct a finite type invariant of nullhomologous knots in $M$ up to degree 2 that is an analogue of the invariant given in our previous paper arXiv:1503.08735, which is based on Lescops construction of $mathbb{Z}$-equivariant perturbative invariant of 3-manifolds.
In this paper we show that the strict and lax pullbacks of a 2-categorical opfibration along an arbitrary 2-functor are homotopy equivalent. We give two applications. First, we show that the strict fibers of an opfibration model the homotopy fibers. This is a version of Quillens Theorem B amenable to applications. Second, we compute the $E^2$ page of a homology spectral sequence associated to an opfibration and apply this machinery to a 2-categorical construction of $S^{-1}S$. We show that if $S$ is a symmetric monoidal 2-groupoid with faithful translations then $S^{-1}S$ models the group completion of $S$.
We prove that for 4-manifolds $M$ with residually finite fundamental group and non-spin universal covering $Wi M$, the inequality $dim_{mc}Wi Mle 3$ implies the inequality $dim_{mc}Wi Mle 2$.
This is a collection of notes on embedding problems for 3-manifolds. The main question explored is `which 3-manifolds embed smoothly in the 4-sphere? The terrain of exploration is the Burton/Martelli/Matveev/Petronio census of triangulated prime closed 3-manifolds built from 11 or less tetrahedra. There are 13766 manifolds in the census, of which 13400 are orientable. Of the 13400 orientable manifolds, only 149 of them have hyperbolic torsion linking forms and are thus candidates for embedability in the 4-sphere. The majority of this paper is devoted to the embedding problem for these 149 manifolds. At present 41 are known to embed. Among the remaining manifolds, embeddings into homotopy 4-spheres are constructed for 4. 67 manifolds are known to not embed in the 4-sphere. This leaves 37 unresolved cases, of which only 3 are geometric manifolds i.e. having a trivial JSJ-decomposition.
We apply Lescops construction of $mathbb{Z}$-equivariant perturbative invariant of knots and 3-manifolds to the explicit equivariant propagator of AL-paths given in arXiv:1403.8030. We obtain an invariant $hat{Z}_n$ of certain equivalence classes of fiberwise Morse functions on a 3-manifold fibered over $S^1$, which can be considered as a higher loop analogue of the Lefschetz zeta function and whose construction will be applied to that of finite type invariants of knots in such a 3-manifold. We also give a combinatorial formula for Lescops equivariant invariant $mathscr{Q}$ for 3-manifolds with $H_1=mathbb{Z}$ fibered over $S^1$. Moreover, surgery formulas of $hat{Z}_n$ and $mathscr{Q}$ for alternating sums of surgeries are given. This gives another proof of Lescops surgery formula of $mathscr{Q}$ for special kind of 3-manifolds and surgeries, which is simple in the sense that the formula is obtained easily by counting certain graphs in a 3-manifold.
