It is well known that the cup-product pairing on the complementary integral cohomology groups (modulo torsion) of a compact oriented manifold is unimodular. We prove a similar result for the $\ell$-adic cohomology groups of smooth algebraic…

In this paper, we prove that certain spherical fibrations over certain CW-complexes are stably fibre homotopy equivalent to $\mm{TOP}$-spherical fibrations (see Definition 1,1). Applying this result, we get a sufficient condition for…

Consider a proper geodesic metric space $(X,d)$ equipped with a Borel measure $\mu.$ We establish a family of uniform Poincar\'e inequalities on $(X,d,\mu)$ if it satisfies a local Poincar\'e inequality ($P_{loc}$) and a condition on growth…

Given a relation $R \subseteq I \times J$ between two sets, Dowker's Theorem (1952) states that the homology groups of two associated simplicial complexes, now known as Dowker complexes, are isomorphic. In its modern form, the full result…

In this work we review a systematic, algorithmic construction of dual heterotic/F-theory geometries corresponding to 4-dimensional, N = 1 supersymmetric compactifications. We look in detail at a class of well-defined Calabi-Yau fourfolds…

We reformulate the inequalities among self-closeness numbers of spaces in cofibrations making use of homology dimension and show that the self-closeness number of a space is less than or equal to the homology dimension of the space. Then we…

We construct aspherical closed orientable 5-manifolds with perfect fundamental group. This completes part of our study (with D.H.Kochloukova and I.Lima) of $PD_n$-groups with pro-$p$ completion a pro-$p$ Poincar\'e duality group of…

We develop a method for constructing standard complexes which turns easy the calculation of their algebraic invariants and, as well, the precise evaluation of whether these complexes are embeddable or not in a 3-manifold. This method…

We show that basic homotopical notions such as homotopy sets and groups, connected and truncated maps, cellular constructions and skeleta, etc., extend to the setting of $(\infty,\infty)$-categories, as well as to presentable categories…

In [22], Crane and Sheppard considered the structure of the Poincare group as a 2-Group, and derived important information about its representations in a 2-Category suited for representations of non-compact 2-groups, following a lead of…

We exhibit a new presentation of the (equilateral) Von Dyck groups $D(2,3,n), \ n\ge 3$, in terms of two generators of order $n$ satisfying three relations, one of which is Artin's braid relation. By dropping the relation which fixes the…

We provide spectral Lie algebras with enveloping algebras over the operad of little $G$-framed $n$-dimensional disks for any choice of dimension $n$ and structure group $G$, and we describe these objects in two complementary ways. The first…

Using a homotopy introduced by de Wilde and Lecomte and homological perturbation theory for $A_\infty$-algebras, we give an explicit proof that the universal enveloping algebra $UL$ of a differential graded Lie algebra $L$ is Koszul, via an…

We study discrete group actions on coarse Poincare duality spaces, e.g. acyclic simplicial complexes which admit free cocompact group actions by Poincare duality groups. When G is an (n-1) dimensional duality group and X is a coarse…

A closed 4-manifold (or, more generally, a finite $PD_4$-space) has a finitely dominated infinite regular covering space if and only if either its universal covering space is finitely dominated or it is finitely covered by the mapping torus…

To an inclusion topological groups H->G, we associate a naive G-spectrum. The special case when H=G gives the dualizing spectrum D_G introduced by the author in the first paper of this series. The main application will be to give a purely…

The well-known theory of Pontryagin duality provides a strong connection between the homology and cohomology theories of a profinite group in appropriate categories. A construction for taking the `profinite direct sum' of an infinite family…

Two rings A and B are said to be derived Morita equivalent if their derived categories of modules are equivalent. By results of Rickard, if A and B are derived Morita equivalent algebras over a field k, then there is a complex of bimodules…

We consider a complex of tori of length 2 defined over a number field k. We establish here some local and global duality theorems for the (\'etale or Galois) hypercohomology of such a complex. We prove the existence of a Poitou-Tate exact…

Let $G$ be a linear Lie group acting properly and isometrically on a $G$-spin$^c$ manifold $M$ with compact quotient. We show that Poincar\'e duality holds between $G$-equivariant $K$-theory of $M$, defined using finite-dimensional…
