Homotopy theory of the master equation package applied to algebra and geometry: a sketch of two interlocking programs

Dennis Sullivan (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Using the algebraic theory of homotopies between maps of dga's we obtain a homotopy theory for algebraic structures defined by collections of multiplications and comultiplications. This is done by expressing these structures and resolved versions of them in terms of dga maps. This same homotopy theory of dga maps applies to extract invariants beyond homological periods from systems of moduli spaces that determine systems of chains that satisfy master equations like dX + X*X = 0. Minimal models of...

Multiplication is Discontinuous in the Hawaiian Earring Group (with the Quotient Topology)

Paul Fabel (2011)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

The natural quotient map q from the space of based loops in the Hawaiian earring onto the fundamental group provides a naturally occuring example of a quotient map such that q × q fails to be a quotient map. With the quotient topology, this example shows π₁(X,p) can fail to be a topological group if X is locally path connected.

On the homotopy type of Diff ( M n ) and connected problems

Dan Burghelea (1973)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

This paper reports on some results concerning:a) The homotopy type of the group of diffeomorphisms Diff ( M n ) of a differentiable compact manifold M n (with C -topology).b) the result of the homotopy comparison of this space with the group of all homeomorphisms Homeo M n (with C o -topology). As a biproduct, one gets new facts about the homotopy groups of Diff ( D n , D n ) , Top n , Top n / O n and about the number of connected components of the space of topological and combinatorial pseudoisotopies.The results are contained in Section 1 and Section...
