Module derivations and cohomological splitting of adjoint bundles

Akira Kono, Katsuhiko Kuribayashi (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let G be a finite loop space such that the mod p cohomology of the classifying space BG is a polynomial algebra. We consider when the adjoint bundle associated with a G-bundle over M splits on mod p cohomology as an algebra. In the case p = 2, an obstruction for the adjoint bundle to admit such a splitting is found in the Hochschild homology concerning the mod 2 cohomologies of BG and M via a module derivation. Moreover the derivation tells us that the splitting is not compatible with the Steenrod...

Morse index of a cyclic polygon

Gaiane Panina, Alena Zhukova (2011)

Open Mathematics

It is known that cyclic configurations of a planar polygonal linkage are critical points of the signed area function. In the paper we give an explicit formula of the Morse index for the signed area of a cyclic configuration. We show that it depends not only on the combinatorics of a cyclic configuration, but also on its metric properties.

Multifibrations. A class of shape fibrations with the path lifting property

Antonio Giraldo, José M. R. Sanjurjo (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we introduce a class of maps possessing a multivalued homotopy lifting property with respect to every topological space. We call these maps multifibrations and they represent a formally stronger concept than that of shape fibration. Multifibrations have the interesting property of being characterized in a completely intrinsic way by a path lifting property involving only the total and the base space of the fibration. We also show that multifibrations (and also, with some restrictions,...

N-determined p-compact groups

Jesper M. Møller (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

One of the major problems in the homotopy theory of finite loop spaces is the classification problem for p-compact groups. It has been proposed to use the maximal torus normalizer (which at an odd prime essentially means the Weyl group) as the distinguishing invariant. We show here that the maximal torus normalizer does indeed classify many p-compact groups up to isomorphism when p is an odd prime.

Nilpotent subgroups of the group of fibre homotopy equivalences.

Yves Félix, Jean-Claude Thomas (1995)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let ξ = (E, p, B, F) be a Hurewicz fibration. In this paper we study the space LG(ξ) consisting of fibre homotopy self equivalences of ξ inducing by restriction to the fibre a self homotopy equivalence of F belonging to the group G. We give in particular conditions implying that π1(LG(ξ)) is finitely generated or that L1(ξ) has the same rational homotopy type as aut1(F).

Noetherian loop spaces

Natàlia Castellana, Juan Crespo, Jérôme Scherer (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The class of loop spaces of which the mod p cohomology is Noetherian is much larger than the class of p -compact groups (for which the mod p cohomology is required to be finite). It contains Eilenberg–Mac Lane spaces such as P and 3-connected covers of compact Lie groups. We study the cohomology of the classifying space B X of such an object and prove it is as small as expected, that is, comparable to that of B P . We also show that B X differs basically from the classifying space of a p -compact group...

Non-associative geometry and discrete structure of spacetime

Alexander I. Nesterov, Lev Vasilʹevich Sabinin (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A new mathematical theory, non-associative geometry, providing a unified algebraic description of continuous and discrete spacetime, is introduced.

Nondegenerate cohomology pairing for transitive Lie algebroids, characterization

Jan Kubarski, Alexandr Mishchenko (2004)

Open Mathematics

The Evens-Lu-Weinstein representation (Q A, D) for a Lie algebroid A on a manifold M is studied in the transitive case. To consider at the same time non-oriented manifolds as well, this representation is slightly modified to (Q Aor, Dor) by tensoring by orientation flat line bundle, Q Aor=QA⊗or (M) and D or=D⊗∂Aor. It is shown that the induced cohomology pairing is nondegenerate and that the representation (Q Aor, Dor) is the unique (up to isomorphy) line representation for which the top group of...
