The actions of Sn+1 and Sn on the cohomology ring of a Coxeter arrangement of type An-1.
In this paper we consider a number of sequence and function spaces that are known to be homeomorphic to the countable product of the linear space . The spaces we are interested in have a canonical imbedding in both a topological Hilbert space and a Hilbert cube. It turns out that when we consider these spaces as subsets of a Hilbert cube then there is only one topological type. For imbeddings in the countable product of lines there are two types depending on whether the space is contained in a...
We describe a sufficient condition for a finitely generated group to have infinite asymptotic dimension. As an application, we conclude that the first Grigorchuk group has infinite asymptotic dimension.
We study the cohomology properties of the singular foliation ℱ determined by an action Φ: G × M → M where the abelian Lie group G preserves a riemannian metric on the compact manifold M. More precisely, we prove that the basic intersection cohomology is finite-dimensional and satisfies the Poincaré duality. This duality includes two well known situations: ∙ Poincaré duality for basic cohomology (the action Φ is almost free). ∙ Poincaré duality for intersection cohomology (the group G is compact...
