In this paper we characterize weak monomorphisms and weak epimorphisms in the category of pro-groups. Also we define the notion of weakly exact sequence and we study this notion in the category of pro-groups.
L’espace des configurations de points distincts de admet une filtration naturelle qui est induite par les inclusions des dans . Nous caractérisons le type d’homotopie de cette filtration par les propriétés combinatoires d’une structure cellulaire sous-jacente, étroitement liée à la théorie des -opérades de May. Cela donne une approche unifiée des différents modèles combinatoires d’espaces de lacets itérés et redémontre les théorèmes d’approximation de Milgram, Smith et Kashiwabara.
In [8] we studied Koszulity of a family of operads depending on a natural number and on the degree of the generating operation. While we proved that, for , the operad is Koszul if and only if is even, and while it follows from [4] that is Koszul for even and arbitrary , the (non)Koszulity of for odd and remains an open problem. In this note we describe some related numerical experiments, and formulate a conjecture suggested by the results of these computations.
Order complex is an important object associated to a partially ordered set. Following a suggestion from V. A. Vassiliev (1994), we investigate an order complex associated to the partially ordered set of nontrivial ideals in a commutative ring with identity. We determine the homotopy type of the geometric realization for the order complex associated to a general commutative ring with identity. We show that this complex is contractible except for semilocal rings with trivial Jacobson radical when...
