A Converse to the P.A. Smith Theorem for Nonunitary Homology Spheres.
We exhibit a metric continuum X and a polyhedron P such that the Cartesian product X × P fails to be the product of X and P in the shape category of topological spaces.
We analyze the equation coming from the Eulerian-Lagrangian description of fluids. We discuss a couple of ways to extend this notion to viscous fluids. The main focus of this paper is to discuss the first way, due to Constantin. We show that this description can only work for short times, after which the ``back to coordinates map'' may have no smooth inverse. Then we briefly discuss a second way that uses Brownian motion. We use this to provide a plausibility argument for the global regularity for...
We will give a condition characterizing spaces X with SNT(X) = {[X]} which generalizes the corresponding result of McGibbon and Moller [8] for rational H-spaces.
We show that the Cartesian product of three hereditarily infinite-dimensional compact metric spaces is never hereditarily infinite-dimensional. It is quite surprising that the proof of this fact (and this is the only proof known to the author) essentially relies on algebraic topology.
The paper studies applications of -algebras in geometric topology. Namely, a covariant functor from the category of mapping tori to a category of -algebras is constructed; the functor takes continuous maps between such manifolds to stable homomorphisms between the corresponding -algebras. We use this functor to develop an obstruction theory for the torus bundles of dimension , and . In conclusion, we consider two numerical examples illustrating our main results.
