The homotopy category of complexes of projective left-modules over any reasonably nice ring is proved to be a compactly generated triangulated category, and a duality is given between its subcategory of compact objects and the finite…

We address the homotopy theory of 2-crossed modules of commutative algebras, which are equivalent to simplicial commutative algebras with Moore complex of length two. In particular, we construct for maps of 2-crossed modules a homotopy…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian commutative ring of dimension $n$, $A=R[X_1,\cdots,X_m]$ be a polynomial ring over $R$ and $P$ be a projective $A[T]$-module of rank $n$. Assume that $P/TP$ and $P_f$ both contain a unimodular element for some monic…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension $d$ and $M$ a commutative cancellative torsion-free seminormal monoid. Then (1) Let $A$ be a ring of type $R[d,m,n]$ and $P$ be a projective $A[M]$-module of rank $r \geq max\{2,d+1\}$.…

Fix a prime $p$ and a chromatic height $h$. We prove that the homotopy $(k,1)$-category of $L_h$-local spectra $\mathrm{h}_k\big(\mathrm{Sp}_{p,h}\big)$ is algebraic as a symmetric monoidal category when $p > O(h^2+kh)$. To achieve this, we…

It is proved that for a commutative noetherian ring with dualizing complex the homotopy category of projective modules is equivalent, as a triangulated category, to the homotopy category of injective modules. Restricted to compact objects,…

We investigate {\it Gottlieb map}s, which are maps $f:E\to B$ that induce the maps between the Gottlieb groups $\pi_n (f)|_{G_n(E)}:G_n(E)\to G_n(B)$ for all $n$, from a rational homotopy theory point of view.We will define the obstruction…

Smooth structures on high dimensional manifolds are classified by maps to the infinite loop space $TOP/O$. The homotopy groups of this space are known to be finite. Given a compact Lie group $G$, this space can be regarded as an equivariant…

We prove that all SYM theories that have a quantum modified moduli space $\m$ defined by a single constraint equation have trivial homotopy groups $\pi_j(\m)$ for $j=0,1,2,3$ and 4. This implies that none of these theories admit skyrmions…

For a commutative Noetherian local ring we define and study the class of modules having reducible complexity, a class containing all modules of finite complete intersection dimension. Various properties of this class of modules are given,…

We consider the homotopy types of $PD_4$-complexes $X$ with fundamental group $\pi$ such that $c.d.\pi=2$ and $\pi$ has one end. Let $\beta=\beta_2(\pi;F_2)$ and $w=w_1(X)$. Our main result is that (modulo two technical conditions on…

Let F be a finitely generated discrete group. Given a covering map H to G of Lie groups with G either compact or complex reductive, there is an induced covering map Hom(F, H) to Hom(F, G). We show that when the fundamental group of G is…

Let $R$ be a ring with identity and $\C(R)$ denote the category of complexes of $R$-modules. In this paper we study the homotopy categories arising from projective (resp. injective) complexes as well as Gorenstein projective (resp.…

For a left coherent ring A with every left ideal having a countable set of generators, we show that the coderived category of left A-modules is compactly generated by the bounded derived category of finitely presented left A-modules…

A cohomological support, Supp_A(M), is defined for finitely generated modules M over an left noetherian ring R, with respect to a ring A of central cohomology operations on the derived category of R-modules. It is proved that if the…

Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of characteristic $p>0$, such that $\dim(A)=d$. Let $P$ be a projective $A[T_1,...,T_n]$-module of rank $d$. We show that $P$ is cancellative if and only if $P/<T_1,...,T_n>P$ is cancellative. We…

An important example of a model category is the category of unbounded chain complexes of R-modules, which has as its homotopy category the derived category of the ring R. This example shows that traditional homological algebra is…
