The Milgram non-operad

Michael Brinkmeier (1999)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

C. Berger claimed to have constructed an E n -operad-structure on the permutohedras, whose associated monad is exactly the Milgram model for the free loop spaces. In this paper I will show that this statement is not correct.

The minimizing of the Nielsen root classes

Daciberg Gonçalves, Claudemir Aniz (2004)

Open Mathematics

Given a map f: X→Y and a Nielsen root class, there is a number associated to this root class, which is the minimal number of points among all root classes which are H-related to the given one for all homotopies H of the map f. We show that for maps between closed surfaces it is possible to deform f such that all the Nielsen root classes have cardinality equal to the minimal number if and only if either N R[f]≤1, or N R[f]>1 and f satisfies the Wecken property. Here N R[f] denotes the Nielsen...

The moduli space of n tropically collinear points in Rd.

Mike Develin (2005)

Collectanea Mathematica

The tropical semiring (R, min, +) has enjoyed a recent renaissance, owing to its connections to mathematical biology as well as optimization and algebraic geometry. In this paper, we investigate the space of labeled n-point configurations lying on a tropical line in d-space, which is interpretable as the space of n-species phylogenetic trees. This is equivalent to the space of n x d matrices of tropical rank two, a simplicial complex. We prove that this simplicial complex is shellable for dimension...

The monoid of suspensions and loops modulo Bousfield equivalence

Jeff Strom (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The suspension and loop space functors, Σ and Ω, operate on the lattice of Bousfield classes of (sufficiently highly connected) topological spaces, and therefore generate a submonoid ℒ of the complete set of operations on the Bousfield lattice. We determine the structure of ℒ in terms of a single parameter of homotopy theory which is closely tied to the problem of desuspending weak cellular inequalities.
