On genera of polyhedra

Yuriy Drozd, Petro Kolesnyk (2012)

Open Mathematics

We consider the stable homotopy category S of polyhedra (finite cell complexes). We say that two polyhedra X,Y are in the same genus and write X ∼ Y if X p ≅ Y p for all prime p, where X p denotes the image of Xin the localized category S p. We prove that it is equivalent to the stable isomorphism X∨B 0 ≅Y∨B 0, where B 0 is the wedge of all spheres S n such that π nS(X) is infinite. We also prove that a stable isomorphism X ∨ X ≅ Y ∨ X implies a stable isomorphism X ≅ Y.

On localizations of torsion abelian groups

José L. Rodríguez, Jérôme Scherer, Lutz Strüngmann (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

As is well known, torsion abelian groups are not preserved by localization functors. However, Libman proved that the cardinality of LT is bounded by | T | whenever T is torsion abelian and L is a localization functor. In this paper we study localizations of torsion abelian groups and investigate new examples. In particular we prove that the structure of LT is determined by the structure of the localization of the primary components of T in many cases. Furthermore, we completely characterize the relationship...

On the connection between the topological genus of certain polyhedra and the algebraic genus of their Hilton-Hopt quadratic forms.

Imre Bokor (1990)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The Hilton-Hopf quadratic form is defined for spaces of the homotopy type of a CW complex with one cell each in dimensions 0 and 4n, K cells in dimension 2n and no other cells. If two such spaces are of the same topological genus, then their Hilton-Hopf quadratic forms are of the same weak algebraic genus. For large classes of spaces, such as simply connected differentiable 4-manifolds, the converse is also true, as long as the suspensions of the spaces are also of the same topological genus. This...
