Nilpotency of self homotopy equivalences with coefficients

Maxence Cuvilliez, Aniceto Murillo, Antonio Viruel (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we study the nilpotency of certain groups of self homotopy equivalences. Our main goal is to extend, to localized homotopy groups and/or homotopy groups with coefficients, the general principle of Dror and Zabrodsky by which a group of self homotopy equivalences of a finite complex which acts nilpotently on the homotopy groups is itself nilpotent.

Noetherian loop spaces

Natàlia Castellana, Juan Crespo, Jérôme Scherer (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The class of loop spaces of which the mod p cohomology is Noetherian is much larger than the class of p -compact groups (for which the mod p cohomology is required to be finite). It contains Eilenberg–Mac Lane spaces such as P and 3-connected covers of compact Lie groups. We study the cohomology of the classifying space B X of such an object and prove it is as small as expected, that is, comparable to that of B P . We also show that B X differs basically from the classifying space of a p -compact group...

On genera of polyhedra

Yuriy Drozd, Petro Kolesnyk (2012)

Open Mathematics

We consider the stable homotopy category S of polyhedra (finite cell complexes). We say that two polyhedra X,Y are in the same genus and write X ∼ Y if X p ≅ Y p for all prime p, where X p denotes the image of Xin the localized category S p. We prove that it is equivalent to the stable isomorphism X∨B 0 ≅Y∨B 0, where B 0 is the wedge of all spheres S n such that π nS(X) is infinite. We also prove that a stable isomorphism X ∨ X ≅ Y ∨ X implies a stable isomorphism X ≅ Y.

On localizations of torsion abelian groups

José L. Rodríguez, Jérôme Scherer, Lutz Strüngmann (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

As is well known, torsion abelian groups are not preserved by localization functors. However, Libman proved that the cardinality of LT is bounded by | T | whenever T is torsion abelian and L is a localization functor. In this paper we study localizations of torsion abelian groups and investigate new examples. In particular we prove that the structure of LT is determined by the structure of the localization of the primary components of T in many cases. Furthermore, we completely characterize the relationship...

On the connection between the topological genus of certain polyhedra and the algebraic genus of their Hilton-Hopt quadratic forms.

Imre Bokor (1990)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The Hilton-Hopf quadratic form is defined for spaces of the homotopy type of a CW complex with one cell each in dimensions 0 and 4n, K cells in dimension 2n and no other cells. If two such spaces are of the same topological genus, then their Hilton-Hopf quadratic forms are of the same weak algebraic genus. For large classes of spaces, such as simply connected differentiable 4-manifolds, the converse is also true, as long as the suspensions of the spaces are also of the same topological genus. This...

P-localization of some classes of groups.

Augusto Reynol Filho (1993)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The aim for the present paper is to study the theory of P-localization of a group in a category C such that it contains the category of the nilpotent groups as a full sub-category. In the second section we present a number of results on P-localization of a group G, which is the semi-direct product of an abelian group A with a group X, in the category G of all groups. It turns out that the P-localized (GP) is completely described by the P-localized XP of X, A and the action w of X on A. In the third...
