Homotopy dominations within polyhedra

Danuta Kołodziejczyk (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show the existence of a finite polyhedron P dominating infinitely many different homotopy types of finite polyhedra and such that there is a bound on the lengths of all strictly descending sequences of homotopy types dominated by P. This answers a question of K. Borsuk (1979) dealing with shape-theoretic notions of "capacity" and "depth" of compact metric spaces. Moreover, π₁(P) may be any given non-abelian poly-ℤ-group and dim P may be any given integer n ≥ 3.

Homotopy Lie algebras and fundamental groups via deformation theory

Martin Markl, Stefan Papadima (1992)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We formulate first results of our larger project based on first fixing some easily accessible invariants of topological spaces (typically the cup product structure in low dimensions) and then studying the variations of more complex invariants such as π * Ω S (the homotopy Lie algebra) or gr * π 1 S (the graded Lie algebra associated to the lower central series of the fundamental group). We prove basic rigidity results and give also an application in low-dimensional topology.
