We give a sufficient and necessary condition of the fundamental group homomorphism of a map between manifolds to induce homology equivalences. Moreover, a classification of one-sided h-cobordism of manifolds up to diffeomorphisms is…
In this monograph we lay the foundation for a theory of coarse groups and coarse actions. Coarse groups are group objects in the category of coarse spaces, and can be thought of as sets with operations that satisfy the group axioms "up to…
Known and new results on free Boolean topological groups are collected. An account of properties which these groups share with free or free Abelian topological groups and properties specific of free Boolean groups is given. Special emphasis…
In 2002, Biss investigated on a kind of fibration which is called rigid covering fibration (we rename it by rigid fibration) with properties similar to covering spaces. In this paper, we obtain a relation between arbitrary topological…
The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups $G$, and to describe their connections to classical representation…
We offer a counterexample to a theorem in the literature and then repair the theorem as follows: The fundamental group of a locally path connected metric space inherits the discrete topology in a natural way if and only if the underlying…
In this paper, using some properties of fundamental groups and covering spaces of connected polyhedra and CW-complexes, we present topological proof for some famous theorems about finitely presented groups.
This is the first of a series of papers devoted to lay the foundations of Algebraic Geometry in homotopical and higher categorical contexts (for part II, see math.AG/0404373). In this first part we investigate a notion of higher topos. For…
The intended model of the homotopy type theories used in Univalent Foundations is the infinity-category of homotopy types, also known as infinity-groupoids. The problem of higher structures is that of constructing the homotopy types needed…
We propose a homology theory for locally compact spaces with ends in which the ends play a special role. The approach is motivated by results for graphs with ends, where it has been highly successful. But it was unclear how the original…
In this paper a systematic study of the category GTS of generalized topological spaces (in the sense of H. Delfs and M. Knebusch) and their strictly continuous mappings begins. Some completeness and cocompleteness results are achieved.…
The results of a previous paper on the equivariant homotopy theory of crossed complexes are generalised from the case of a discrete group to general topological groups. The principal new ingredient necessary for this is an analysis of…
Let G be a group, and H a G-group defined by an imbedding map $G\rightarrow H$; in [12] we have defined a topology on a subset of normal subgroups of $H$, the so-called prime ideals. In this work, we generalize this topology to other…
Classes SSGP(n)(n < \omega) of topological groups are defined, and the class-theoretic inclusions SSGP(n) \subseteq SSGP(n+1) \subseteq m.a.p. are established and shown proper. These classes are investigated with respect to the properties…
In this paper, we construct a comparison map from the topological fundamental group to the pro-\'etale fundamental group for a complex variety.
This survey/expository article covers a variety of topics related to the "topology at infinity" of noncompact manifolds and complexes. In manifold topology and geometric group theory, the most important noncompact spaces are often…
Let $f:G\rightarrow H$ be a homomorphism of groups, we construct a topological space $X_f$ such that its group of homeomorphisms is isomorphic to $G$, its group of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences is isomorphic to $H$ and the…
Topos properties of the category of covering groupoids over a fixed groupoid are discussed. A classification result for connected covering groupoids over a fixed groupoid analogous to the fundamental theorem of Galois theory is given.
The topological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{top}$ is a topological invariant that assigns to each space a quasi-topological group and is discrete on spaces which are well behaved locally. For a totally path-disconnected, Hausdorff, unbased…
Let $X$ be a homogeneous space of a connected linear algebraic group $G$ defined over the field of complex numbers $\mathbb C$. Let $x\in X({\mathbb C})$ be a point. We denote by $H$ the stabilizer of $x$ in $G$. When $H$ is connected, we…
