Extension of complexes of groups

André Haefliger (1992)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Complexes of groups G ( X ) over ordered simplicial complexes X are generalizations to higher dimensions of graphs of groups. We first relate them to complexes of spaces by considering their classifying space B G ( X ) . Then we develop their homological algebra aspects. We define the notions of homology and cohomology of a complex of groups G ( X ) with coefficients in a G ( X ) -module and show the existence of free resolutions. We apply those notions to study extensions of complexes of groups with constant or abelian kernel....

Hyperspaces of CW-complexes

Bao-Lin Guo, Katsuro Sakai (1993)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is shown that the hyperspace of a connected CW-complex is an absolute retract for stratifiable spaces, where the hyperspace is the space of non-empty compact (connected) sets with the Vietoris topology.

Minimality of toric arrangements

Giacomo d'Antonio, Emanuele Delucchi (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove that the complement of a toric arrangement has the homotopy type of a minimal CW-complex. As a corollary we deduce that the integer cohomology of these spaces is torsionfree. We apply discrete Morse theory to the toric Salvetti complex, providing a sequence of cellular collapses that leads to a minimal complex.
