Applications of knot theory in fluid mechanics

Renzo Ricca (1998)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we present an overview of some recent results on applications of knot theory in fluid mechanics, as part of a new discipline called `topological fluid mechanics' (TFM). The choice of the topics covered here is deliberately restricted to those areas that involve mainly a combination of ideal fluid mechanics techniques and knot theory concepts, complemented with a brief description of some other concepts that have important applications in fluid systems. We begin with the concept of...

Measurable cardinals and fundamental groups of compact spaces

Adam Przeździecki (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that all groups can be realized as fundamental groups of compact spaces if and only if no measurable cardinals exist. If the cardinality of a group G is nonmeasurable then the compact space K such that G = π₁K may be chosen so that it is path connected.

On the homological category of 3-manifolds.

José Carlos Gómez Larrañaga, Francisco Javier González Acuña (1991)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Let M be a closed, connected, orientable 3-manifold. Denote by n(S1 x S2) the connected sum of n copies of S1 x S2. We prove that if the homological category of M is three then for some n ≥ 1, H*(M) is isomorphic (as a ring) to H*(n(S1 x S2)).

The homology of spaces of simple topological measures

Ø. Johansen, A. B. Rustad (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The simple topological measures X* on a q-space X are shown to be a superextension of X. Properties inherited from superextensions to topological measures are presented. The homology groups of various subsets of X* are calculated. For a q-space X, X* is shown to be a q-space. The homology of X* when X is the annulus is calculated. The homology of X* when X is a more general genus one space is investigated. In particular, X* for the torus is shown to have a retract homeomorphic to an infinite product...

Topological complexity of motion planning and Massey products

Mark Grant (2009)

Banach Center Publications

We employ Massey products to find sharper lower bounds for the Schwarz genus of a fibration than those previously known. In particular we give examples of non-formal spaces X for which the topological complexity TC(X) (defined to be the genus of the free path fibration on X) is greater than the zero-divisors cup-length plus one.
