Homotopy Classification of Maps into Homogeneous Spaces
We give an alternative to Postnikov’s homotopy classification of maps from 3-dimensional CW-complexes to homogeneous spaces G/H of Lie groups. It describes homotopy classes in terms of lifts to the group G and is suitable for extending the notion of homotopy to Sobolev maps. This is required in applications to variational problems of mathematical physics.
متن کاملARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY Interpolation in Lie Groups and Homogeneous Spaces
We consider interpolation in Lie groups and homogeneous spaces. Based on points on the manifold together with tangent vectors at (some of) these points, we construct Hermite interpolation polynomials. If the points and tangent vectors are produced in the process of integrating an ordinary di erential equation on a Lie group or a homogeneous space, we use the truncated inverse of the di erential...
متن کاملKakeya Configurations in Lie Groups and Homogeneous Spaces
In this paper, we study continuous Kakeya line and needle configurations, of both the oriented and unoriented varieties, in connected Lie groups and some associated homogenous spaces. These are the analogs of Kakeya line (needle) sets (subsets of Rn where it is possible to turn a line (respectively an interval of unit length) through all directions continuously, without repeating a “direction”....
متن کاملBounded Trajectories in Homogeneous Spaces of Semisimple Lie Groups
This is a report on a joint work with G.A. Margulis. The problem to be discussed is apparently motivated by number theory, more precisely, by problems in Diophantine approximation. Let us start by recalling that the set B of badly approximable real numbers has full Hausdorff dimension at any point, in other words, for any nonempty open subset W of R, dim(W ∩ B) = 1 (cf. [J,S]). On the other han...
متن کاملSelf-maps of Classifying Spaces of Compact Simple Lie Groups
We describe here the set [BG, BG] of homotopy classes of self-maps of the classifying space BG , for any compact connected simple Lie group G. In particular, we show that two maps ƒ , f : BG —• BG are homotopic if and only if they are homotopic after restricting to the maximal torus of G ; or equivalently if and only if they induce the same homomorphism in rational cohomology. In addition, we i...
