We consider the topologically nontrivial phase states and the corresponding topological defects in the SU(3) d-dimensional quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The homotopy groups for topological classes of such defects are calculated explicitly.…

For $n\geq 2$ we consider $(n-1)$-connected closed manifolds of dimension at most $(3n-2)$. We prove that away from a finite set of primes, the $p$-local homotopy groups of $M$ are determined by the dimension of the space of indecomposable…

If a finite group $G$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $SO(3)$, then $G$ has the D2-property. Let $X$ be a finite complex satisfying Wall's D2-conditions. If $\pi_1(X)=G$ is finite, and $\chi(X) \geq 1-Def(G)$, then $X \vee S^2$ is simple…

In this paper, we examine the homotopy classes of positive loops in Sp(2) and Sp(4). We show that two positive loops are homotopic if and only if they are homotopic through positive loops.

In the 2-local stable homotopy category the group of left-bu-module automorphisms of bu\wedge bo which induce the identity on mod 2 homology is isomorphic to the group of infinite upper triangular matrices with entries in the 2-adic…

We show that if $P$ is a $PD_3$-complex and $g\in\pi_1(P)$ has finite order $>1$ and infinite centraliser then $\pi_1(P)$ retracts onto $Z/2Z\oplus\mathbb{Z}$. If $P$ is an irreducible closed 3-manifold then it follows from the Projective…

We compute the homotopy groups of the spaces of self maps of Lie groups of rank 2, SU(3), Sp(2), and G_2. We use the cell structures of these Lie groups and the standard methods of homotopy theory.

Computations based on explicit 4-periodic resolutions are given for the cohomology of the finite groups G known to act freely on S^3, as well as the cohomology rings of the associated 3-manifolds (spherical space forms) M = S^3/G. Chain…

We give a rather general construction of double categories and so, under further conditions, double groupoids, from a structure we call a `double module'. We also give a homotopical construction of a double groupoid from a triad consisting…

In this paper, we determine the 3-cell skeleton of $F$, where $F$ is the homotopy fiber of the canonical pinch map from a suspension of a simply-connected 2-cell complex onto a sphere. The main result is stated $p$-locally: for $p=2$, and…

We classify exact indecomposable module categories over the representation category of all non-trivial Hopf algebras with coradical S_3 and S_4. As a byproduct, we compute all its Hopf-Galois extensions and we show that these Hopf algebras…

We compute the topological simple structure set of closed manifolds which occur as total spaces of flat bundles over lens spaces S^l/(Z/p) with fiber an n-dimensjional torus T^n for an odd prime p and l greater or equal to 3, provided that…

There are only 10 Euclidean forms, that is flat closed three dimensional manifolds: six are orientable and four are non-orientable. The aim of this paper is to describe all types of $n$-fold coverings over orientable Euclidean manifolds…

If $G$ has $4$-periodic cohomology, then D2 complexes over $G$ are determined up to polarised homotopy by their Euler characteristic if and only if $G$ has at most two one-dimensional quaternionic representations. We use this to solve…

We construct pairs of non-isometric hyperbolic 3-orbifolds with the same topological type and volume. Topologically these orbifolds are mapping tori of pseudo-Anosov maps of the surface of genus 2, with singular locus a fibred (hyperbolic)…

We generalize results of Hattori on the topology of complements of hyperplane arrangements, from the class of generic arrangements, to the much broader class of hypersolvable arrangements. We show that the higher homotopy groups of the…

In this paper, we calculate the $n+3$, $n+4$ dimensional homotopy groups of indecomposable $\mathbf{A}_n^2$-complexes after localization at 2. This job is seen as a sequel to P.J. Hilton's work on the $n+1,n+2$ dimensional homotopy groups…

We show that if a complex has free finitely generated reduced homology groups for two consecutive dimensions and trivial homology for all other dimensions, then it must have the homotopy type of a wedge of spheres of two consecutive…

We study the homotopy types of complements of arrangements of n transverse planes in R^4, obtaining a complete classification for n <= 6, and lower bounds for the number of homotopy types in general. Furthermore, we show that the homotopy…

We determine the v1-periodic homotopy groups of all irreducible p-compact groups (BX,X). In the most difficult, modular, cases, we follow a direct path from their associated invariant polynomials to these homotopy groups. We show that, if p…
