چکیده

commutes up to homotopy where T is the map that exchanges factors. Let L be a space and let be a fibration over L classified by a mapf L BF (the classifying space of stable spherical fibrations). We can form the Thom spectrum T(f) of f as a suspension spectrum by letting (T(f)) be the Thorn complex of L n--YBFn where L is the n-skeleton of L. This makes T(f)-{(T(f))n) into a suspension spectrum. Spectra which arise in this fashion have a unit which is the inclusion of the fiber on the Thorn class. Natural examples of maps f:L BF give a plethora of interesting spectra: among them are K(Z2, 0), K(Z, 0), the Brown-Gitler spectrum, and a spectrum for which the secondary operation of Adams j,j [1] is defined and non-zero on the Thom class. Frequently, the Thom spectra which we obtain in this manner are commutative ring spectra. A useful feature of these Thom spectra is that they admit particularly nice resolutions. Consequently, these spectra give rise to

Units of Ring Spectra and Thom Spectra

We review and extend the theory of Thom spectra and the associated obstruction theory for orientations. Specifically, we show that for an E∞ ring spectrum A, the classical construction of gl1A, the spectrum of units, is the right adjoint of the functor Σ∞+ Ω ∞ : ho(connective spectra) → ho(E∞ ring spectra). To a map of spectra f : b → bgl1A, we associate an E∞ A-algebra Thom spectrum Mf , which...

The spectra ko and ku are not Thom spectra: an approach using THH

We apply an announced result of Blumberg-Cohen-Schlichtkrull to reprove (under restricted hypotheses) a theorem of Mahowald: the connective real and complex K-theory spectra are not Thom spectra. The construction of various bordism theories as Thom spectra served as a motivating example for the development of highly structured ring spectra. Various other examples of Thom spectra followed; for i...

Syntheses, Characterization and Solvatochromism Study of Heteroleptic Chelated Copper(II) Complexes Containing N,N- dibezyl Substituted Ethylenediamine and Acetylacetonate Ligands

A series of new heteroleptic chelated copper(II) complexes that encompass N,N-dibezyl substituted derivative of ethylenediamine (X-diamine) and acetylacetonate (acac) were prepared.  The IR and electronic absorption spectra and the molar conductivity of the complexes are presented and discussed.  The molar conductivity values of the complexes in different solvents reveals a predominance of elec...

Topological Hochschild Homology of Thom Spectra and the Free Loop Space

We describe the topological Hochschild homology of ring spectra that arise as Thom spectra for loop maps f : X → BF , where BF denotes the classifying space for stable spherical fibrations. To do this, we consider symmetric monoidal models of the category of spaces over BF and corresponding strong symmetric monoidal Thom spectrum functors. Our main result identifies the topological Hochschild h...

Synthesis, Spectroscopy and Magnetic Characterization of Five Dinuclear Copper(II) Complexes with 2, 3 or 4-Pyridinemethanol as the Ligand

The synthesis, spectroscopy and magnetic characterization of five new dinuclear copper(II) complexes are described. All five compounds have the general formula [Cu2(L)4(O-R)2](Cl)2 or [Cu2(L)2(Cl)2](Cl)2, in which R = CH3 or H, L=2, 3 or 4-pyridinemethanol as L2, L3 or L4, respectively. The title compounds consist of dinuclear units with bridging methoxo groups in [Cu2(L4)4(O-CH3)2](Cl)2, hydro...
