A note on the cohomology ring of the oriented Grassmann manifolds G ˜ n , 4

Tomáš Rusin (2019)

Archivum Mathematicum

We use known results on the characteristic rank of the canonical 4 –plane bundle over the oriented Grassmann manifold G ˜ n , 4 to compute the generators of the 2 –cohomology groups H j ( G ˜ n , 4 ) for n = 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 . Drawing from the similarities of these examples with the general description of the cohomology rings of G ˜ n , 3 we conjecture some predictions.

A note on the converse of the Lefschetz theorem for G-maps

M. Izydorek, A. Vidal (1993)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The purpose of this note is to prove the converse of the Lefschetz fixed point theorem (CLT) together with an equivariant version of the converse of the Lefschetz deformation theorem (CDT) in the category of finite G-simplicial complexes, where G is a finite group.

A note on the theorems of Lusternik-Schnirelmann and Borsuk-Ulam

T. E. Barros, C. Biasi (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let p be a prime number and X a simply connected Hausdorff space equipped with a free p -action generated by f p : X X . Let α : S 2 n - 1 S 2 n - 1 be a homeomorphism generating a free p -action on the (2n-1)-sphere, whose orbit space is some lens space. We prove that, under some homotopy conditions on X, there exists an equivariant map F : ( S 2 n - 1 , α ) ( X , f p ) . As applications, we derive new versions of generalized Lusternik-Schnirelmann and Borsuk-Ulam theorems.

A Poincaré duality type theorem for polyhedra

Gerald Leonard Gordon (1972)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

If X is a n -dim polyhedran, then using geometric techniques, we construct groups H p ( X ) Δ and H p ( X ) Δ such that there are natural isomorphisms H p ( X ) Δ H n - p ( X ) and H p ( X ) Δ H n - p ( X ) which induce an intersection pairing. These groups give a geometric interpretation of two spectral sequences studied by Zeeman and allow us to prove a conjecture of Zeeman about them.

A Priddy-type Koszulness criterion for non-locally finite algebras

Maurizio Brunetti, Adriana Ciampella (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A celebrated result by S. Priddy states the Koszulness of any locally finite homogeneous PBW-algebra, i.e. a homogeneous graded algebra having a Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt basis. We find sufficient conditions for a non-locally finite homogeneous PBW-algebra to be Koszul, which allows us to completely determine the cohomology of the universal Steenrod algebra at any prime.
