Every Finite Complex has the Homology of a Duality Group.
Let Sr be the category of r-reduced simplicial sets, r ≥ 3; let Lr-1 be the category of (r-1)-reduced differential graded Lie algebras over Z. According to the fundamental work [3] of W.G. Dwyer both categories are endowed with closed model category structures such that the associated tame homotopy category of Sr is equivalent to the associated homotopy category of Lr-1. Here we embark on a study of this equivalence and its implications. In particular, we show how to compute homology, cohomology,...
We present an approach to cohomological dimension theory based on infinite symmetric products and on the general theory of dimension called the extension dimension. The notion of the extension dimension ext-dim(X) was introduced by A. N. Dranishnikov [9] in the context of compact spaces and CW complexes. This paper investigates extension types of infinite symmetric products SP(L). One of the main ideas of the paper is to treat ext-dim(X) ≤ SP(L) as the fundamental concept of cohomological dimension...
We prove the formality property of total spaces of fat bundles over compact homogeneous spaces. Some rational homotopy obstructions to fatness are obtained.
