Some examples of vector fields on the 3-sphere

F. Wesley Wilson (1970)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let S 3 denote the set of points with modulus one in euclidean 4-space R 4  ; and let Γ 0 1 ( S 3 ) denote the space of nonsingular vector fields on S 3 with the C 1 topology. Under what conditions are two elements from Γ 0 1 ( S 3 ) homotopic ? There are several examples of nonsingular vector fields on S 3 . However, they are all homotopic to the tangent fields of the fibrations of S 3 due to H. Hopf (there are two such classes).We construct some new examples of vector fields which can be classified geometrically. Each of these examples...

Some remarks on Koszul algebras and quantum groups

Yu. I. Manin (1987)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

The category of quadratic algebras is endowed with a tensor structure. This allows us to construct a class of Hopf algebras studied recently under the name of quantum (semi) groups.

Spaces and equations

Walter Taylor (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

It is proved, for various spaces A, such as a surface of genus 2, a figure-eight, or a sphere of dimension ≠ 1,3,7, and for any set Σ of equations, that Σ cannot be modeled by continuous operations on A unless Σ is undemanding (a form of triviality that is defined in the paper).

The ℤ₂-cohomology cup-length of real flag manifolds

Július Korbaš, Juraj Lörinc (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Using fiberings, we determine the cup-length and the Lyusternik-Shnirel’man category for some infinite families of real flag manifolds O ( n + . . . + n q ) / O ( n ) × . . . × O ( n q ) , q ≥ 3. We also give, or describe ways to obtain, interesting estimates for the cup-length of any O ( n + . . . + n q ) / O ( n ) × . . . × O ( n q ) , q ≥ 3. To present another approach (combining well with the “method of fiberings”), we generalize to the real flag manifolds Stong’s approach used for calculations in the ℤ₂-cohomology algebra of the Grassmann manifolds.
