We prove that the Morava-$K$-theory-based Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence has good convergence properties whenever the base space is a $p$-local finite Postnikov system with vanishing $(n+1)$st homotopy group.
We set up machinery for recognizing k-cellular modules and k-cellular approximations, where k is an R-module and R is either a ring or a ring-spectrum. Using this machinery we can identify the target of the Eilenberg-Moore cohomology spectral sequence for a fibration in various cases. In this manner we get new proofs for known results concerning the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence and generalize another result.
K. Borsuk in 1979, in the Topological Conference in Moscow, introduced the concept of the capacity of a compactum and asked some questions concerning properties of the capacity of compacta. In this paper, we give partial positive answers to three of these questions in some cases. In fact, by describing spaces homotopy dominated by Moore and Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, we obtain the capacity of a Moore space $M(A,n)$ and an Eilenberg-MacLane space $K(G,n)$. Also, we compute the capacity of the wedge sum of finitely many Moore spaces of different degrees and the capacity of the product of finitely…
We prove the equivalence of several hypotheses that have appeared recently in the literature for studying left Bousfield localization and algebras over a monad. We find conditions so that there is a model structure for local algebras, so that localization preserves algebras, and so that localization lifts to the level of algebras. We include examples coming from the theory of colored operads, and applications to spaces, spectra, and chain complexes.
The purpose of this paper is to give applications of the Eilenberg-Moore type spectral sequence converging to the relative loop homology algebra of a Gorenstein space, which is introduced in the previous paper due to the authors. Moreover, it is proved that the spectral sequence is functorial on the category of simply-connected Poincaré duality spaces over a space.
We show that in the category of complex algebraic varieties, the Eilenberg--Moore spectral sequence can be endowed with a weight filtration. This implies that it degenerates if all involved spaces have pure cohomology. As application, we compute the rational cohomology of an algebraic $G$-variety $X$ ($G$ being a connected algebraic group) in terms of its equivariant cohomology provided that $H_G(X)$ is pure. This is the case, for example, if $X$ is smooth and has only finitely many orbits. We work in the category of mixed sheaves; therefore our results apply equally to (equivariant) intersect…
Let $G$ be a smooth connected reductive group over a field $k$ and $Γ$ be a central subgroup of $G$. We construct Eilenberg-Moore-type spectral sequences converging to the Hodge and de Rham cohomology of $B(G/Γ)$. As an application, building upon work of Toda and using Totaro's inequality, we show that for all $m\geq 0$ the Hodge and de Rham cohomology algebras of the classifying stacks $B\mathrm{PGL}_{4m+2}$ and $B\mathrm{PSO}_{4m+2}$ over $\mathbb{F}_2$ are isomorphic to the singular $\mathbb{F}_2$-cohomology of the classifying space of the corresponding Lie group. From this we obtain a full…
Let $M$ be any simply-connected Gorenstein space over any field. Félix and Thomas have extended to simply-connected Gorenstein spaces, the loop (co)products of Chas and Sullivan on the homology of the free loop space $H_*(LM)$. We describe these loop (co)products in terms of the torsion and extension functors by developing string topology in appropriate derived categories. As a consequence, we show that the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence converging to the loop homology of a Gorenstein space admits a multiplication and a comultiplication with shifted degree which are compatible with the loop…
We prove simplicial version of a classical theorem of Eilenberg in the equivariant context and give an alternative description of the simplicial version of Bredon-Illman cohomology with local coefficients, as introduced in [15], to derive a spectral sequence.
In this paper, we calculate $RO(C_2)$-graded cohomology of $C_2$-equivariant Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces $K(\underline{Z/2}, n+σ)$ for $n\geq 0$. These can be used to give the relation between equivariant lambda algebra and equivariant Adams resolution and equivariant unstable Adams spectral sequence, which are defined in author`s dissertation.
We compute ku^*(K(Z/p,2)) and ku_*(K(Z/p,2)), the connective KU-cohomology and connective KU-homology groups of the mod-p Eilenberg-MacLane space K(Z/p,2), using the Adams spectral sequence. We obtain a striking interaction between h_0-extensions and exotic extensions. The mod-p connective KU-cohomology groups, computed elsewhere, are needed in order to establish higher differentials and exotic extensions in the integral groups.
We give an algebraic proof for the result of Eilenberg and Mac Lane that the second cohomology group of a simplicial group G can be computed as a quotient of a fibre product involving the first two homotopy groups and the first Postnikov invariant of G. Our main tool is the theory of crossed module extensions of groups.
