Stratifications of teardrops

Bruce Hughes (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Teardrops are generalizations of open mapping cylinders. We prove that the teardrop of a stratified approximate fibration X → Y × ℝ with X and Y homotopically stratified spaces is itself a homotopically stratified space (under mild hypothesis). This is applied to manifold stratified approximate fibrations between manifold stratified spaces in order to establish the realization part of a previously announced tubular neighborhood theory.

Postnikov invariants of H-spaces

Dominique Arlettaz, Nicole Pointet-Tischler (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is known that the order of all Postnikov k-invariants of an H-space of finite type is finite. This paper establishes the finiteness of the order of the k-invariants k m + 1 ( X ) of X in dimensions m ≤ 2n if X is an (n-1)-connected H-space which is not necessarily of finite type (n ≥ 1). Similar results hold more generally for higher k-invariants if X is an iterated loop space. Moreover, we provide in all cases explicit universal upper bounds for the order of the k-invariants of X.

Brown–Peterson cohomology and Morava K-theory of DI(4) and its classifying space

Marta Santos (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

DI(4) is the only known example of an exotic 2-compact group, and is conjectured to be the only one. In this work, we study generalized cohomology theories for DI(4) and its classifying space. Specifically, we compute the Morava K-theories, and the P(n)-cohomology of DI(4). We use the non-commutativity of the spectrum P(n) at p=2 to prove the non-homotopy nilpotency of DI(4). Concerning the classifying space, we prove that the BP-cohomology and the Morava K-theories of BDI(4) are all...
