Spaces associated to quadratic endofunctors of the category of groups.

Hans-Joachim Baues, Teimuraz Pirashvili (2005)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Square groups are gadgets classifying quadratic endofunctors of the category of groups. Applying such a functor to the Kan simplicial loop group of the 2-dimensional sphere, one obtains a one-connected three-type. We consider the problem of characterization of those three-types X which can be obtained in this way. We solve this problem in some cases, including the case when π(X) is a finitely generated abelian group. The corresponding stable problem is solved completely.

N-determined 2-compact groups. I

Jesper M. Møller (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

This is the first part of a paper that classifies 2-compact groups. In this first part we formulate a general classification scheme for 2-compact groups in terms of their maximal torus normalizer pairs. We apply this general classification procedure to the simple 2-compact groups of the A-family and show that any simple 2-compact group that is locally isomorphic to PGL(n+1,ℂ) is uniquely N-determined. Thus there are no other 2-compact groups in the A-family than the ones we already know....
