The normalizer splitting conjecture for p-compact groups

Kasper Andersen (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X be a p-compact group, with maximal torus BT → BX, maximal torus normalizer BN and Weyl group W X . We prove that for an odd prime p, the fibration B T B N B W X has a section, which is unique up to vertical homotopy.

The rational homotopy of Thom spaces and the smoothing of isolated singularities

Stefan Papadima (1985)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Rational homotopy methods are used for studying the problem of the topological smoothing of complex algebraic isolated singularities. It is shown that one may always find a suitable covering which is smoothable. The problem of the topological smoothing (including the complex normal structure) for conical singularities is considered in the sequel. A connection is established between the existence of certain relations between the normal Chern degrees of a smooth projective variety and the question...

The rational homotopy type of configuration spaces of two points

Pascal Lambrechts, Don Stanley (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove that the rational homotopy type of the configuration space of two points in a 2 -connected closed manifold depends only on the rational homotopy type of that manifold and we give a model in the sense of Sullivan of that configuration space. We also study the formality of configuration spaces.

The Salvetti complex and the little cubes

Dai Tamaki (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

For a real central arrangement 𝒜 , Salvetti introduced a construction of a finite complex Sal ( 𝒜 ) which is homotopy equivalent to the complement of the complexified arrangement in [Sal87]. For the braid arrangement 𝒜 k - 1 , the Salvetti complex Sal ( 𝒜 k - 1 ) serves as a good combinatorial model for the homotopy type of the configuration space F ( , k ) of k points in C , which is homotopy equivalent to the space C 2 ( k ) of k little 2 -cubes. Motivated by the importance of little cubes in homotopy theory, especially in the study of...
