The Classification of Simply Connected H-Spaces with Three Cells II.
We obtain two classifications of weighted projective spaces: up to hoeomorphism and up to homotopy equivalence. We show that the former coincides with Al Amrani's classification up to isomorphism of algebraic varieties, and deduce the latter by proving that the Mislin genus of any weighted projective space is rigid.
We calculate completely the Real cobordism groups, introduced by Landweber and Fujii, in terms of homotopy groups of known spectra.
Let X be a simply connected space and LX the space of free loops on X. We determine the mod p cohomology algebra of LX when the mod p cohomology of X is generated by one element or is an exterior algebra on two generators. We also provide lower bounds on the dimensions of the Hodge decomposition factors of the rational cohomology of LX when the rational cohomology of X is a graded complete intersection algebra. The key to both of these results is the identification of an important subalgebra of...
Topological spaces with generalized symmetries are defined and extensions of the Conley index of a compact isolated invariant set of the flow preserving the structures introduced are proposed. One of the two new indexes is constructed with no additional assumption on the examined set in terms of symmetry invariance.
We prove that if G is a locally compact Hausdorff group then every proper G-ANR space has the G-homotopy type of a G-CW complex. This is applied to extend the James-Segal G-homotopy equivalence theorem to the case of arbitrary locally compact proper group actions.
The aim of this paper is to prove the generalized Schoenflies theorem for the class of absolute suspensions. The question whether the finite-dimensional absolute suspensions are homeomorphic to spheres remains open. Partial solution to this question was obtained in [Sz] and [Mi]. Morton Brown gave in [Br] an ingenious proof of the generalized Schoenflies theorem. Careful analysis of his proof reveals that modulo some technical adjustments a similar argument gives an analogous result for the class...
