Finite Connected H-spaces Are Contractible
The non-Hausdorff suspension of the one-sphere S1 of complex numbers fails to model the group’s continuous multiplication. Moreover, finite connected H-spaces are contractible, and therefore cannot model infinite connected non-contractible H-spaces. For an H-space and a finite model of the topology, the multiplication can be realized on the finite model after barycentric subdivision.
متن کاملRigidity of pseudo-free group actions on contractible manifolds
In this article, we announce joint work with Frank Connolly and Jim Davis [6]. This follows an earlier case study of pseudo-free involutions on the n-torus carried out in [5]. The author is grateful to the organizers of the RIMS conferences where these results were disseminated in Asia: Transformation Groups and Surgery Theory (Masayuki Yamasaki, August 2010), Transformation Groups and Combinat...
متن کاملTorsion in Loop Space Homology of Rationally Contractible Spaces
Let R be a torsion free principal ideal domain. We study the growth of torsion in loop space homology of simply-connected DGR-coalgebras C, whose homology admits an exponent r in R. Here by loop space homology we mean the homology of the loop algebra construction on C. We compute a bound on the growth of torsion in such objects and show that in general this bound is best possible. Our methods a...
متن کاملOn Pseudo-hermitian Einstein Spaces
We describe and construct here pseudo-Hermitian structures θ without torsion (i.e. with transversal symmetry) whose Webster-Ricci curvature tensor is a constant multiple of the exterior differential dθ. We call these structures pseudo-Hermitian Einstein and our result states that they all can be derived locally from Kähler-Einstein metrics. Moreover, we discuss the corresponding Fefferman metri...
متن کاملSpaces of pseudo-Riemannian geodesics and pseudo-Euclidean billiards
Many classical facts in Riemannian geometry have their pseudoRiemannian analogs. For instance, the spaces of space-like and timelike geodesics on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold have natural symplectic structures (just like in the Riemannian case), while the space of light-like geodesics has a natural contact structure. We discuss the geometry of these structures in detail, as well as introduce an...
