Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an additive category. I have two questions: Is there a conceptual explanation why $L(\mathcal{A})$ is 4-periodic, in the sense that $L_{i}(\mathcal{A})=L_{i+4}(\mathcal{A})$ for ...

Reading some articles in the field, I found the following statement: Proposition: Let $\mathcal{B}$ be an additive category and $\mathcal{A}$ a full additive subcategory of $\mathcal{B}$. If $\mathcal{...

It is know that Borromean rings can be detected by Milnor invariant $$ \bar{\mu}(\gamma_1,\gamma_2,\gamma_3)= \# (\Sigma_1 \cap \Sigma_2 \cap \Sigma_3)-\frac{1}{2}\sum_{I,J,K}\epsilon_{IJK} \sum_{\...

In this post I would like to propose a quartic link in a 5-sphere. Let us start with the following gluing into a 5-sphere: $$S^5=(D^2_{} \times T^3_{}) \cup_{T^4} ({S^5 \smallsetminus D^2 \times T^3})...

We are familiar with Künneth theorem: The Kunneth formula is given by $R$ as a ring, $M,M'$ as the R-modules, $X,X'$ are some chain complex. The Kunneth formula shows the cohomology of a chain ...

Step 1: We glue two sets of complement space of $D^2\times T^2$ out of the 4-sphere $S^4$, through their $T^3$ boundary with their three $S^1$ boundaries of $T^3$ cyclic permuted to obtain a new 4-...
