Elementary moves for higher dimensional knots

Dennis Roseman (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For smooth knottings of compact (not necessarily orientable) n-dimensional manifolds in n + 2 (or n + 2 ), we generalize the notion of knot moves to higher dimensions. This reproves and generalizes the Reidemeister moves of classical knot theory. We show that for any dimension there is a finite set of elementary isotopies, called moves, so that any isotopy is equivalent to a finite sequence of these moves.

Embedding products of graphs into Euclidean spaces

Mikhail Skopenkov (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For any collection of graphs G , . . . , G N we find the minimal dimension d such that the product G × . . . × G N is embeddable into d (see Theorem 1 below). In particular, we prove that (K₅)ⁿ and ( K 3 , 3 ) are not embeddable into 2 n , where K₅ and K 3 , 3 are the Kuratowski graphs. This is a solution of a problem of Menger from 1929. The idea of the proof is a reduction to a problem from so-called Ramsey link theory: we show that any embedding L k O S 2 n - 1 , where O is a vertex of (K₅)ⁿ, has a pair of linked (n-1)-spheres.

Embedding proper homotopy types

M. Cárdenas, T. Fernández, F. F. Lasheras, A. Quintero (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We show that the proper homotopy type of any properly c-connected locally finite n-dimensional CW-complex is represented by a closed polyhedron in 2 n - c (Theorem I). The case n - c ≥ 3 is a special case of a general proper homotopy embedding theorem (Theorem II). For n - c ≤ 2 we need some basic properties of “proper” algebraic topology which are summarized in Appendices A and B. The results of this paper are the proper analogues of classical results by Stallings [17] and Wall [20] for finite CW-complexes;...

Enlacements d’intervalles et torsion de Whitehead

Jean-Yves Le Dimet (2001)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Soit E un enlacement de n intervalles dans D 2 × I d’extérieur X et soit X 0 = X D 2 × 0 . On utilise la propriété de la paire ( X , X 0 ) d’être Λ -acyclique pour certaines représentation ρ de l’anneau du groupe fondamental π de X dans un anneau Λ pour construire des invariants de torsion à valeurs dans le groupe K 1 ( Λ ) / ρ ( ± π ) . Un cas particulier est le polynôme d’Alexander en n variables quand Λ est l’anneau des fractions rationnelles P / Q avec Q ( 1 , 1 , , 1 ) = 1 et ρ est simplement l’abélianisation.

Equivariant algebraic topology

Sören Illman (1973)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let G be a topological group. We give the existence of an equivariant homology and cohomology theory, defined on the category of all G -pairs and G -maps, which both satisfy all seven equivariant Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms and have a given covariant and contravariant, respectively, coefficient system as coefficients.In the case that G is a compact Lie group we also define equivariant C W -complexes and mention some of their basic properties.The paper is a short abstract and contains no proofs.
