Finite Connected H-spaces Are Contractible
The non-Hausdorff suspension of the one-sphere S1 of complex numbers fails to model the group’s continuous multiplication. Moreover, finite connected H-spaces are contractible, and therefore cannot model infinite connected non-contractible H-spaces. For an H-space and a finite model of the topology, the multiplication can be realized on the finite model after barycentric subdivision.
متن کاملInteriors of Compact Contractible N-manifolds Are Hyperbolic (n 5)
The interior of every compact contractible PL n-manifold (n 5) supports a complete geodesic metric of strictly negative curvature. This provides a new family of simple examples illustrating the negative answer to a question of M. Gromov which asks whether metrically convex geodesic spaces which are topological manifolds must be homeomorphic to Euclidean spaces. The rst examples verifying the ne...
متن کاملA Class of Lattices Whose Intervals are Spherical or Contractible
We study a class of lattices called weak* complemented lattices which are shown to have the property that the order complex of any interval of the lattice is either contractible or homotopy equivalent to a sphere. The two main examples are lattices generated by intervals in a total order and the lattices of partitions of integers under dominance order. The proofs are done mainly using homotopy ...
متن کاملThe proper scope of governments when costs are contractible
We discuss the relative merits of public and private ownership. Our starting point is the analysis of Hart, Schleifer and Vishney (HSV), who apply an incomplete contract framework to study the difference between private and public ownership. Our analysis departs from HSV’s model in two aspects. First, we allow for cost-sharing contracts between the government and the firm. Second, we assume tha...
متن کاملA Stably Contractible C*-algebra Which Is Not Contractible
We exhibit a separable commutative C*-algebra A such that A⊗K is homotopy equivalent to zero, without Mn(A) being so for any n ≥ 1.
