On a Conjecture of Bredon.
We present a very general construction of a chain complex for an arbitrary (even non-associative and non-commutative) algebra with unit and with any topology over a field with a suitable topology. We prove that for the algebra of smooth functions on a smooth manifold with the weak topology the homology vector spaces of this chain complex coincide with the classical singular homology groups of the manifold with real coefficients. We also show that for an associative and commutative algebra with unit...
Let K*(A;Z/ln) denote the mod-ln algebraic K-theory of a Z[1/l]-algebra A. Snaith ([14], [15], [16]) has studied Bott-periodic algebraic theory Ki(A;Z/ln)[1/βn], a localized version of K*(A;Z/ln) obtained by inverting a Bott element βn. For l an odd prime, Snaith has given a description of K*(A;Z/ln)[1/βn] using Adams maps between Moore spectra. These constructions are interesting, in particular for their connections with Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture [16].In this paper we obtain a description...
In this paper we work in o-minimal structures with definable Skolem functions, and show that: (i) a Hausdorff definably compact definable space is definably normal; (ii) a continuous definable map between Hausdorff locally definably compact definable spaces is definably proper if and only if it is a proper morphism in the category of definable spaces. We give several other characterizations of definably proper, including one involving the existence of limits of definable types. We also prove the...
A topological space X is called an -bubble (n is a natural number, is Čech cohomology with integer coefficients) if its n-dimensional cohomology is nontrivial and the n-dimensional cohomology of every proper subspace is trivial. The main results of our paper are: (1) Any compact metrizable -bubble is locally connected; (2) There exists a 2-dimensional 2-acyclic compact metrizable ANR which does not contain any -bubbles; and (3) Every n-acyclic finite-dimensional -trivial metrizable compactum...
We introduce and study the sheaf of Deligne to describe singular points of a linear differential operator and we develop a technique based on homological algebra to prove index theorems for .As particular cases, we obtain index theorems for acting in spaces of multisummable series and a new proof of the index theorem of Malgrange in the space of convergent power series and of the index theorems of Ramis in the spaces of Gevrey series.We compute the values of these indices in terms of the formal...
We study a holomorphic equivariant cohomology built out of the Atiyah algebroid of an equivariant holomorphic vector bundle and prove a related localization formula. This encompasses various residue formulas in complex geometry, in particular we shall show that it contains as special cases Carrell-Liebermann’s and Feng-Ma’s residue formulas, and Baum-Bott’s formula for the zeroes of a meromorphic vector field.
