Compacta with the shape finite complexes
Soit un groupe de type fini non élémentaire. On note l’ensemble des structures hyperboliques de dimension sur . peut se réaliser comme fermé dans un espace semi-algébrique qui admet une compactification naturelle par le spectre réel. On note le compactifié via le réel de . L’objet de cet article est de décrire les points ajoutés dans . La compactification obtenue de cette manière permet d’interpréter “les points frontières” comme des représentations de dans où est un corps réel...
We aim at constructing a PL-manifold which is cellularly equivalent to a given homology manifold . The main theorem says that there is a unique obstruction element in , where is the group of 3-dimensional PL-homology spheres modulo those which are the boundary of an acyclic PL-manifold. If the obstruction is zero and is compact, we obtain a PL-manifold which is simple homotopy equivalent to .
The purpose of this article is to introduce a method for computing the homology groups of cellular complexes composed of cubes. We will pay attention to issues of storage and efficiency in performing computations on large complexes which will be required in applications to the computation of the Conley index. The algorithm used in the homology computations is based on a local reduction procedure, and we give a subquadratic estimate of its computational complexity. This estimate is rigorous in two...
