  • Cohomology Theory of Lie Groups and Lie Algebras
    COHOMOLOGY THEORY OF LIE GROUPS AND LIE ALGEBRAS BY CLAUDE CHEVALLEY AND SAMUEL EILENBERG Introduction The present paper lays no claim to deep originality. Its main purpose is to give a systematic treatment of the methods by which topological questions concerning compact Lie groups may be reduced to algebraic questions con- cerning Lie algebras^). This reduction proceeds in three steps: (1) replacing questions on homology groups by questions on differential forms. This is accomplished by de Rham's theorems(2) (which, incidentally, seem to have been conjectured by Cartan for this very purpose); (2) replacing the con- sideration of arbitrary differential forms by that of invariant differential forms: this is accomplished by using invariant integration on the group manifold; (3) replacing the consideration of invariant differential forms by that of alternating multilinear forms on the Lie algebra of the group. We study here the question not only of the topological nature of the whole group, but also of the manifolds on which the group operates. Chapter I is concerned essentially with step 2 of the list above (step 1 depending here, as in the case of the whole group, on de Rham's theorems). Besides consider- ing invariant forms, we also introduce "equivariant" forms, defined in terms of a suitable linear representation of the group; Theorem 2.2 states that, when this representation does not contain the trivial representation, equi- variant forms are of no use for topology; however, it states this negative result in the form of a positive property of equivariant forms which is of interest by itself, since it is the key to Levi's theorem (cf.

  • Algebraic Topology - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 5
    Algebraic topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 5 Algebraic topology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Algebraic topology is a branch of mathematics which uses tools from abstract algebra to study topological spaces. The basic goal is to find algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homeomorphism, though usually most classify up to homotopy equivalence. Although algebraic topology primarily uses algebra to study topological problems, using topology to solve algebraic problems is sometimes also possible. Algebraic topology, for example, allows for a convenient proof that any subgroup of a free group is again a free group. Contents 1 The method of algebraic invariants 2 Setting in category theory 3 Results on homology 4 Applications of algebraic topology 5 Notable algebraic topologists 6 Important theorems in algebraic topology 7 See also 8 Notes 9 References 10 Further reading The method of algebraic invariants An older name for the subject was combinatorial topology , implying an emphasis on how a space X was constructed from simpler ones (the modern standard tool for such construction is the CW-complex ). The basic method now applied in algebraic topology is to investigate spaces via algebraic invariants by mapping them, for example, to groups which have a great deal of manageable structure in a way that respects the relation of homeomorphism (or more general homotopy) of spaces. This allows one to recast statements about topological spaces into statements about groups, which are often easier to prove. Two major ways in which this can be done are through fundamental groups, or more generally homotopy theory, and through homology and cohomology groups.

  • Fundamental Theorems in Mathematics
    SOME FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS IN MATHEMATICS OLIVER KNILL Abstract. An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 243 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [6] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but ordered along a time-line when things were writ- ten down. Since [556] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context" we try sometimes to give some context. Of course, any such list of theorems is a matter of personal preferences, taste and limitations. The num- ber of theorems is arbitrary, the initial obvious goal was 42 but that number got eventually surpassed as it is hard to stop, once started. As a compensation, there are 42 “tweetable" theorems with included proofs. More comments on the choice of the theorems is included in an epilogue. For literature on general mathematics, see [193, 189, 29, 235, 254, 619, 412, 138], for history [217, 625, 376, 73, 46, 208, 379, 365, 690, 113, 618, 79, 259, 341], for popular, beautiful or elegant things [12, 529, 201, 182, 17, 672, 673, 44, 204, 190, 245, 446, 616, 303, 201, 2, 127, 146, 128, 502, 261, 172].

  • Successive Spectral Sequences
    Successive Spectral Sequences Benjamin Matschke Forschungsinstitut f¨urMathematik, ETH Z¨urich [email protected] August 14, 2013 Abstract If a chain complex is filtered over a poset I, then for every chain in I we obtain a spectral sequence. In this paper we define a spectral system that contains all these spectral sequences and relates their pages via differentials, extensions, and natural isomorphisms. We also study an analog of exact couples that provides a more general construction method for these spectral systems. This turns out to be a good framework for unifying several spectral sequences that one would usually apply one after another. Examples are successive Leray{ Serre spectral sequences, the Adams{Novikov spectral sequence following the chromatic spectral sequence, successive Grothendieck spectral sequences, and suc- cessive Eilenberg{Moore spectral sequences. 1 Introduction Motivation. When one applies spectral sequences successively it fairly often happens that there are several ways to do this. In this paper we unify these ways in one spectral system (short for system of spectral sequences). As an example, consider the following tower of two fibrations, i F FE / E (1) pEN i M MN / N pNB B: Our aim is to compute H∗(E) from H∗(F ), H∗(M), and H∗(B). We could apply a Leray{Serre spectral sequence to compute H∗(N) from H∗(M) and H∗(B) as an intermediate step, and then apply another Leray{Serre spectral sequence to derive 1 −1 H∗(E) from H∗(F ) and H∗(N). Alternatively we might define P := pEN (iMN (M)) = −1 (pNB ◦ pEN ) (pt) and get another sequence of fibrations, i i F FP / P PE / E (2) pPM pEB M B: Here we can apply two different but related Leray{Serre spectral sequences with inter- mediate step H∗(P ).

He was born in Poland in 1913 and learned mathematics in the very active school of topology in Poland, where he studied with K. Borsuk and with C. Kuratowski; there he wrote an important paper on the topology of the plane and, with Borsuk, studied the homology of special spaces such as the solenoids (to appear also below). Because of the looming political troubles, he left Poland and came to the United States, arriving in Princeton on April 23, 1939. In the mathematics department at Princeton, Oswald Veblen and Soloman Lefschetz welcomed many mathematical refugees from Europe and found them suitable positions in the United States. This e;ective work made a major contribution to the development of American mathematics. In the case of Sammy, his work in topology was well known so they found for hima junior position at the University of Michigan, where Raymond Wilder, Norman Steenrod and others encouraged research in topology. There Sammy prospered. At this period, the uses of algebra in topology were expanding. In 1930, Emmy Noether had emphasized the idea that homology was not just about Betti numbers, but about abelian groups (homology); the Betti numbers were just invariants of those homology groups.
