Dans le fibré de l'espace des lacets libres, la fibre n'est pas, en général, totalement non cohomologue a zéro.
We lower substantially the strength of the assumptions needed for the validity of certain results in category theory and homotopy theory which were known to follow from Vopěnka’s principle. We prove that the necessary large-cardinal hypotheses depend on the complexity of the formulas defining the given classes, in the sense of the Lévy hierarchy. For example, the statement that, for a class of morphisms in a locally presentable category of structures, the orthogonal class of objects is a small-orthogonality...
A special case of G-equivariant degree is defined, where G = ℤ₂, and the action is determined by an involution given by T(u,v) = (u,-v). The presented construction is self-contained. It is also shown that two T-equivariant gradient maps are T-homotopic iff they are gradient T-homotopic. This is an equivariant generalization of the result due to Parusiński.
The homotopy fiber of the inclusion from the long embedding space to the long immersion space is known to be an iterated based loop space (if the codimension is greater than two). In this paper we deloop the homotopy fiber to obtain the topological Stiefel manifold, combining results of Lashof and of Lees. We also give a delooping of the long embedding space, which can be regarded as a version of Morlet-Burghelea-Lashof's delooping of the diffeomorphism group of the disk relative to the boundary....
L’algèbre de Pontryagin d’un espace -elliptique vérifie le théorème d’Auslander-Buchsbaum-Serre. Nous donnons ici plusieurs caractérisations des espaces -elliptiques tels que gldim( et lorsque est dans le domaine d’Anick. Nous introduisons aussi une suite spectrale “impaire des ” et complétons les résultats obtenus par A. Murillo dans le cas rationnel.
We define a new operad based on surfaces with foliations which contains suboperads. We construct CW models for these operads and provide applications of these models by giving actions on Hochschild complexes (thus making contact with string topology), by giving explicit cell representatives for the Dyer-Lashof-Cohen operations for the 2-cubes and by constructing new Ω spectra. The underlying novel principle is that we can trade genus in the surface representation vs. the dimension k of the little...
