Contractible simplicial objects

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

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

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 implies extra...

Decompositions of the category of noncommutative sets and Hochschild and cyclic homology

Jolanta Słomińska (2003)

Open Mathematics

In this note we show that the main results of the paper [PR] can be obtained as consequences of more general results concerning categories whose morphisms can be uniquely presented as compositions of morphisms of their two subcategories with the same objects. First we will prove these general results and then we will apply it to the case of finite noncommutative sets.

Dualization in algebraic K-theory and the invariant e¹ of quadratic forms over schemes

Marek Szyjewski (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In the classical Witt theory over a field F, the study of quadratic forms begins with two simple invariants: the dimension of a form modulo 2, called the dimension index and denoted e⁰: W(F) → ℤ/2, and the discriminant e¹ with values in k₁(F) = F*/F*², which behaves well on the fundamental ideal I(F)= ker(e⁰). Here a more sophisticated situation is considered, of quadratic forms over a scheme and, more generally, over an exact category with duality. Our purposes are: ...

Formes différentielles et suites spectrales

Pierre-Paul Grivel (1979)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

La théorie de Sullivan de l’homotopie rationnelle introduit l’algèbre des formes différentielles sur un ensemble simplicial. On montre dans cet article qu’en filtrant cette algèbre on peut obtenir une suite spectrale analogue à celle de Serre. On applique ce résultat pour étudier le modèle minimal d’un fibré et pour obtenir une nouvelle démonstration de la suite spectrale d’Eilenberg-Moore.

Ganea term for CCG-homology of crossed modules.

Teimuraz Pirashvili (2000)

Extracta Mathematicae

In [2] an internal homology theory of crossed modules was defined (CCG-homology for short), which is very much related to the homology of the classifying spaces of crossed modules ([5]). The goal of this note is to construct a low-dimensional homology exact sequence corresponding to a central extension of crossed modules, which is quite similar to the one constructed in [3] for group homology.

Graph Cohomology, Colored Posets and Homological Algebra in Functor Categories

Jolanta Słomińska (2012)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

The homology theory of colored posets, defined by B. Everitt and P. Turner, is generalized. Two graph categories are defined and Khovanov type graph cohomology are interpreted as Ext* groups in functor categories associated to these categories. The connection, described by J. H. Przytycki, between the Hochschild homology of an algebra and the graph cohomology, defined for the same algebra and a cyclic graph, is explained from the point of view of homological algebra in functor categories.
