On Secondary Cohomology Operations.

The Factorization of Cyclic Reduced Powers by Secondary Cohomology Operations.

I Lewin, J. C., Science, 112, 652 (1950). 2 In the experiments reported here, cultures were grown on minimal medium plus sodium acetate (0.2 gm per 100 ml). The minimal medium, described in Levine, R. P., and Ebersold, W. T., Zeit. Vererbungs., 89, 632 (1958), was altered by a fivefold increase in the concentration of Beijerinck's solution. 3 Arnon, D.

Secondary Steenrod Operations in Cohomology of Infinite-Dimensional Projective Spaces

The important role of the Steenrod operations Sq in the description of the cohomology of topological spaces, the calculation of various spectral sequences, and the study of homotopy properties of topological spaces and their continuous maps is well known [1, 2]. Projective spaces, in particular RP∞ and CP∞ , play a special role in the construction of Steenrod operations and their computation. I...

On the Steenrod Operations in Cyclic Cohomology

For a commutative Hopf algebra A over Z/p, where p is a prime integer, we define the Steenrod operations P i in cyclic cohomology of A using a tensor product of a free resolution of the symmetric group S n and the standard resolution of the algebra A over the cyclic category according to Loday (1992). We also compute some of these operations. 1. Introduction. For any prime p, the mod p Steenrod...

Cohomology operations and algebraic geometry

This manuscript is based on a ten hours series of seminars I delivered in August of 2003 at the Nagoya Institute of Technology as part of the workshop on homotopy theory organized by Norihiko Minami and following the Kinosaki conference in honor of Goro Nishida. One of the most striking applications of homotopy theory in “exotic” contexes is Voevodsky’s proof of the Milnor Conjecture. This conj...
