Characteristic zero loop space homology for certain two-cones

Calin Popescu (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Given a principal ideal domain R of characteristic zero, containing 1/2, and a two-cone X of appropriate connectedness and dimension, we present a sufficient algebraic condition, in terms of Adams-Hilton models, for the Hopf algebra F H ( Ω X ; R ) to be isomorphic with the universal enveloping algebra of some R -free graded Lie algebra; as usual, F stands for free part, H for homology, and Ω for the Moore loop space functor.

Characterization of knot complements in the n-sphere

Vo-Thanh Liem, Gerard Venema (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Knot complements in the n-sphere are characterized. A connected open subset W of S n is homeomorphic with the complement of a locally flat (n-2)-sphere in S n , n ≥ 4, if and only if the first homology group of W is infinite cyclic, W has one end, and the homotopy groups of the end of W are isomorphic to those of S 1 in dimensions less than n/2. This result generalizes earlier theorems of Daverman, Liem, and Liem and Venema.

Characterizing metric spaces whose hyperspaces are homeomorphic to ℓ₂

T. Banakh, R. Voytsitskyy (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

It is shown that the hyperspace C l d H ( X ) (resp. B d d H ( X ) ) of non-empty closed (resp. closed and bounded) subsets of a metric space (X,d) is homeomorphic to ℓ₂ if and only if the completion X̅ of X is connected and locally connected, X is topologically complete and nowhere locally compact, and each subset (resp. each bounded subset) of X is totally bounded.

Chern classes of vector bundles with singular connections

Guiseppe De Cecco (1982)

Si fa vedere che alcune classi di Chern di fibrati vettoriali complessi possono essere costruite non solo partendo da connessioni C ma, sotto certe condizioni, anche da connessioni lineari singolari. Nel caso particolare del fibrato tangente possono essere costruite anche a partire da metriche singolari. Viene fatto uso in modo essenziale della L 2 -coomologia di de Rham (introdotta da Cheeger e Teleman).
