All Questions

When all exact sequences split in $C$, we have $\Omega B C \simeq K(C):=\Omega Q(C)$. Heuristically, this is because the space of upper-triangular matrices is contractible. Can this be made precise? I ...

Let $k$ be a field (say, algebraically closed to fix the ideas) and let $X$ be a strict (aka simple) normal crossing variety over $k$, so that $X$ is union of regular varieties with intersection that ...

Can a homotopy domination by a space supporting a free action of $G$ be promoted to a homotopy equivalence with such a space? As stated, this is not a serious question (multiply by an $EG$). But with ...

In Thomason's paper Algebraic K-theory and étale cohomology, (Ann. ENS 1985, Numdam link) Thomason develops an elaborate theory of hypercohomology spectra, $\mathbb{H}(X,\mathcal{F})$ for presheafs of ...

I'm studying Stefan Bauer's paper The homotopy type of a 4-manifold with finite fundamental group. In: tom Dieck T. (eds) Algebraic Topology and Transformation Groups. Lecture Notes in Mathematics,...

Let $A$ be a ring. The $K_0$ group of $A$ can be defined in most old fashioned way as the Grothendieck group of the set of isomorphism classes of its finitely generated projective $R$ modules, ...
