Homotopy of Unitary sphere in a Banach space and finite dimensional spheres

Let $E$ be a Banach space, $X_1, X_2, \ldots $ be a numerable collection of finite dimensional subspaces $X_1\subset X_2$ with dimension tending to infinity, denote by $S^n$ the u …

Simple homotopy type of interval bundles over surfaces

Consider a locally trivial (topological) bundle over the Klein bottle $$ I\to E \to K$$ The projection map $E \to K$ is a homotopy equivalence. Is it a simple homotopy equivalence? Du …

Conjugacy of topological actions on aspherical three manifolds to isometric actions

Edited: Due to work of Raymond and Scott, there exist diffemorphisms (of certain three-dimensional nil-manifolds) whose $n$th power is diffeotopic to the identity, but which are not themselves …
