The Boardman category of spectra, chain complexes and (co)-localizations.
We construct a 3-Lie 2-algebra from a 3-Leibniz algebra and a Rota-Baxter 3-Lie algebra. Moreover, we give some examples of 3-Leibniz algebras.
We introduce the universal functorial Lefschetz invariant for endomorphisms of finite CW-complexes in terms of Grothendieck groups of endomorphisms of finitely generated free modules. It encompasses invariants like Lefschetz number, its generalization to the Lefschetz invariant, Nielsen number and -torsion of mapping tori. We examine its behaviour under fibrations.
We show that the Vietoris system of a space is isomorphic to a strong expansion of that space in the Steenrod homotopy category, and from this we derive a simple description of strong homology. It is proved that in ZFC strong homology does not have compact supports, and that enforcing compact supports by taking limits leads to a homology functor that does not factor over the strong shape category. For compact Hausdorff spaces strong homology is proved to be isomorphic to Massey's homology.
