A topological version of Bertini's theorem

Artur Piękosz (1995)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We give a topological version of a Bertini type theorem due to Abhyankar. A new definition of a branched covering is given. If the restriction π V : V Y of the natural projection π: Y × Z → Y to a closed set V ⊂ Y × Z is a branched covering then, under certain assumptions, we can obtain generators of the fundamental group π₁((Y×Z).

A Whitehead product for track groups (II).

Keith A. Hardie, A. V. Jansen (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Two direct relations are exhibited between the Whitehead product for track groups studied in [4] and the generalized Whitehead product in the sense of Arkowitz. The problem of determining the order of the Whitehead square is posed and some computations given.

Adjunction of n-equivalences and triad connectivity.

Peter J. Witbooi (1995)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We prove a new adjunction theorem for n-equivalences. This theorem enables us to produce a simple geometric version of proof of the triad connectivity theorem of Blakers and Massey. An important intermediate step is a study of the collapsing map S∨X → S, S being a sphere.

Algebraic homotopy classes of rational functions

Christophe Cazanave (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let  k be a field. We compute the set 𝐏 1 , 𝐏 1 N ofnaivehomotopy classes of pointed k -scheme endomorphisms of the projective line 𝐏 1 . Our result compares well with Morel’s computation in [11] of thegroup 𝐏 1 , 𝐏 1 𝐀 1 of  𝐀 1 -homotopy classes of pointed endomorphisms of  𝐏 1 : the set 𝐏 1 , 𝐏 1 N admits an a priori monoid structure such that the canonical map 𝐏 1 , 𝐏 1 N 𝐏 1 , 𝐏 1 𝐀 1 is a group completion.