We are familiar with properties and structure of topological spaces. One of the powerful tools, which help us to figure out the structure of topological spaces is (Leray- Serre) spectral sequence. Although Eilenberg-Maclane space plays important roles in topology, and respectively geometry. Actually finding cohomology groups of this space can be useful for classifying spaces, and also homotopy groups structure of these groups. This paper discusses how to compute cohomology groups of Eilenberg-Maclane spaces $K(\mathbb{Z}, 4)$ and $K(\mathbb{Z}, 5)$ (cohomology degree less than $11$). Furthermo…
We deform the Ravenel-Wilson computation of the Morava K-homology of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces to obtain a similar description of their completed Morava E-homology. This yields both a cohomological description and an interpretation on the level of formal schemes: the scheme associated to the E-cohomology of the space K(Z/p^infty, q) is the qth exterior power of the p-divisible group associated to the versal infinitesimally deformed formal group over Lubin-Tate space.
In this paper, we calculate the $RO(G)$-graded coefficients of $H\underline{\mathbb{Z}}$, the Eilenberg-MacLane spectrum of constant Mackey functor for quaternion group $Q_8$.
This paper determines the RO(G)-graded Eilenberg-MacLane cohomology of the real, infinite, equivariant Grassmannians in the case G=Z/2. Possible connections with motivic characteristic classes for quadratic bundles are briefly discussed.
We generalize some of the fundamental results of algebraic topology from topological spaces to Čech's closure spaces, also known as pretopological spaces. Using simplicial sets and cubical sets with connections, we define three distinct singular (relative) simplicial and six distinct singular (relative) cubical (co)homology groups of closure spaces. Using acyclic models we show that the three simplicial groups have isomorphic cubical analogues among the six cubical groups. Thus, we obtain a total of six distinct singular (co)homology groups of closure spaces. Each of these is shown to have a c…
We study how the combinatorial structure of the Salvetti complexes of the braid arrangements are related to homotopy theoretic properties of iterated loop spaces. We prove the skeletal filtrations on the Salvetti complexes of the braid arrangements give rise to the cobar-type Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence converging to the homology of $Ω^2Σ^2 X$. We also construct a new spectral sequence that computes the homology of $Ω^{\ell}Σ^{\ell} X$ for $\ell>2$ by using a higher order analogue of the Salvetti complex. The $E^1$-term of the spectral sequence is described in terms of the homology of $X…
Let $Φ\to Γ\to Σ$ be a conormal extension of Hopf algebras over a commutative ring $k$, and let $M$ be a $Γ$-comodule. The Cartan-Eilenberg spectral sequence $$ E_2 = \mathrm{Ext}_Φ(k,\mathrm{Ext}_Σ(k,M)) \implies \mathrm{Ext}_Γ(k,M)$$ is a standard tool for computing the Hopf algebra cohomology of $Γ$ with coefficients in $M$ in terms of the cohomology of the pieces $Φ$ and $Σ$. Bruner and Rognes, generalizing a construction of Davis and Mahowald, have introduced a generalization of the Cartan-Eilenberg spectral sequence converging to $\mathrm{Ext}_Γ(k,M)$ that can be defined when $Φ= Γ\squar…
We compute the rational Borel-Moore homology groups for affine determinantal varieties in the spaces of general, symmetric, and skew-symmetric matrices, solving a problem suggested by the work of Pragacz and Ratajski. The main ingredient is the relation with Hartshorne's algebraic de Rham homology theory, and the calculation of the singular cohomology of matrix orbits, using the methods of Cartan and Borel. We also establish the degeneration of the Čech-de Rham spectral sequence for determinantal varieties, and compute explicitly the dimensions of de Rham cohomology groups of local cohomology …
We prove the Cartan-Eilenberg stable elements theorem and construct a Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre type spectral sequence for pro-fusion systems. As an application, we determine the continuous mod-$p$ cohomology ring of $\text{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ for any odd prime $p$.
We introduce the notion of a strongly homotopy-comultiplicative resolution of a module coalgebra over a chain Hopf algebra, which we apply to proving a comultiplicative enrichment of a well-known theorem of Moore concerning the homology of quotient spaces of group actions. The importance of our enriched version of Moore's theorem lies in its application to the construction of useful cochain algebra models for computing multiplicative structure in equivariant cohomology. In the special cases of homotopy orbits of circle actions on spaces and of group actions on simplicial sets, we obtain small,…
The $ER(2)$-cohomology of $B\mathbb{Z}/(2^q)$ and $\mathbb{C}P^n$ are computed along with the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence for $ER(2)^*(\mathbb{C}P^\infty)$. This, along with other papers in this series, gives us the $ER(2)$-cohomology of all Eilenberg-MacLane spaces. Since $ER(2)$ is $TMF_0(3)$ after a suitable completion, these computations also take care of that theory.
