Concordance Spaces, Higher Simple- Homotopy Theory, and Applications
While much is now known, through surgery theory, about the classification problem for manifolds of dimension at least five, information about the automorphism groups of such manifolds is as yet rather sparse. In fact, it seems that there is not a single closed manifold M of dimension greater than three for which the homotopy type of the automorphism space Diff(M), PL(M), or TOP(M) in the smooth...
متن کاملModelling fundamental 2-categories for directed homotopy (*)
Directed Algebraic Topology is a recent field, deeply linked with ordinary and higher dimensional Category Theory. A 'directed space', e.g. an ordered topological space, has directed homotopies (generally non reversible) and fundamental n-categories (replacing the fundamental ngroupoids of the classical case). Finding a simple model of the latter is a non-trivial problem, whose solution gives r...
متن کاملOn the Homotopy of Finite Cw-complexes with Polycyclic Fundamental Group
Let X be a finite connected CW-complex of dimension q. If its fundamental group π1(X) is polycyclic of Hirsch number h > q, we show that at least one homotopy group πi(X) is not finitely generated. If h = q or h = q − 1 the same conclusion holds unless X is an Eilenberg-McLane space K(π1(X), 1). Mathematics subject classification : 57R70; 55P15; 57Q10.
متن کاملManifolds with Fundamental Group a Generalized Free Product. I
This announcement describes new methods in the study and classification of differentiable, PI or topological manifolds with infinite fundamental group. If, for example, Y + l is a closed manifold with n^ = Gx *H G2, n> 4, there is a decomposition Y~YtUx Y2 with ir1(Yx) = G1,irl(Yl) = G2, itt(X) = H. For large classes of fundamental groups, the codimension one splitting theorems of [C3], extendi...
متن کاملHomotopy Probability Theory I
This is the first of two papers that introduce a deformation theoretic framework to explain and broaden a link between homotopy algebra and probability theory. In this paper, cumulants are proved to coincide with morphisms of homotopy algebras. The sequel paper outlines how the framework presented here can assist in the development of homotopy probability theory, allowing the principles of deri...
