Twisted action of the symmetric group on the cohomology of a flag manifold

Alain Lascoux, Bernard Leclerc, Jean-Yves Thibon (1996)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Classes dual to Schubert cycles constitute a basis on the cohomology ring of the flag manifold F, self-adjoint up to indexation with respect to the intersection form. Here, we study the bilinear form (X,Y) :=〈X·Y, c(F)〉 where X,Y are cocycles, c(F) is the total Chern class of F and〈,〉 is the intersection form. This form is related to a twisted action of the symmetric group of the cohomology ring, and to the degenerate affine Hecke algebra. We give a distinguished basis for this form,...

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.

Continuous Alexander–Spanier cohomology classifies principal bundles with Abelian structure group

Bernd Günther, L. Mdzinarishvili (1997)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove that Alexander-Spanier cohomology H n ( X ; G ) with coefficients in a topologicalAbelian group G is isomorphic to the group of isomorphism classes of principal bundles with certain Abelian structure groups. The result holds if either X is a CW-space and G arbitrary or if X is metrizable or compact Hausdorff and G an ANR.
