Generalized Higher Order Cohomology Operations Induced by the Diagonal Mapping.
If a paracompact Hausdorff space X admits a (classical) universal covering space, then the natural homomorphism φ: π₁(X) → π̌₁(X) from the fundamental group to its first shape homotopy group is an isomorphism. We present a partial converse to this result: a path-connected topological space X admits a generalized universal covering space if φ: π₁(X) → π̌₁(X) is injective. This generalized notion of universal covering p: X̃ → X enjoys most of the usual properties, with the possible exception of evenly...
We introduce various classes of local maps: gradient, gradient-like, proper etc. We prove Parusiński's theorem for otopy classes of gradient local maps.
Are there any kinds of self maps on the loop structure whose induced homomorphic images are the Lie brackets in tensor algebra? We will give an answer to this question by defining a self map of , and then by computing efficiently some self maps. We also study the topological rationalization properties of the suspension of the Eilenberg-MacLane spaces. These results will be playing a powerful role in the computation of the same -type problems and giving us an information about the rational homotopy...
On construit une suite spectrale qui converge vers le bigradué associé à une filtration convenable des groupes d’homotopie du monoïde simplicial des équivalences d’homotopie fibrées d’un fibré de Kan dans lui-même. On obtient de nouveaux calculs de ces groupes. En particulier, on calcule le groupe des classes d’homotopie des équivalences d’homotopie d’un espace ayant trois groupes d’homotopie non nuls en dessous de sa dimension.
