Contractible simplicial objects

Michael Barr, John F. Kennison, Robert M. Raphael (2019)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

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 - 1 , 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...

Double complexes and vanishing of Novikov cohomology

Hüttemann, Thomas (2011)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

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...

Effective chain complexes for twisted products

Marek Filakovský (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

In the paper weak sufficient conditions for the reduction of the chain complex of a twisted cartesian product F × τ B to a chain complex of free finitely generated abelian groups are found.

Effective homology for homotopy colimit and cofibrant replacement

Marek Filakovský (2014)

Archivum Mathematicum

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 X : sSet such that each simplicial set X ( i ) has effective homology, we present an algorithm computing the homotopy colimit hocolim X as a simplicial set with effective homology. We also give an algorithm computing the cofibrant replacement X cof of X as a diagram with effective homology. This is applied to computing of equivariant cohomology operations....
