Quillen stratification for the Steenrod algebra.
Let be a 1-connected closed manifold of dimension and be the space of free loops on . M.Chas and D.Sullivan defined a structure of BV-algebra on the singular homology of , . When the ring of coefficients is a field of characteristic zero, we prove that there exists a BV-algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology which extends the canonical structure of Gerstenhaber algebra. We construct then an isomorphism of BV-algebras between and the shifted homology . We also prove that the...
We show that an orientable fibration whose fiber has a homotopy type of homogeneous space with rank is totally non homologous to zero for rational coefficients. The Jacobian formed by invariant polynomial under the Weyl group of plays a key role in the proof. We also show that it is valid for mod. coefficients if does not divide the order of the Weyl group of .
In rational homotopy theory, we show how the homotopy notion of pure fibration arises in a natural way. It can be proved that some fibrations, with homogeneous spaces as fibre are pure fibrations. Consequences of these results on the operation of a Lie group and the existence of Serre fibrations are given. We also examine various measures of rational triviality for a fibration and compare them with and whithout the hypothesis of pure fibration.
Let G be a finite group. We prove that every rational G-connected Hopf G-space with two nontrivial homotopy group systems is G-homotopy equivalent to an infinite loop G-space.
