Homology of gaussian groups

Patrick Dehornoy, Yves Lafont (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We describe new combinatorial methods for constructing explicit free resolutions of by G -modules when G is a group of fractions of a monoid where enough lest common multiples exist (“locally Gaussian monoid”), and therefore, for computing the homology of G . Our constructions apply in particular to all Artin-Tits groups of finite Coexter type. Technically, the proofs rely on the properties of least common multiples in a monoid.

Homology theory in the alternative set theory I. Algebraic preliminaries

Jaroslav Guričan (1991)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The notion of free group is defined, a relatively wide collection of groups which enable infinite set summation (called commutative π -group), is introduced. Commutative π -groups are studied from the set-theoretical point of view and from the point of view of free groups. Commutativity of the operator which is a special kind of inverse limit and factorization, is proved. Tensor product is defined, commutativity of direct product (also a free group construction and tensor product) with the special...

Homotopy decompositions of orbit spaces and the Webb conjecture

Jolanta Słomińska (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let p be a prime number. We prove that if G is a compact Lie group with a non-trivial p-subgroup, then the orbit space ( B p ( G ) ) / G of the classifying space of the category associated to the G-poset p ( G ) of all non-trivial elementary abelian p-subgroups of G is contractible. This gives, for every G-CW-complex X each of whose isotropy groups contains a non-trivial p-subgroup, a decomposition of X/G as a homotopy colimit of the functor X E / ( N E . . . N E ) defined over the poset ( s d p ( G ) ) / G , where sd is the barycentric subdivision. We also...
