Linear Diophantic Equations and Local Cohomology.
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 , 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 allow a complete...
In accordance with the Bing-Borsuk conjecture, we show that if X is an n-dimensional homogeneous metric ANR continuum and x ∈ X, then there is a local basis at x consisting of connected open sets U such that the cohomological properties of Ū and bd U are similar to the properties of the closed ball ⁿ ⊂ ℝⁿ and its boundary . We also prove that a metric ANR compactum X of dimension n is dimensionally full-valued if and only if the group Hₙ(X,X∖x;ℤ) is not trivial for some x ∈ X. This implies that...
We propose a new method for defining a notion of support for objects in any compactly generated triangulated category admitting small coproducts. This approach is based on a construction of local cohomology functors on triangulated categories, with respect to a central ring of operators. Special cases are, for example, the theory for commutative noetherian rings due to Foxby and Neeman, the theory of Avramov and Buchweitz for complete intersection local rings, and varieties for representations of...
