On minimal models in integral homotopy theory.
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...
The problem of the characterization of graded Lie algebras which admit a realization as the homotopy Lie algebra of a space of type is discussed. The central results are formulated in terms of varieties of structure constants, several criterions for concrete algebras are also deduced.
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 be the circle group. The -equivariant cohomology...
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.
We show that an orientable fibration whose fiber has a homotopy type of homogeneous space with rank is totally non homologous to zero for rational coefficients. The Jacobian formed by invariant polynomial under the Weyl group of plays a key role in the proof. We also show that it is valid for mod. coefficients if does not divide the order of the Weyl group of .
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.
Let G be a finite group. We prove that every rational G-connected Hopf G-space with two nontrivial homotopy group systems is G-homotopy equivalent to an infinite loop G-space.
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).
