The upper bounds on rank $ 2 $ real matrices
Let $ A_{n}(F) $ be the collection of all skew-symmetric matrices over the field $ F $ ($\operatorname{char} F \neq 2 $). Let M be a subspace of $ A_{n}(F) $ such that all non zero elements have rank ...

What is the inverse in K-theory represented by Clifford module extensions?
I am working on a model for topological KO-theory which is represented by explicit spaces of orthogonal Clifford module extensions. That is, assuming $M$ compact, $KO^{-n+1}(M) := [M,X_n]$ where the ...

On the width of the Catalan monoid and the rank of K-groups of the Furstenberg transformation group
The semigroup algebra of the Catalan monoid is isomorphic to the incidence algebra of $P_n$, where $P_n$ is the poset consisting of subsets of { 1,...,n } where for two subsets $X \leq Y$ if and only ...

elementary matrices over a regular ring
Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$ with $n\geq 3$. Let $A$ be a regular ring and $\gamma\in GL_{n}(A)$. We suppose that $\gamma$ is homotopic to the identity, i.e. there exists $\alpha\in GL_{n}(A[X])$ such that $\...

A curious switch in infinite dimensions
Let $V$ be a finite dimensional real vector space. Let $GL(V)$ be the set of invertible linear transformations, and $\Phi(V)$ be the set of all linear transformations. We can also characterize $\Phi(V)...

A (possible) equivalent relation on the space of vector bundles
Edit: According to the essential comment of Alex Degtyarev, we revise the question as follows;
Assume that $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are two oriention preserving automorphism of Lie groups $O(n)$ and $...

Karoubi versus Kasparov K-theory
I have the following, probably very elementary question: Let $Cl^{p,q}$ be the Clifford algebra on generators $e_i$, $i=1, \ldots, p+q$
with $e_i e_j = -e_j e_i$ and $e_{i}^{2}=-1$ for $i=1,\ldots,p$, ...

Can I bound the degree of a contracting homotopy in an exact filtered complex?
Suppose that I have given you a bigraded vector space $V = \bigoplus_{i,j} V_{i,j}$. The first grading is a "homological" $\mathbb Z$-grading, and the second is an independent $\mathbb Z$-grading. ...