We construct some spectral sequences as tools for computing commutative cohomology of commutative Lie algebras in characteristic 2. In a first part, we focus on a Hochschild-Serre-type spectral sequence, while in a second part we obtain comparison spectral sequences which mediate between Chevalley-Eilenberg-, commutative-and Leibniz cohomology. These methods are illustrated by a few computations.
We show in this text how the most important homology equivalences of fundamental Algebraic Topology can be obtained as reductions associated to discrete vector fields. Mainly the homology equivalences whose existence -- most often non-constructive -- is proved by the main spectral sequences, the Serre and Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequences. On the contrary, the constructive existence is here systematically looked for and obtained.
In this paper we prove the Leibniz analogue of Whitehead's vanishing theorem for the Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of Lie algebras. As a consequence, we obtain the second Whitehead lemma for Leibniz algebras. Moreover, we compute the cohomology of several Leibniz algebras with adjoint or irreducible coefficients. Our main tool is a Leibniz analogue of the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence, which is an extension of (the dual of) a spectral sequence of Pirashvili for Leibniz homology from symmetric bimodules to arbitrary bimodules.
We consider brave new cochain extensions $F(BG_+,R)\to F(EG_+,R)$, where $R$ is either a Lubin-Tate spectrum $E_n$ or the related 2-periodic Morava K-theory $K_n$, and $G$ is a finite group. When $R$ is an Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum, in some good cases such an extension is a $G$-Galois extension in the sense of John Rognes, but not always faithful. We prove that for $E_n$ and $K_n$ these extensions are always faithful in the $K_n$ local category. However, for a cyclic $p$-group $C_{p^r}$, the cochain extension $F({BC_{p^r}}_+,E_n) \to F({EC_{p^r}}_+,E_n)$ is not a Galois extensions because it…
In this paper we identify conditions under which the cohomology $H^*(ΩMξ;\k)$ for the loop space $ΩMξ$ of the Thom space $Mξ$ of a spherical fibration $ξ\downarrow B$ can be a polynomial ring. We use the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence which has a particularly simple form when the Euler class $e(ξ)\in H^n(B;\k)$ vanishes, or equivalently when an orientation class for the Thom space has trivial square. As a consequence of our homological calculations we are able to show that the suspension spectrum $Σ^\inftyΩMξ$ has a local splitting replacing the James splitting of $ΣΩMξ$ when $Mξ$ is a susp…
In this article we construct what we call a higher spectral sequence for any chain complex (or topological space) that is filtered in $n$ compatible ways. For this we extend the previous spectral system construction of the author, and we show that it admits considerably more differentials than what was previously known. As a result, this endows the successive Leray--Serre, Grothendieck, chromatic--Adams--Novikov, and Eilenberg--Moore spectral sequences of the author with the structure of a higher spectral sequence. Another application is a universal coefficient theorem analog for spectral sequ…
We prove a strengthened version of a theorem of Lionel Schwartz that says that certain modules over the Steenrod algebra cannot be the mod 2 cohomology of a space. What is most interesting is our method, which replaces his iterated use of the Eilenberg--Moore spectral sequence by a single use of the spectral sequence converging to the mod 2 cohomology of Omega^nX obtained from the Goodwillie tower for the suspension spectrum of Omega^nX. Much of the paper develops basic properties of this spectral sequence.
A central extension of the form $E: 0 \to V \to G \to W \to 0$, where $V$ and $W$ are elementary abelian 2-groups, is called Bockstein closed if the components $q_i \in H^*(W, \FF_2)$ of the extension class of $E$ generate an ideal which is closed under the Bockstein operator. In this paper, we study the cohomology ring of $G$ when $E$ is a Bockstein closed 2-power exact extension. The mod-2 cohomology ring of $G$ has a simple form and it is easy to calculate. The main result of the paper is the calculation of the Bocksteins of the generators of the mod-2 cohomology ring using an Eilenberg-Moo…
This thesis consists of two main parts. In the second part, we recall how a description of local coefficients that Eilenberg introduced in the 1940s leads to spectral sequences for the computation of homology and cohomology with local coefficients. We then show how to construct new equivariant analogues of these spectral sequences for RO(G)-graded Bredon homology and cohomology. Finally, we use these spectral sequences to complete a sample calculation, in which we use the equivariant Serre spectral sequence and the equivariant cohomology of complex projective spaces to compute the cohomology o…
