Bimorphisms in pro-homotopy and proper homotopy

Jerzy Dydak, Francisco Ruiz del Portal (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A morphism of a category which is simultaneously an epimorphism and a monomorphism is called a bimorphism. The category is balanced if every bimorphism is an isomorphism. In the paper properties of bimorphisms of several categories are discussed (pro-homotopy, shape, proper homotopy) and the question of those categories being balanced is raised. Our most interesting result is that a bimorphism f:X → Y of t o w ( H 0 ) is an isomorphism if Y is movable. Recall that ( H 0 ) is the full subcategory of p r o - H 0 ...

The Equivariant Bundle Subtraction Theorem and its applications

Masaharu Morimoto, Krzysztof Pawałowski (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In the theory of transformation groups, it is important to know what kind of isotropy subgroups of G do occur at points of the space upon which the given group G acts. In this article, for a finite group G, we prove the Equivariant Bundle Subtraction Theorem (Theorem 2.2) which allows us to construct smooth G-manifolds with prescribed isotropy subgroups around the G-fixed point sets. In Theorem 0.1, we restate Oliver's result about manifolds M and G-vector bundles over M that occur,...

Characterization of knot complements in the n-sphere

Vo-Thanh Liem, Gerard Venema (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

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.

Loop spaces and homotopy operations

David Blanc (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We describe an obstruction theory for an H-space X to be a loop space, in terms of higher homotopy operations taking values in π * X . These depend on first algebraically “delooping” the Π-algebras π * X , using the H-space structure on X, and then trying to realize the delooped Π-algebra.

On the homotopy category of Moore spaces and the cohomology of the category of abelian groups

Hans-Joachim Baues, Manfred Hartl (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The homotopy category of Moore spaces in degree 2 represents a nontrivial cohomology class in the cohomology of the category of abelian groups. We describe various properties of this class. We use James-Hopf invariants to obtain explicitly the image category under the functor chain complex of the loop space.

K-theory, flat bundles and the Borel classes

Bjørn Jahren (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Using Hausmann and Vogel's homology sphere bundle interpretation of algebraic K-theory, we construct K-theory invariants by a theory of characteristic classes for flat bundles. It is shown that the Borel classes are detected this way, as well as the rational K-theory of integer group rings of finite groups.

Coherent and strong expansions of spaces coincide

Sibe Mardešić (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In the existing literature there are several constructions of the strong shape category of topological spaces. In the one due to Yu. T. Lisitsa and S. Mardešić [LM1-3] an essential role is played by coherent polyhedral (ANR) expansions of spaces. Such expansions always exist, because every space admits a polyhedral resolution, resolutions are strong expansions and strong expansions are always coherent. The purpose of this paper is to prove that conversely, every coherent polyhedral (ANR)...

The cobordism of Real manifolds

Po Hu (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We calculate completely the Real cobordism groups, introduced by Landweber and Fujii, in terms of homotopy groups of known spectra.
