An Elementary Differential Extension of Odd K-theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is an equivalence relation on the set of smooth maps of a manifold into the stable unitary group, defined using a Chern-Simons type form, whose equivalence classes form an abelian group under ordinary block sum of matrices. This construction is functorial, and defines a differential extension of odd K-theory, fitting into natural commutative diagrams and exact sequences involving K-theory and differential forms. To prove this we obtain along the way several results concerning even and odd Chern and ChernSimons forms.

The Inverse Galois Problem for Nilpotent Groups of Odd Order
Consider any nilpotent group G of finite odd order. We ask if we can always find a galois extension K of Q such that Gal(K/Q) ∼= G. This is the famous Inverse Galois Problem applied to nilpotent groups of finite odd order. By solving the Group Extension Problem and the Embedding Problem, two problems that are related to the Inverse Galois Problem, we show that such a K always exists. A major re...
متن کاملA Loop Group Extension of the Odd Chern Character
We show that the universal odd Chern form, defined on the stable unitary group U , extends to the loop group LU as an equivariantly closed differential form. This provides an odd analogue to the Bismut-Chern form that appears in supersymmetric field theories. We also describe the associated transgression form, the so-called Bismut-Chern-Simons form, and explicate some properties it inherits as ...
متن کاملInterpretations and differential Galois extensions. DRAFT
We give model-theoretic accounts and proofs of the following results: Suppose ∂y = Ay is a linear differential equation over a differential field K of characteristic 0, and the field CK of constants of K is existentially closed in K. Then: (i) There exists a Picard-Vessiot extension L of K, namely a differential field extension L of K which is generated by a fundamental system of solutions of t...
متن کاملThe extension algebra of some cohomological Mackey functors
Let k be a field of characteristic p. We construct a new inflation functor for cohomological Mackey functors for finite groups over k. Using this inflation functor, we give an explicit presentation of the graded algebra of self extensions of the simple functor S 1 , when p is odd and G is an elementary abelian p-group.
