Applying rational surgery, the problem can be reduced to finding possible Pontryagin numbers satisfying the Hirzebruch signature formula and a set of congruence relations, which turns out to be equivalent to finding solutions to a system of Diophantine equations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-01-17T05:30:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57R20", "57R65", "57R67" ], "keywords": [ "projective plane", "rational analogs", "rational homotopy type resembles", "hirzebruch signature formula", "pontryagin numbers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.3274S" } } }
