A Vietoris Mapping Theorem for Homotopy

چکیده

Let X and Y be compact metric spaces and let a map /: X—> Y be onto. The Vietoris Mapping Theorem as proved by Vietoris [8] states that if for all Ofkrfkn-1 and all yEY, flr(/_1(y)) =0 (augmented Vietoris homology mod two) then the induced homomorphism /*: Hr(X)-+Hr(Y) is an isomorphism onto for rfkn — l and onto for r=n. Begle [l; 2] has generalized this theorem to nonmetric spaces and more general coefficient groups. Simple examples show that an analogous theorem does not hold directly for homotopy. However by imposing strong local connectedness conditions, results can be obtained. That is the idea of this paper. We prove:

The Vietoris-Rips complexes of a circle

Given a metric space X and a distance threshold r > 0, the Vietoris–Rips simplicial complex has as its simplices the finite subsets of X of diameter less than r. A theorem of JeanClaude Hausmann states that if X is a Riemannian manifold and r is sufficiently small, then the Vietoris–Rips complex is homotopy equivalent to the original manifold. Little is known about the behavior of Vietoris–Rips...

Vietoris-Rips and Cech Complexes of Metric Gluings

We study Vietoris–Rips and Čech complexes of metric wedge sums and metric gluings. We show that the Vietoris–Rips (resp. Čech) complex of a wedge sum, equipped with a natural metric, is homotopy equivalent to the wedge sum of the Vietoris–Rips (resp. Čech) complexes. We also provide generalizations for certain metric gluings, i.e. when two metric spaces are glued together along a common isometr...

TORIC VARIETIES, MONOID SCHEMES AND cdh DESCENT

We give conditions for the Mayer-Vietoris property to hold for the algebraic K-theory of blow-up squares of toric varieties and schemes, using the theory of monoid schemes. These conditions are used to relate algebraic K-theory to topological cyclic homology in characteristic p. To achieve our goals, we develop many notions for monoid schemes based on classical algebraic geometry, such as separ...

An Index for Set-valued Maps in Infinite- Dimensional Spaces

Previous fixed point indexes defined for a set-valued map in an infinite-dimensional space have required the values of this map to be convex sets. The corresponding assumption of this paper is that the values be (co-)acyclic sets, i.e., that the reduced Alexander cohomology group of each of these sets be trivial in each dimension. Other assumptions are that the space is locally convex and that ...
