The Homotopy Category of Spectra.II.
Andreas Zastrow conjectured, and Cannon-Conner-Zastrow proved, that filling one hole in the Sierpiński curve with a disk results in a planar Peano continuum that is not homotopy equivalent to a 1-dimensional set. Zastrow's example is the motivation for this paper, where we characterize those planar Peano continua that are homotopy equivalent to 1-dimensional sets. While many planar Peano continua are not homotopy equivalent to 1-dimensional compacta, we prove that each has fundamental group that...
For the Brown-Peterson spectrum BP at the prime 3, denotes Hazewinkel’s second polynomial generator of . Let denote the Bousfield localization functor with respect to . A typical example of type one finite spectra is the mod 3 Moore spectrum M. In this paper, we determine the homotopy groups for the 8 skeleton X of BP.
The space Bi0 = Imm0 (S1, R2) / Diff (S1) of all immersions of rotation degree 0 in the plane modulo reparameterizations has homotopy groups π1(Bi0) = Z, π2(Bi0) = Z, and πk(Bi0) = 0 for k ≥ 3.
