چکیده

The first paper [10] (whose results were announced in [8]) developed the necessary ‘algebra of cubes’. Categories G of ω-groupoids and C of crossed complexes were defined, and the principal result of [10] was an equivalence of categories γ : G → C. Also established were a version of the homotopy addition lemma, and properties of ‘thin’ elements, in an ω-groupoid. In particular it was proved that an ω-groupoid is a special kind of Kan cubical complex, in that every box has a unique thin filler. All these results will be used here.

Motivic Cell Structures

An object in motivic homotopy theory is called cellular if it can be built out of motivic spheres using homotopy colimit constructions. We explore some examples and consequences of cellularity. We explain why the algebraic K-theory and algebraic cobordism spectra are both cellular, and prove some Künneth theorems for cellular objects.

Algebraic Colimit Calculations in Homotopy Theory Using Fibred and Cofibred Categories

Higher Homotopy van Kampen Theorems allow some colimit calculations of certain homotopical invariants of glued spaces. One corollary is to describe homotopical excision in critical dimensions in terms of induced modules and crossed modules over groupoids. This paper shows how fibred and cofibred categories give an overall context for discussing and computing such constructions, allowing one res...

Characteristics of Categories And

In a previous article, we introduced notions of finiteness obstruction , Euler characteristic, and L 2-Euler characteristic for wide classes of categories. In this sequel, we prove the compatibility of those notions with homo-topy colimits of I-indexed categories where I is any small category admitting a finite I-CW-model for its I-classifying space. Special cases of our Homotopy Colimit Formul...

The Action by Natural Transformations of a Group on a Diagram of Spaces

For C a G-category, we give a condition on a diagram of simplicial sets indexed on C that allows us to define a natural G-action on its homotopy colimit, and in some other simplicial sets and categories defined in terms of the diagram. Well-known theorems on homeomorphisms and homotopy equivalences are generalized to an equivariant version.

A colimit of classifying spaces Graham

We recall a group-theoretic description of the first non-vanishing homotopy group of a certain (n+1)-ad of spaces and show how it yields several formulae for homotopy and homology groups of specific spaces. In particular we obtain an alternative proof of J. Wu’s group-theoretic description of the homotopy groups of a 2-sphere.
