Bredon cohomological dimensions for proper actions and Mackey functors

Abstract

For groups with a uniform bound on the length of chains of finite subgroups, we study the relationship between the Bredon cohomological dimension for proper actions and the notions of cohomological dimension one obtains by restricting the coefficients of Bredon cohomology to (cohomological) Mackey functors or fixed point functors. We also investigate the closure properties of the class of groups with finite Bredon cohomological dimension for Mackey functors.

The zeroth stable homotopy groups of motivic spheres over the integers

The main result determines the zeroth integral Milnor-Witt stem of the motivic sphere spectrum in the Morel-Voevodsky motivic stable homotopy category of the integers. The component in weight zero is the Grothendieck-Witt ring of nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms over the integers. Along the way, cellularity of connective Witt theory, as well as an absolute purity result for the η-inverted motivic sphere spectrum, is established over Dedekind domains of mixed characteristic.

Realization of permutation modules as homology of CW-complexes

In this paper, we investigate the realizability problem, which asks whether prescribed group actions on graded modules can be realized by the groups of self-homotopy equivalences of CW-complexes acting on their homology. We provide a partial answer in the case of arbitrary groups and permutation modules concentrated in certain degrees. As a consequence, we realize every group as the group of self-homotopy equivalences of an $R$-local CW-complex with arbitrary prescribed connectivity, where $R$ may be chosen with $ρ(R)$ sufficiently large. In particular, this provides a complete answer to Kahn's realizability problem.

Braidings of Self-Equivalences and Bordism

Let $M$ be a closed, smooth or topological $n$-manifold, with $n \geq 4$. We construct a homotopy highly cartesian square relating the space ${\mathcal E}(M (\ell))$ of homotopy self-equivalences of $M$ (in a suitable range) over the Postnikov $\ell$-sections of its stable normal microbundle, and an $(\infty + n)$-fold loop space representing an associated (normal) bordism theory. This implies the existence of braids of interlocking exact sequences involving the homotopy groups of ${\mathcal E}(M(\ell))$ and certain Lashof bordism groups, leading to a conceptual explanation and broad generalization of earlier work of Hambleton--Kreck for closed, oriented $4$-manifolds.
