Selt homotopy equivalences of virtually nilpotent spaces *
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to prove Theorem 1.1 below, a generalization to virtually nilpotent spaces of a result of Wilkerson [13] and Sullivan [12]. We recall that a CW complex Y is virtually nilpotent if (i) Y is connected, (ii) 7r~ Y is virtually nilpotent (i.e. has a nilpotent subgroup of finite index) and (iii) for every integer n > 1, zr~Y has a subgroup of finite index which acts nilpotently on 7r, Y. The class of virtually nilpotent spaces is much larger than the class of nilpotent spaces. For instance such non-nilpotent spaces as the Klein bottle and the real projective spaces are virtually nilpotent, and so is, of course, any connected space with a finite fundamental group.

The Group of Self Homotopy Equivalences of Some Localized Aspherical Complexes
By studying the group of self homotopy equivalences of the localization (at a prime p and/or zero) of some aspherical complexes, we show that, contrary to the case when the considered space is a nilpotent complex, E # (Xp) is in general different from E # (X)p . That is the case even when X = K(G, 1) is a finite complex and/or G satisfies extra finiteness or nilpotency conditions, for instance,...
متن کاملAndré–Quillen cohomology and rational homotopy of function spaces
We develop a simple theory of André–Quillen cohomology for commutative differential graded algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We then relate it to the homotopy groups of function spaces and spaces of homotopy self-equivalences of rational nilpotent CW-complexes. This puts certain results of Sullivan in a more conceptual framework. © 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
متن کاملManifolds with Fundamental Group a Generalized Free Product. I
This announcement describes new methods in the study and classification of differentiable, PI or topological manifolds with infinite fundamental group. If, for example, Y + l is a closed manifold with n^ = Gx *H G2, n> 4, there is a decomposition Y~YtUx Y2 with ir1(Yx) = G1,irl(Yl) = G2, itt(X) = H. For large classes of fundamental groups, the codimension one splitting theorems of [C3], extendi...
متن کاملEquivariant weak n-equivalences
The notion of n-type was introduced by J.H.C. Whitehead ([22, 23]) where its clear geometric meaning was presented. Following J.L. Hernandez and T. Porter ([12, 13]) we use the term weak n-equivalence for a map f : X → Y of path-connected spaces which induces isomorphisms πk(f) : πk(X)→ πk(Y ) on homotopy groups for k ≤ n. Certainly, weak n-equivalence of a map determines its n-connectedness bu...
متن کاملThe Localization of Spaces to Homology
The plausibility and desirability of such a functor E were shown by Adams [2]. To obtain an existence proof (§3), I will construct an appropriate localization functor on the category of simplicial sets and will show that it induces the desired h,-localization functor on Ho. The backbone of this proof is in an appendix ($10~$12), where I introduce a version of simplicial homotopy theory in which...
