In this paper we find a formula for the rational LS-category of certain elliptic spaces which generalizes or complements previous work of the subject. This formula is given in terms of the minimal model of the space.
The formula is , with ∂a + 1/2 [a,a] = 0 and ∂b + 1/2 [b,b] = 0, where a, b and e in degrees -1, -1 and 0 are the free generators of a completed free graded Lie algebra L[a,b,e]. The coefficients are defined by . The theorem is that ∙ this formula for ∂ on generators extends to a derivation of square zero on L[a,b,e]; ∙ the formula for ∂e is unique satisfying the first property, once given the formulae for ∂a and ∂b, along with the condition that the “flow” generated by e moves a to b in unit...
In the S-category (with compact-open strong shape mappings, cf. §1, instead of continuous mappings, and arbitrary finite-dimensional separable metrizable spaces instead of finite polyhedra) there exists according to [1], [2] an S-duality. The S-dual , turns out to be of the same weak homotopy type as an appropriately defined functional dual (Corollary 4.9). Sometimes the functional object is of the same weak homotopy type as the “real” function space (§5).
Sullivan associated a uniquely determined to any simply connected simplicial complex . This algebra (called minimal model) contains the total (and exactly) rational homotopy information of the space . In case is the total space of a principal -bundle, ( is a compact connected Lie-group) we associate a -equivariant model , which is a collection of “-homotopic” ’s with -action. will, in general, be different from the Sullivan’s minimal model of the space . contains the total rational...
We show that the property of having only vanishing triple Massey products in equivariant cohomology is inherited by the set of fixed points of hamiltonian circle actions on closed symplectic manifolds. This result can be considered in a more general context of characterizing homotopic properties of Lie group actions. In particular it can be viewed as a partial answer to a question posed by Allday and Puppe about finding conditions ensuring the "formality" of G-actions.
Let n be an integer with n ≥ 2 and be an infinite collection of (n-1)-connected continua. We compare the homotopy groups of with those of (Σ denotes the unreduced suspension) via the Freudenthal Suspension Theorem. An application to homology groups of the countable product of the n(≥ 2)-sphere is given.
