Metric Fibrations from Simply Connected Rank---One Projective Spaces

Homotopy Categories for Simply Connected Torsion Spaces

For each n > 1 and each multiplicative closed set of integers S, we study closed model category structures on the pointed category of topological spaces, where the class of weak equivalences are classes of maps inducing isomorphism on homotopy groups with coefficients in determined torsion abelian groups, in degrees higher than or equal to n. We take coefficients either on all the cyclic groups...

Injectivity radius and Cartan polyhedron for simply connected symmetric spaces

We explore relationship between the cut locus of an arbitrary simply connected and compact Riemannian symmetric space and the Cartan polyhedron of corresponding restricted root system, and compute injectivity radius and diameter for every type of irreducible ones.

The Asymptotic Rank of Metric Spaces

In this article we define and study a notion of asymptotic rank for metric spaces and show in our main theorem that for a large class of spaces, the asymptotic rank is characterized by the growth of the higher filling functions. For a proper, cocompact, simplyconnected geodesic metric space of non-curvature in the sense of Alexandrov the asymptotic rank equals its Euclidean rank.

On digital simply connected spaces and manifolds: a digital simply connected 3-manifold is the digital 3-sphere

In the framework of digital topology, we study structural and topological properties of digital ndimensional manifolds. We introduce the notion of simple connectedness of a digital space and prove that if M and N are homotopy equivalent digital spaces and M is simply connected, then so is N. We show that a simply connected digital 2-manifold is the digital 2-sphere and a simply connected digita...
