Finite Spaces and Quillen’s Conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce finite spaces and explain their relations to sets with reflexive and transitive relations and to simplicial complexes. We introduce Quillen’s conjecture: If Ap(G) is weakly contractible then G has a nontrivial normal p-subgroup. We use Quillen’s method to show this is true for solvable groups.

On the K-theory of Finite Fields
In this talk we introduce higher algebraicK-groups via Quillen’s plus construction.We then give a brief tour of algebraicK-theory and its relation to stable homotopy theory and number theory — in particular noting that aK-theory computation of the integers is equivalent to the Kummer–Vandiver conjecture. We next state Quillen’s computations of the K-theory of Fq and Fq. The remainder of the tal...
متن کاملQuillen’s Work on the Adams Conjecture
In the 1960’s and 1970’s, the Adams Conjecture figured prominently both in homotopy theory and in geometric topology. Quillen sketched one way to attack the conjecture and then proved it with an entirely different line of argument. Both of his approaches led to spectacular and beautiful new mathematics. 1. Background on the Adams Conjecture For a finite CW -complex X, let KO(X) be the Grothendi...
متن کاملA Method for Integral Cohomology of Posets
Homotopy type of partially ordered sets (poset for short) play a crucial role in algebraic topology. In fact, every space is weakly equivalent to a simplicial complex which, of course, can be considered as a poset. Posets also arise in more specific contexts as homological decompositions [10, 6, 16, 20] and subgroups complexes associated to finite groups [7, 26, 4]. The easy structure of a pose...
متن کاملFinite Groups and Finite Spaces
We shall explain some of the results and questions in a beautiful 1978 paper [3] by Daniel Quillen. He relates properties of groups to homotopy properties of the simplicial complexes of certain posets constructed from the group. He does not explicitly think of these posets as finite topological spaces. He seems to have been unaware of the earlier papers of McCord [2] and Stong [4] that we have ...
متن کاملOn Simplicial Commutative Rings with Vanishing André-quillen Homology
We propose a generalization of a conjecture of D. Quillen, on the vanishing of André-Quillen homology, to simplicial commutative rings. This conjecture characterizes a notion of local complete intersection, extended to the simplicial setting, under a suitable hypothesis on the local characteristic. Further, under the condition of finite-type homology, we then prove the conjecture in the case of...
