Segal’s Multisimplicial Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
Some sufficient conditions on a simplicial space X : ∆ → Top guaranteeing that X1 ≃ Ω|X| were given by Segal. We give a generalization of this result for multisimplicial spaces. This generalization is appropriate for the reduced bar construction, providing an n-fold delooping of the classifying space of a category.

Spaces of Rational Maps and the Stone-weierstrass Theorem
It is shown that Segal’s theorem on the spaces of rational maps from CP to CPn can be extended to the spaces of continuous rational maps from CPm to CPn for any m 6 n. The tools are the Stone-Weierstraß theorem and Vassiliev’s machinery of simplicial resolutions.
متن کاملIterated Wreath Product of the Simplex Category and Iterated Loop Spaces
Generalising Segal’s approach to 1-fold loop spaces, the homotopy theory of n-fold loop spaces is shown to be equivalent to the homotopy theory of reduced Θn-spaces, where Θn is an iterated wreath-product of the simplex category ∆. A sequence of functors from Θn to Γ allows for an alternative description of the Segal-spectrum associated to a Γ-space. In particular, each Eilenberg-MacLane space ...
متن کاملConformal Field Theory as a Nuclear Functor
We consider Segal’s categorical approach to conformal field theory (CFT). Segal constructed a category whose objects are finite families of circles, and whose morphisms are Riemann surfaces with boundary compatible with the families of circles in the domain and codomain. A CFT is then defined to be a functor to the category of Hilbert spaces, preserving the appropriate structure. In particular,...
متن کاملString Backgrounds and Homotopy Algebras
String backgrounds are described as purely geometric objects related to moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, in the spirit of Segal’s definition of a conformal field theory. Relations with conformal field theory, topological field theory and topological gravity are studied. For each field theory, an algebraic counterpart, the (homotopy) algebra satisfied by the tree level correlators, is construc...
متن کاملIntroduction to Quantum Mechanics
The purpose of this contribution is to give a very brief introduction to Quantum Mechanics for an audience of mathematicians. I will follow Segal’s approach to Quantum Mechanics paying special attention to algebraic issues. The usual representation of Quantum Mechanics on Hilbert spaces is also discussed.
