Let Fr(n) be the incomplete complex flag manifold of length r in Cn. We make a start on the complete determination of the torsion part of the group KO-i(Fr(n)) giving results here when r = 2, 3.
À partir des formes de Jacobi , on construit une somme de Dedekind elliptique. On obtient ainsi un analogue elliptique aux sommes multiples de Dedekind construites à partir des fonctions cotangentes, étudiées par D. Zagier. En outre, on établit une loi de réciprocité satisfaite par ces nouvelles sommes. Par une procédure de limite, on peut retrouver la loi de réciprocité remplie par les sommes multiples de Dedekind classiques. D’autre part, en les spécialisant en des paramètres de points de 2- division,...
Square groups are gadgets classifying quadratic endofunctors of the category of groups. Applying such a functor to the Kan simplicial loop group of the 2-dimensional sphere, one obtains a one-connected three-type. We consider the problem of characterization of those three-types X which can be obtained in this way. We solve this problem in some cases, including the case when π2(X) is a finitely generated abelian group. The corresponding stable problem is solved completely.
We describe an alternative approach to some results of Vassiliev ([Va1]) on spaces of polynomials, by applying the "scanning method" used by Segal ([Se2]) in his investigation of spaces of rational functions. We explain how these two approaches are related by the Smale-Hirsch Principle or the h-Principle of Gromov. We obtain several generalizations, which may be of interest in their own right.
A metric space M is said to have the fibered approximation property in dimension n (briefly, M ∈ FAP(n)) if for any ɛ > 0, m ≥ 0 and any map g: m × n → M there exists a map g′: m × n → M such that g′ is ɛ-homotopic to g and dim g′ (z × n) ≤ n for all z ∈ m. The class of spaces having the FAP(n)-property is investigated in this paper. The main theorems are applied to obtain generalizations of some results due to Uspenskij [11] and Tuncali-Valov [10].
