Download or read book Rational S 1 Equivariant Stable Homotopy Theory written by John Patrick Campbell Greenlees and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoir presents a systematic study of rational S1-equivariant cohomology theories, and a complete algebraic model for them. It provides a classification of such cohomology theories in simple algebraic terms and a practical means of calculation. The power of the model is illustrated by analysis of the Segal conjecture, the behaviour of the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, the structure of S1-equivariant K-theory, and the rational behaviour of cyclotomic spectra and the topological cyclic homology construction.

Download or read book Equivariant Stable Homotopy Theory written by L. Gaunce Jr. Lewis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a foundational piece of work in stable homotopy theory and in the theory of transformation groups. It may be roughly divided into two parts. The first part deals with foundations of (equivariant) stable homotopy theory. A workable category of CW-spectra is developed. The foundations are such that an action of a compact Lie group is considered throughout, and spectra allow desuspension by arbitrary representations. But even if the reader forgets about group actions, he will find many details of the theory worked out for the first time. More subtle constructions like smash products, function spectra, change of group isomorphisms, fixed point and orbit spectra are treated. While it is impossible to survey properly the material which is covered in the book, it does boast these general features: (i) a thorough and reliable presentation of the foundations of the theory; (ii) a large number of basic results, principal applications, and fundamental techniques presented for the first time in a coherent theory, unifying numerous treatments of special cases in the literature.
Download or read book Equivariant Homotopy and Cohomology Theory written by J. Peter May and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces equivariant homotopy, homology, and cohomology theory, along with various related topics in modern algebraic topology. It explains the main ideas behind some of the most striking recent advances in the subject. The works begins with a development of the equivariant algebraic topology of spaces culminating in a discussion of the Sullivan conjecture that emphasizes its relationship with classical Smith theory. The book then introduces equivariant stable homotopy theory, the equivariant stable homotopy category, and the most important examples of equivariant cohomology theories. The basic machinery that is needed to make serious use of equivariant stable homotopy theory is presented next, along with discussions of the Segal conjecture and generalized Tate cohomology. Finally, the book gives an introduction to "brave new algebra", the study of point-set level algebraic structures on spectra and its equivariant applications. Emphasis is placed on equivariant complex cobordism, and related results on that topic are presented in detail.

Download or read book Control and Relaxation over the Circle written by Bruce Hughes and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work formulates and proves a geometric version of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory which relates the K-theory of the Laurent polynomial extension of a ring to the K-theory of the ring. The geometric version relates the higher simple homotopy theory of the product of a finite complex and a circle with that of the complex. By using methods of controlled topology, we also obtain a geometric version of the fundamental theorem of lower algebraic K-theory. The main new innovation is a geometrically defined nil space.
Download or read book Special Groups written by M. A. Dickmann and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a systematic study of Special Groups, a first-order universal-existential axiomatization of the theory of quadratic forms, which comprises the usual theory over fields of characteristic different from 2, and is dual to the theory of abstract order spaces. The heart of our theory begins in Chapter 4 with the result that Boolean algebras have a natural structure of reduced special group. More deeply, every such group is canonically and functorially embedded in a certain Boolean algebra, its Boolean hull. This hull contains a wealth of information about the structure of the given special group, and much of the later work consists in unveiling it. Thus, in Chapter 7 we introduce two series of invariants "living" in the Boolean hull, which characterize the isometry of forms in any reduced special group. While the multiplicative series--expressed in terms of meet and symmetric difference--constitutes a Boolean version of the Stiefel-Whitney invariants, the additive series--expressed in terms of meet and join--, which we call Horn-Tarski invariants, does not have a known analog in the field case; however, the latter have a considerably more regular behaviour. We give explicit formulas connecting both series, and compute explicitly the invariants for Pfister forms and their linear combinations. In Chapter 9 we combine Boolean-theoretic methods with techniques from Galois cohomology and a result of Voevodsky to obtain an affirmative solution to a long standing conjecture of Marshall concerning quadratic forms over formally real Pythagorean fields. Boolean methods are put to work in Chapter 10 to obtain information about categories of special groups, reduced or not. And again in Chapter 11 to initiate the model-theoretic study of the first-order theory of reduced special groups, where, amongst other things we determine its model-companion. The first-order approach is also present in the study of some outstanding classes of morphisms carried out in Chapter 5, e.g., the pure embeddings of special groups. Chapter 6 is devoted to the study of special groups of continuous functions.
Download or read book Quantum Linear Groups and Representations of GL n mathbb F q written by Jonathan Brundan and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We give a self-contained account of the results originating in the work of James and the second author in the 1980s relating the representation theory of GL[n(F[q) over fields of characteristic coprime to q to the representation theory of "quantum GL[n" at roots of unity. The new treatment allows us to extend the theory in several directions. First, we prove a precise functorial connection between the operations of tensor product in quantum GL[n and Harish-Chandra induction in finite GL[n. This allows us to obtain a version of the recent Morita theorem of Cline, Parshall and Scott valid in addition for p-singular classes. From that we obtain simplified treatments of various basic known facts, such as the computation of decomposition numbers and blocks of GL[n(F[q) from knowledge of the same for the quantum group, and the non-defining analogue of Steinberg's tensor product theorem. We also easily obtain a new double centralizer property between GL[n(F[[q) and quantum GL[n, generalizing a result of Takeuchi. Finally, we apply the theory to study the affine general linear group, following ideas of Zelevinsky in characteristic zero. We prove results that can be regarded as the modular analogues of Zelevinsky's and Thoma's branching rules. Using these, we obtain a new dimension formula for the irreducible cross-characteristic representations of GL[n(F[q), expressing their dimensions in terms of the characters of irreducible modules over the quantum group.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the case where the norms are induced by metrics on the fibres of ${\mathcal L}$, we establish the functoriality of the sectional capacity under base change, pullbacks by finite surjective morphisms, and products. We study the continuity of $S Gamma(\overline{\mathcal L})$ under variation of the metric and line bundle, and we apply this to show that the notion of $v$-adic sets in $X(\mathbb C v)$ of capacity $0$ is well-defined. Finally, we show that sectional capacities for arbitrary norms can be well-approximated using objects of finite type.
Download or read book The Dirichlet Problem for Parabolic Operators with Singular Drift Terms written by Steve Hofmann and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir considers the Dirichlet problem for parabolic operators in a half space with singular drift terms. Chapter I begins the study of a parabolic PDE modelled on the pullback of the heat equation in certain time varying domains considered by Lewis-Murray and Hofmann-Lewis. Chapter II obtains mutual absolute continuity of parabolic measure and Lebesgue measure on the boundary of this halfspace and also that the $L DEGREESq(R DEGREESn)$ Dirichlet problem for these PDEs has a solution when $q$ is large enough. Chapter III proves an analogue of a theorem of Fefferman, Kenig, and Pipher for certain parabolic PDEs with singular drift terms. Each of the chapters that comprise this memoir has its own numbering system and list

