Bar complexes and extensions of classical exponential functors

Antoine Touzé (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We compute Ext-groups between classical exponential functors (i.e. symmetric, exterior or divided powers) and their Frobenius twists. Our method relies on bar constructions, and bridges these Ext-groups with the homology of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces.This article completes earlier results of the author, and provides an alternative approach to classical Ext-computations in the category of strict polynomial functors over fields. We also obtain significant Ext-computations for strict polynomial functors...

Bounded cohomology of lattices in higher rank Lie groups

Marc Burger, Nicolas Monod (1999)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove that the natural map H b 2 ( Γ ) H 2 ( Γ ) from bounded to usual cohomology is injective if Γ is an irreducible cocompact lattice in a higher rank Lie group. This result holds also for nontrivial unitary coefficients, and implies finiteness results for Γ : the stable commutator length vanishes and any C 1 –action on the circle is almost trivial. We introduce the continuous bounded cohomology of a locally compact group and prove our statements by relating H * b ( Γ ) to the continuous bounded cohomology of the ambient group...

Brown–Peterson cohomology and Morava K-theory of DI(4) and its classifying space

Marta Santos (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

DI(4) is the only known example of an exotic 2-compact group, and is conjectured to be the only one. In this work, we study generalized cohomology theories for DI(4) and its classifying space. Specifically, we compute the Morava K-theories, and the P(n)-cohomology of DI(4). We use the non-commutativity of the spectrum P(n) at p=2 to prove the non-homotopy nilpotency of DI(4). Concerning the classifying space, we prove that the BP-cohomology and the Morava K-theories of BDI(4) are all concentrated...

Characteristic zero loop space homology for certain two-cones

Calin Popescu (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Given a principal ideal domain R of characteristic zero, containing 1/2, and a two-cone X of appropriate connectedness and dimension, we present a sufficient algebraic condition, in terms of Adams-Hilton models, for the Hopf algebra F H ( Ω X ; R ) to be isomorphic with the universal enveloping algebra of some R -free graded Lie algebra; as usual, F stands for free part, H for homology, and Ω for the Moore loop space functor.
