On the homotopy type of (n-1)-connected (3n+1)-dimensional free chain Lie algebra

Mahmoud Benkhalifa, Nabilah Abughzalah (2005)

Open Mathematics

Let R be a subring ring of Q. We reserve the symbol p for the least prime which is not a unit in R; if R ⊒Q, then p=∞. Denote by DGL nnp, n≥1, the category of (n-1)-connected np-dimensional differential graded free Lie algebras over R. In [1] D. Anick has shown that there is a reasonable concept of homotopy in the category DGL nnp. In this work we intend to answer the following two questions: Given an object (L(V), ϖ) in DGL n3n+2 and denote by S(L(V), ϖ) the class of objects homotopy equivalent...

On the real cohomology of spaces of free loops on manifolds

Katsuhiko Kuribayashi (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let LX be the space of free loops on a simply connected manifold X. When the real cohomology of X is a tensor product of algebras generated by a single element, we determine the algebra structure of the real cohomology of LX by using the cyclic bar complex of the de Rham complex Ω(X) of X. In consequence, the algebra generators of the real cohomology of LX can be represented by differential forms on LX through Chen’s iterated integral map. Let 𝕋 be the circle group. The 𝕋 -equivariant cohomology...

Poincaré duality and commutative differential graded algebras

Pascal Lambrechts, Don Stanley (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We prove that every commutative differential graded algebra whose cohomology is a simply-connected Poincaré duality algebra is quasi-isomorphic to one whose underlying algebra is simply-connected and satisfies Poincaré duality in the same dimension. This has applications in rational homotopy, giving Poincaré duality at the cochain level, which is of interest in particular in the study of configuration spaces and in string topology.

Rational fibrations homogeneous spaces with positive Euler characteristics and Jacobians

H. Shiga, M. Tezuka (1987)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We show that an orientable fibration whose fiber has a homotopy type of homogeneous space G / U with rank G = rang U is totally non homologous to zero for rational coefficients. The Jacobian formed by invariant polynomial under the Weyl group of G plays a key role in the proof. We also show that it is valid for mod. p coefficients if p does not divide the order of the Weyl group of G .

Rational homotopy of Serre fibrations

Jean-Claude Thomas (1981)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In rational homotopy theory, we show how the homotopy notion of pure fibration arises in a natural way. It can be proved that some fibrations, with homogeneous spaces as fibre are pure fibrations. Consequences of these results on the operation of a Lie group and the existence of Serre fibrations are given. We also examine various measures of rational triviality for a fibration and compare them with and whithout the hypothesis of pure fibration.

Rational models of solvmanifolds with Kählerian structures.

A. Tralle (1997)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We investigate the existence of symplectic non-Kählerian structures on compact solvmanifolds and prove some results which give strong necessary conditions for the existence of Kählerian structures in terms of rational homotopy theory. Our results explain known examples and generalize the Benson-Gordon theorem (Benson and Gordon (1990); our method allows us to drop the assumption of the complete solvability of G).
