Torsion in equivariant cohomology.
Khovanov homology for knots has generated a flurry of activity in the topology community. This paper studies the Khovanov type cohomology for graphs with a special attention to torsion. When the underlying algebra is ℤ[x]/(x²), we determine precisely those graphs whose cohomology contains torsion. For a large class of algebras, we show that torsion often occurs. Our investigation of torsion led to other related general results. Our computation could potentially be used to predict the Khovanov-Rozansky...
The one-term distributive homology was introduced in [Prz] as an atomic replacement of rack and quandle homology, which was first introduced and developed by Fenn-Rourke-Sanderson [FRS] and Carter-Kamada-Saito [CKS]. This homology was initially suspected to be torsion-free [Prz], but we show in this paper that the one-term homology of a finite spindle may have torsion. We carefully analyze spindles of block decomposition of type (n,1) and introduce various techniques to compute their homology precisely....
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00032.] A fibration is called totally noncohomologuous to zero (TNCZ) with respect to the coefficient field k, if is surjective. This is equivalent to saying that acts trivially on and the Serre spectral sequence collapses at . S. Halperin conjectured that for and F a 1-connected rationally elliptic space (i.e., both and are finite dimensional) such that vanishes in odd degrees, every fibration is TNCZ. The author proves this being the case...
On détermine la dimension d’une représentation du groupe linéaire définie par un sous-espace vectoriel de l’algèbre à puissances divisées, puis on explicite l’image du transfert algébrique en degré générique et celle du transfert algébrique quadruple, et finalement on identifie les indécomposables de degré pair de l’algèbre polynomiale à quatre variables, vue comme module sur l’algèbre de Steenrod.
