Sur l’homologie des groupes orthogonaux et symplectiques à coefficients tordus

Aurélien Djament, Christine Vespa (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

On calcule dans cet article l’homologie stable des groupes orthogonaux et symplectiques sur un corps fini k à coefficients tordus par un endofoncteur usuel F des k -espaces vectoriels (puissance extérieure, symétrique, divisée...). Par homologie stable, on entend, pour tout entier naturel i , les colimites des espaces vectoriels H i ( O n , n ( k ) ; F ( k 2 n ) ) et H i ( Sp 2 n ( k ) ; F ( k 2 n ) ) — dans cette situation, la stabilisation (avec une borne explicite en fonction de i et F ) est un résultat classique de Charney. Tout d’abord, nous donnons un cadre...

The cohomology algebras of orientable Seifert manifolds and applications to Lusternik-Schnirelmann category

J. Bryden, P. Zvengrowski (1998)

Banach Center Publications

This note gives a complete description of the cohomology algebra of any orientable Seifert manifold with ℤ/p coefficients, for an arbitrary prime p. As an application, the existence of a degree one map from an orientable Seifert manifold onto a lens space is completely determined. A second application shows that the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category for a large class of Seifert manifolds is equal to 3, which in turn is used to verify the Ganea conjecture for these Seifert manifolds.

The geometry of abstract groups and their splittings.

Charles Terence Clegg Wall (2003)

Revista Matemática Complutense

A survey of splitting theorems for abstract groups and their applications. Topics covered include preliminaries, early results, Bass-Serre theory, the structure of G-trees, Serre's applications to SL2 and length functions. Stallings' theorem, results about accessibility and bounds for splittability. Duality groups and pairs; results of Eckmann and collaborators on PD2 groups. Relative ends, the JSJ theorems and the splitting results of Kropholler and Roller on PDn groups. Notions of quasi-isometry,...

The Gray filtration on phantom maps

Lê Minh Hà, Jeffrey Strom (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

This paper is a study of the Gray index of phantom maps. We give a new, tower theoretic, definition of the Gray index, which allows us to study the naturality properties of the Gray index in some detail. McGibbon and Roitberg have shown that if f* is surjective on rational cohomology, then the induced map on phantom sets is also surjective. We show that if f* is surjective just in dimension k, then f induces a surjection on a certain subquotient of the phantom set. If the condition...
