A Generalized Van Kampen-flores Theorem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The «-skeleton of a (2« + 2)-simplex does not embed in R " . This well-known result is due (independently) to van Kampen, 1932, and Flores, 1933, who proved the case p = 2 of the following: Theorem. Let p be a prime, and let s and I be positive integers such that l(P 1) < P{s 1). Then, for any continuous map f from a (ps + p 2)dimensional simplex into R , there must exist p points {xx, ... , x } , lying in pairwise disjoint faces of dimensions < s 1 of this simplex, such that f(xx ) = ••• = /(*„)•

On Generalized Heawood Inequalities for Manifolds: A Van Kampen-Flores-type Nonembeddability Result
The fact that the complete graph K5 does not embed in the plane has been generalized in two independent directions. On the one hand, the solution of the classical Heawood problem for graphs on surfaces established that the complete graph Kn embeds in a closed surface M if and only if (n − 3)(n − 4) ≤ 6b1(M), where b1(M) is the first Z2-Betti number of M . On the other hand, Van Kampen and Flore...
متن کاملGeneralized Zariski-van Kampen Theorem and Its Application to Grassmannian Dual Varieties
We formulate and prove a generalization of Zariski-van Kampen theorem on the topological fundamental groups of smooth complex algebraic varieties. As an application, we prove a hyperplane section theorem of Lefschetz-Zariski-van Kampen type for the fundamental groups of the complements to the Grassmannian dual varieties.
متن کاملOn van Kampen-Flores, Conway-Gordon-Sachs and Radon theorems
We exhibit relations between van Kampen-Flores, Conway-Gordon-Sachs and Radon theorems, by presenting direct proofs of some implications between them. The key idea is an interesting relation between the van Kampen and the ConwayGordon-Sachs numbers for restrictions of a map of (d + 2)-simplex to R to the (d+ 1)-face and to the [d/2]-skeleton. We exhibit relations between the following van Kampe...
متن کاملHigher Minors and Van Kampen’s Obstruction
We generalize the notion of graph minors to all (finite) simplicial complexes. For every two simplicial complexes H and K and every nonnegative integer m, we prove that if H is a minor of K then the non vanishing of Van Kampen’s obstruction in dimension m (a characteristic class indicating non embeddability in the (m−1)-sphere) for H implies its non vanishing for K. As a corollary, based on res...
متن کاملVan Kampen theorems for toposes
In this paper we introduce the notion of an extensive 2-category, to be thought of as a “2-category of generalized spaces”. We consider an extensive 2-category K equipped with a binary-product-preserving pseudofunctor C : K op → CAT, which we think of as specifying the “coverings” of our generalized spaces. We prove, in this context, a van Kampen theorem which generalizes and refines one of Bro...
