We prove that $$ \cat X\le \frac{\cd(\pi_1(X))+\dim X}{2}$$ for every CW complex $X$ where $\cd(\pi_1(X))$ denotes the cohomological dimension of the fundamental group of $X$. We obtain this as a corollary of the inequality $$ \cat…

We compare two properties for a CW-space $X$ of finite type: (1) being homotopy equivalent to a CW-complex without $j$-cells for $k\leq j\leq \ell$ (($k,\ell$)-cellfree) and (2) $H^j(X;R)=0$ for any $\mathbb Z\pi_1(X)$-module $R$ when…

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff compact space and $C(X)$ be the algebra of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$, endowed with the supremum norm. We say that $C(X)$ is (approximately) $n$-th root closed if any function from $C(X)$ is…

We obtain the equivariant K-homology of the classifying space \underline{E}W for W a right-angled or, more generally, an even Coxeter group. The key result is a formula for the relative Bredon homology of \underline{E}W in terms of Coxeter…

Let $X$ be a complete symmetric variety i.e. the wonderful compactification of a symmetric $G-$homogeneous space (where $G$ is a simply-connected semi-simple linear algebraic group). If $L$ is a line bundle over $X$ and if $C$ is a…

Given a hypersurface $X\subset \mathbb{P}^{N+1}_{\mathbb{C}}$ Dimca gave a proof showing that the cohomologies of X are the same as the projective space in a range determined by the dimension of the singular locus of X. We prove the analog…

There are different definitions of homological dimension of metric compacta involving either \v{C}ech homology or exact (Steenrod) homology. In this paper we investigate the relation between these homological dimensions with respect to…

This paper studies the problems of embedding and isomorphism for countably generated Hilbert C*-modules over commutative C*-algebras. When the fibre dimensions differ sufficiently, relative to the dimension of the spectrum, we show that…

The dimension algebra of graded groups is introduced. With the help of known geometric results of extension theory that algebra induces all known results of the cohomological dimension theory. Elements of the algebra are equivalence classes…

It is shown that the Cuntz semigroup of a space with dimension at most two, and with second cohomology of its compact subsets equal to zero, is isomorphic to the ordered semigroup of lower semicontinuous functions on the space with values…

Let K and L be compact convex sets in R^n. The following two statements are shown to be equivalent: (i) For every polytope Q inside K having at most n+1 vertices, L contains a translate of Q. (ii) L contains a translate of K. Let 1 <= d <=…

We prove the following Theorem: Let X be a nonempty compact metrizable space, let $l_1 \leq l_2 \leq...$ be a sequence of natural numbers, and let $X_1 \subset X_2 \subset...$ be a sequence of nonempty closed subspaces of X such that for…

In extension theory, in particular in dimension theory, it is frequently useful to represent a given compact metrizable space X as the limit of an inverse sequence of compact polyhedra. We are going to show that, for the purposes of…

In accordance with the Bing-Borsuk conjecture, we show that if X is an n-dimensional homogeneous metric ANR compactum and x\in X, then there is a local basis at x consisting of connected open sets U such that the cohomological properties of…

One can iteratively obtain a free resolution of any monomial ideal $I$ by considering the mapping cone of the map of complexes associated to adding one generator at a time. Herzog and Takayama have shown that this procedure yields a minimal…

If $g$ is a map from a space $X$ into $\mathbb R^m$ and $q$ is an integer, let $B_{q,d,m}(g)$ be the set of all lines $\Pi^d\subset\mathbb R^m$ such that $|g^{-1}(\Pi^d)|\geq q$. Let also $\mathcal H(q,d,m,k)$ denote the maps $g\colon…

This paper exhibits a multiplicative and minimal cellular complex which allows explicit and complete (co)homological calculations for the symmetric products of a finite two dimensional CW complex. By considering cohomology, we observe that…

For an abelian topological group G let G^* denote the dual group of all continuous characters endowed with the compact open topology. Given a closed subset X of an infinite compact abelian group G such that w(X) < w(G) and an open…

We show that in a weak globular $\omega$-category, all composition operations are equivalent and commutative for cells with sufficiently degenerate boundary, which can be considered a higher-dimensional generalisation of the Eckmann-Hilton…

Given a finite, connected 2-complex $X$ such that $b_2(X)\le1$ we establish two existence results for representations of the fundamental group of $X$ into compact connected Lie groups $G$, with prescribed values on certain loops. If…
