On the homotopy type of Diff ( M n ) and connected problems

Dan Burghelea (1973)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

This paper reports on some results concerning: a) The homotopy type of the group of diffeomorphisms Diff ( M n ) of a differentiable compact manifold M n (with C -topology). b) the result of the homotopy comparison of this space with the group of all homeomorphisms Homeo M n (with C o -topology). As a biproduct, one gets new facts about the homotopy groups of Diff ( D n , D n ) , Top n , Top n / O n and about the number of connected components of the space of topological and combinatorial pseudoisotopies. ...

G-ANR's with homotopy trivial fixed point sets

Sergey A. Antonyan (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let G be a compact group and X a G-ANR. Then X is a G-AR iff the H-fixed point set X H is homotopy trivial for each closed subgroup H ⊂ G.

G-functors, G-posets and homotopy decompositions of G-spaces

Stefan Jackowski, Jolanta Słomińska (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We describe a unifying approach to a variety of homotopy decompositions of classifying spaces, mainly of finite groups. For a group G acting on a poset W and an isotropy presheaf d:W → (G) we construct a natural G-map h o c o l i m d G / d ( - ) | W | which is a (non-equivariant) homotopy equivalence, hence h o c o l i m d E G × G F d E G × G | W | is a homotopy equivalence. Different choices of G-posets and isotropy presheaves on them lead to homotopy decompositions of classifying spaces. We analyze higher limits over the categories associated to isotropy...

Cohomology C -algebra and rational homotopy type

Tornike Kadeishvili (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In the rational cohomology of a 1-connected space a structure of C -algebra is constructed and it is shown that this object determines the rational homotopy type.

Minimal component numbers of fixed point sets

Xuezhi Zhao (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let f: (X,A) → (X,A) be a relative map of a pair of compact polyhedra. We introduce a new relative homotopy invariant N C ( f ; X , A ) , which is a lower bound for the component numbers of fixed point sets of the self-maps in the relative homotopy class of f. Some properties of N C ( f ; X , A ) are given, which are very similar to those of the relative Nielsen number N(f;X,A).

Variations on a theme of homotopy

Timothy Porter (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

The aim of this article is to bring together various themes from fairly elementary homotopy theory and to examine them, in part, from a historical and philosophical viewpoint.

Linking and coincidence invariants

Ulrich Koschorke (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Given a link map f into a manifold of the form Q = N × ℝ, when can it be deformed to an “unlinked” position (in some sense, e.g. where its components map to disjoint ℝ-levels)? Using the language of normal bordism theory as well as the path space approach of Hatcher and Quinn we define obstructions ω ̃ ε ( f ) , ε = + or ε = -, which often answer this question completely and which, in addition, turn out to distinguish a great number of different link homotopy classes. In certain cases they even...

Contractible simplicial objects

Michael Barr, John F. Kennison, Robert M. Raphael (2019)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We raise the question of when a simplicial object in a catetgory is deemed contractible. The literature offers three definitions. One is the existence of an “extra degeneracy”, indexed by - 1 , which does not quite live up to the name. This can be strengthened to a “strong extra degeneracy". Another possibility is that it be homotopic to a constant simplicial object. Despite claims in the literature to the contrary, we show that all three are distinct concepts with strong extra degeneracy...
