The well-known factorization theorems for covering dimension dim and compact Hausdorff spaces are here established for the cohomological dimension dim using a new characterization of dim In particular, it is proved that every mapping f: X → Y from a compact Hausdorff space X with
to a compact metric space Y admits a factorization f = hg, where g: X → Z, h: Z → Y and Z is a metric compactum with
. These results are applied to the well-known open problem whether
. It is shown that the problem has a positive answer for compact Hausdorff spaces X if and only if it has a positive answer for metric compacta X. 相似文献
We devote to the calculation of Batalin–Vilkovisky algebra structures on the Hochschild cohomology of skew Calabi–Yau generalized Weyl algebras. We first establish a Van den Bergh duality at the level of complex. Then based on the results of Solotar et al., we apply Kowalzig and Krähmer's method to the Hochschild homology of generalized Weyl algebras, and translate the homological information into cohomological one by virtue of the Van den Bergh duality, obtaining the desired Batalin–Vilkovisky algebra structures. Finally, we apply our results to quantum weighted projective lines and Podleś quantum spheres, and the Batalin–Vilkovisky algebra structures for them are described completely. 相似文献
We review several known categorification procedures, and introduce a functorial categorification of group extensions (Section 4.1) with applications to non-Abelian group cohomology (Section 4.2). The obstruction to the existence of group extensions (Section 4.2.4, Equation (9)) is interpreted as a coboundary condition (Proposition 4.5). 相似文献
Let be an ideal of a Noetherian local ring and a finitely generated -module. The f-depth of on is the least integer such that the local cohomology module is not Artinian. This paper presents some part of the theory of f-depth including characterizations of f-depth and a relation between f-depth and f-modules.
The -th local cohomology module of a finitely generated graded module over a standard positively graded commutative Noetherian ring , with respect to the irrelevant ideal , is itself graded; all its graded components are finitely generated modules over , the component of of degree . It is known that the -th component of this local cohomology module is zero for all > 0$">. This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behaviour of as .
The smallest for which such study is interesting is the finiteness dimension of relative to , defined as the least integer for which is not finitely generated. Brodmann and Hellus have shown that is constant for all (that is, in their terminology, is asymptotically stable for ). The first main aim of this paper is to identify the ultimate constant value (under the mild assumption that is a homomorphic image of a regular ring): our answer is precisely the set of contractions to of certain relevant primes of whose existence is confirmed by Grothendieck's Finiteness Theorem for local cohomology.
Brodmann and Hellus raised various questions about such asymptotic behaviour when f$">. They noted that Singh's study of a particular example (in which ) shows that need not be asymptotically stable for . The second main aim of this paper is to determine, for Singh's example, quite precisely for every integer , and, thereby, answer one of the questions raised by Brodmann and Hellus.
We prove two conjectures on pro- groups made by Herfort, Ribes and Zalesskii. The first says that a finitely generated pro- group which has an open free pro- subgroup of index is a free pro- product , where the are free pro- of finite rank and the are cyclic of order . The second says that if is a free pro- group of finite rank and is a finite -group of automorphisms of , then is a free factor of . The proofs use cohomology, and in particular a ``Brown theorem' for profinite groups.
On a compact orientable Riemannian manifold, the Hodge Laplacian has compact resolvent, therefore a spectral gap, and the dimension of the space of harmonic -forms is a topological invariant. By contrast, on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds, is known to have various pathologies, among them the absence of a spectral gap and either ``too large' or ``too small' a space . In this article we use a heat kernel measure to determine the space of square-integrable forms and to construct the appropriate Laplacian . We recover in the noncompact case certain results of Hodge's theory of in the compact case. If the Ricci curvature of a noncompact connected Riemannian manifold is bounded below, then this ``heat kernel weighted Laplacian' acts on functions on in precisely the manner we would wish, that is, it has a spectral gap and a one-dimensional kernel. We prove that the kernel of on -forms is zero-dimensional on , as we expect from topology, if the Ricci curvature is nonnegative. On Euclidean space, there is a complete Hodge theory for . Weighted Laplacians also have a duality analogous to Poincaré duality on noncompact manifolds. Finally, we show that heat kernel-like measures give desirable spectral properties (compact resolvent) in certain general cases. In particular, we use measures with Gaussian decay to justify the statement that every topologically tame manifold has a strong Hodge decomposition.
We give a general method for computing the cyclic cohomology of crossed products by étale groupoids, extending the Feigin–Tsygan–Nistor spectral sequences. In particular we extend the computations performed by Brylinski, Burghelea, Connes, Feigin, Karoubi, Nistor, and Tsygan for the convolution algebra C

(G) of an étale groupoid, removing the Hausdorffness condition and including the computation of hyperbolic components. Examples like group actions on manifolds and foliations are considered. 相似文献
In this paper we study the nature of the singularity of the Kontsevichs solution of the WDVV equations of associativity. We prove that it corresponds to a singularity in the change of two coordinates systems of the Frobenius manifold given by the quantum cohomology of CP2.
