Biequivariant Maps on Spheres and Topological Complexity of Lens Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
Weighted cup-length calculations in singular cohomology led Farber and Grant in 2008 to general lower bounds for the topological complexity of lens spaces. We replace singular cohomology by connective complex K-theory, and weighted cup-length arguments by considerations with biequivariant maps on spheres to improve on Farber–Grant’s bounds by arbitrarily large amounts. Our calculations are based on the identification of key elements conjectured to generate the annihilator ideal of the toral bottom class in the ku-homology of the classifying space for a rank-2 abelian 2-group.

Symmetric topological complexity of projective and lens spaces
For real projective spaces, (a) the Euclidean immersion dimension, (b) the existence of axial maps, and (c) the topological complexity are known to be three facets of the same problem. This paper describes the corresponding relationship between the symmetrized versions of (b) and (c) to the Euclidean embedding dimension of projective spaces. Extensions to the case of 2e torsion lens spaces and ...
متن کامل$L$-Topological Spaces
By substituting the usual notion of open sets in a topological space $X$ with a suitable collection of maps from $X$ to a frame $L$, we introduce the notion of L-topological spaces. Then, we proceed to study the classical notions and properties of usual topological spaces to the newly defined mathematical notion. Our emphasis would be concentrated on the well understood classical connectedness...
متن کاملON (L;M)-FUZZY CLOSURE SPACES
The aim of this paper is to introduce $(L,M)$-fuzzy closurestructure where $L$ and $M$ are strictly two-sided, commutativequantales. Firstly, we define $(L,M)$-fuzzy closure spaces and getsome relations between $(L,M)$-double fuzzy topological spaces and$(L,M)$-fuzzy closure spaces. Then, we introduce initial$(L,M)$-fuzzy closure structures and we prove that the category$(L,M)$-{bf FC} of $(L,M...
متن کاملNew fixed and periodic point results on cone metric spaces
In this paper, several fixed point theorems for T-contraction of two maps on cone metric spaces under normality condition are proved. Obtained results extend and generalize well-known comparable results in the literature.