Download or read book Sobolev Met Poincare written by Piotr Hajłasz and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several generalizations of the classical theory of Sobolev spaces as they are necessary for the applications to Carnot-Caratheodory spaces, subelliptic equations, quasiconformal mappings on Carnot groups and more general Loewner spaces, analysis on topological manifolds, potential theory on infinite graphs, analysis on fractals and the theory of Dirichlet forms. The aim of this paper is to present a unified approach to the theory of Sobolev spaces that covers applications to many of those areas. The variety of different areas of applications forces a very general setting. We are given a metric space $X$ equipped with a doubling measure $\mu$. A generalization of a Sobolev function and its gradient is a pair $u\in L^{1}_{\rm loc}(X)$, $0\leq g\in L^{p}(X)$ such that for every ball $B\subset X$ the Poincare-type inequality $ \intbar_{B} u-u_{B} \, d\mu \leq C r ( \intbar_{\sigma B} g^{p}\, d\mu)^{1/p}\,$ holds, where $r$ is the radius of $B$ and $\sigma\geq 1$, $C>0$ are fixed constants. Working in the above setting we show that basically all relevant results from the classical theory have their counterparts in our general setting. These include Sobolev-Poincare type embeddings, Rellich-Kondrachov compact embedding theorem, and even a version of the Sobolev embedding theorem on spheres. The second part of the paper is devoted to examples and applications in the above mentioned areas.

Download or read book Non Additive Exact Functors and Tensor Induction for Mackey Functors written by Serge Bouc and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First the author introduces a generalization of the notion of (right)-exact functor between abelian categories to the case of non-additive functors. The main result of this section is an extension theorem: any functor defined on a suitable subcategory can be extended uniquely to a right exact functor defined on the whole category. Next those results are used to define various functors of generalized tensor induction, associated to finite bisets, between categories attached to finite groups. This includes a definition of tensor induction for Mackey functors, for cohomological Mackey functors, for p-permutation modules and algebras. This also gives a single formalism of bisets for restriction, inflation, and ordinary tensor induction for modules.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homogeneous integral table algebras of degree three with a faithful real element. The algebras of the title are classified to exact isomorphism; that is, the sets of structure constants which arise from the given basis are completely determined. Other results describe all possible extensions (pre-images), with a faithful element which is not necessarily real, of certain simple homogeneous integral table algebras of degree three. On antisymmetric homogeneous integral table algebras of degree three. This paper determines the homogeneous integral table algebras of degree three in which the given basis has a faithful element and has no nontrivial elements that are either real (symmetric) or linear, and where an additional hypothesis is satisfied. It is shown that all such bases must occur as the set of orbit sums in the complex group algebra of a finite abelian group under the action of a fixed-point-free automorphism oforder three. Homogeneous integral table algebras of degree three with no nontrivial linear elements. The algebras of the title which also have a faithful element are determined to exact isomorphism. All of the simple homogeneous integral table algebras of degree three are displayed, and the commutative association schemes in which all the nondiagonal relations have valency three and where some relation defines a connected graph on the underlying set are classified up to algebraic isomorphism.
