$\mathfrak{S}$-coalgebras determine fundamental groups

Algebraic Topology 2013-08-13 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we extend earlier work by showing that if XX and YY are simplicial complexes (i.e. simplicial sets whose nondegenerate simplices are determined by their vertices), an isomorphism C(X)C(Y)\mathcal{C}(X)\cong\mathcal{C}(Y) of coalgebras over the Barratt-Eccles operad implies that the 3-skeleton of XX is weakly equivalent to the 3-skeleton of YY, also implying that π1(X)=π1(Y)\pi_{1}(X)=\pi_{1}(Y).
