Postnikov invariants of crossed complexes

چکیده
We determine the Postnikov tower and Postnikov invariants of a crossed complex in a purely algebraic way. Using the fact that crossed complexes are homotopy types for filtered spaces, we use the above “algebraically defined” Postnikov tower and Postnikov invariants to obtain from them those of filtered spaces. We argue that a similar “purely algebraic” approach to Postnikov invariants may also be used in other categories of spaces. 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

متن کاملAlgebraic Properties of Quasi-finite Complexes
A countable CW complexK is quasi-finite (as defined by A.Karasev [30]) if for every finite subcomplex M of K there is a finite subcomplex e(M) containing M such that any map f : A → M , A closed in a separable metric space X satisfying XτK, there is an extension g : X → e(M) of f . Levin’s [36] results imply that none of the Eilenberg-MacLane spaces K(G, 2) is quasi-finite if G = 0. In this pap...
متن کاملPostnikov “ Invariants ” in 2004
The very nature of the so-called Postnikov invariants is carefully studied. Two functors, precisely defined, explain the exact nature of the connection between the category of topological spaces and the category of Postnikov towers. On one hand, these functors are in particular effective and lead to concrete machine computations through the general machine program Kenzo. On the other hand, the ...
متن کاملPostnikov Extensions of Ring Spectra
We give a functorial construction of k-invariants for ring spectra, and use these to classify extensions in the Postnikov tower of a ring spectrum.
متن کاملSymmetries of Gromov-Witten Invariants
The group (Z/nZ) is shown to act on the Gromov-Witten invariants of the complex flag manifold. We also deduce several corollaries of this result.
