ec 2 00 5 MOMENT - ANGLE COMPLEXES , MONOMIAL IDEALS , AND MASSEY PRODUCTS
Associated to every finite simplicial complex K there is a “moment-angle” finite CW-complex, ZK ; if K is a triangulation of a sphere, ZK is a smooth, compact manifold. Building on work of Buchstaber, Panov, and Baskakov, we study the cohomology ring, the homotopy groups, and the triple Massey products of a moment-angle complex, relating these topological invariants to the algebraic combinatori...
متن کاملL 2 - Topological Invariants of 3 - manifolds by John Lott and Wolfgang Lück
We give results on the L2-Betti numbers and Novikov-Shubin invariants of compact manifolds, especially 3-manifolds. We first study the Betti numbers and Novikov-Shubin invariants of a chain complex of Hilbert modules over a finite von Neumann algebra. We establish inequalities among the Novikov-Shubin invariants of the terms in a short exact sequence of chain complexes. Our algebraic results, a...

متن کاملComplexity of PL manifolds
We extend Matveev’s complexity of 3-manifolds to PL compact manifolds of arbitrary dimension, and we study its properties. The complexity of a manifold is the minimum number of vertices in a simple spine. We study how this quantity changes under the most common topological operations (handle additions, finite coverings, drilling and surgery of spheres, products, connected sums) and its relation...
متن کاملEquivariant Lefschetz Maps for Simplicial Complexes and Smooth Manifolds
Let X be a locally compact space with a continuous proper action of a locally compact group G. Assuming that X satisfies a certain kind of duality in equivariant bivariant Kasparov theory, we can enrich the classical construction of Lefschetz numbers to equivariant K-homology classes. We compute the Lefschetz invariants for self-maps of finite-dimensional simplicial complexes and of self-maps o...
