We prove that Alexander-Spanier cohomology with coefficients in a topologicalAbelian group G is isomorphic to the group of isomorphism classes of principal bundles with certain Abelian structure groups. The result holds if either X is a CW-space and G arbitrary or if X is metrizable or compact Hausdorff and G an ANR.
We raise the question of when a simplicial object in a catetgory is deemed contractible. The literature offers three definitions. One is the existence of an “extra degeneracy”, indexed by , which does not quite live up to the name. This can be strengthened to a “strong extra degeneracy". Another possibility is that it be homotopic to a constant simplicial object. Despite claims in the literature to the contrary, we show that all three are distinct concepts with strong extra degeneracy implies extra...
2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 18G35; Secondary 55U15.We consider non-standard totalisation functors for double complexes, involving left or right truncated products. We show how properties of these imply that the algebraic mapping torus of a self map h of a cochain complex of finitely presented modules has trivial negative Novikov cohomology, and has trivial positive Novikov cohomology provided h is a quasi-isomorphism. As an application we obtain a new and transparent proof that...
In the paper weak sufficient conditions for the reduction of the chain complex of a twisted cartesian product to a chain complex of free finitely generated abelian groups are found.
We extend the notion of simplicial set with effective homology presented in [22] to diagrams of simplicial sets. Further, for a given finite diagram of simplicial sets such that each simplicial set has effective homology, we present an algorithm computing the homotopy colimit as a simplicial set with effective homology. We also give an algorithm computing the cofibrant replacement of as a diagram with effective homology. This is applied to computing of equivariant cohomology operations....
