The relative coincidence Nielsen number

Jerzy Jezierski (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We define a relative coincidence Nielsen number N r e l ( f , g ) for pairs of maps between manifolds, prove a Wecken type theorem for this invariant and give some formulae expressing N r e l ( f , g ) by the ordinary Nielsen numbers.

The S1-CW decomposition of the geometric realization of a cyclic set

Zbigniew Fiedorowicz, Wojciech Gajda (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that the geometric realization of a cyclic set has a natural, S 1 -equivariant, cellular decomposition. As an application, we give another proof of a well-known isomorphism between cyclic homology of a cyclic space and S 1 -equivariant Borel homology of its geometric realization.

The Salvetti complex and the little cubes

Dai Tamaki (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

For a real central arrangement 𝒜 , Salvetti introduced a construction of a finite complex Sal ( 𝒜 ) which is homotopy equivalent to the complement of the complexified arrangement in [Sal87]. For the braid arrangement 𝒜 k - 1 , the Salvetti complex Sal ( 𝒜 k - 1 ) serves as a good combinatorial model for the homotopy type of the configuration space F ( , k ) of k points in C , which is homotopy equivalent to the space C 2 ( k ) of k little 2 -cubes. Motivated by the importance of little cubes in homotopy theory, especially in the study of...

The semi-index product formula

Jerzy Jezierski (1992)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We consider fibre bundle maps (...) where all spaces involved are smooth closed manifolds (with no orientability assumption). We find a necessary and sufficient condition for the formula    |ind|(f,g:A) = |ind| (f̅,g̅: p(A)) |ind| ( f b , g b : p - 1 ( b ) A ) to hold, where A stands for a Nielsen class of (f,g), b ∈ p(A) and |ind| denotes the coincidence semi-index from [DJ]. This formula enables us to derive a relation between the Nielsen numbers N(f,g), N(f̅,g̅) and N ( f b , g b ) .

The set of paths in a space and its algebraic structure. A historical account

Ralf Krömer (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

The present paper provides a test case for the significance of the historical category “structuralism” in the history of modern mathematics. We recapitulate the various approaches to the fundamental group present in Poincaré’s work and study how they were developed by the next generations in more “structuralist” manners. By contrasting this development with the late introduction and comparatively marginal use of the notion of fundamental groupoid and the even later consideration of equivalence relations...
