triviality of homology with local coefficients

Let $X$ be a manifold or a CW-complex. Let $\pi: \tilde X\longrightarrow X$ be a covering map. Let $\pi_1(X)$ be the fundamental group of $X$ and let $\rho: \pi_1(X)\longrightarrow O(n)$ be an ...

can the actions of fundamental groups annihilate homology?

Let $X$ be a path-connected manifold (or a CW complex). Let $\pi_1(X)$ be the fundamental group of $X$. Let $\pi: \tilde X\longrightarrow X$ be a covering map. For each $m\geq 0$, let $C_m(\tilde X)$ ...

A formula for isotropy group $\pi_1(G_a)$

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group and $T$ be its maximal tours, and $a\in \mathfrak{g}^*$. and $G_a$ be the isotropy group of $G$ then $T\subset G_a$ and we know that $\pi_1(T)=\mathbb{Z}^n$. My ...
