Gottlieb groups of spheres

Abstract

This paper takes up the systematic study of the Gottlieb groups $G_{n+k}(§^n)$ of spheres for $k\le 13$ by means of the classical homotopy theory methods. The groups $G_{n+k}(§^n)$ for $k\le 7$ and $k=10,12,13$ are fully determined. Partial results on $G_{n+k}(§^n)$ for $k=8,9,11$ are presented as well. We also show that $[ι_n,η^2_nσ_{n+2}]=0$ if $n=2^i-7$ for $i\ge 4$.

Weights of circle actions on oriented manifolds with isolated fixed points

For an action of the circle group $S^1$ on a compact oriented manifold with isolated fixed points, there is a claim that weights at the fixed points occur in pairs. This phenomenon holds for other types of $S^1$-manifolds, e.g., (almost) complex, symplectic, and unitary manifolds. A known proof of this claim assumes that the isotropy submanifolds are orientable. However, this assumption does not hold in general. In this note, we prove the claim without relying on that assumption.

On higher scissors congruence

We solve the higher version of Hilbert's Third Problem for one-dimensional geometries, and in higher dimensions we reduce the problem to a computation in group homology. Our central result concerns the scissors congruence $K$-theory spectrum of Zakharevich, whose homotopy groups are the correct higher version of the classical scissors congruence groups. We prove that this spectrum is a Thom spectrum, whose base space is the homotopy orbit space of a Tits complex. The relevant computations quickly follow from this more foundational result.

Cohomology of non-finite CL-shellable posets

Shellable complexes are homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres of possibly different dimensions, so that the (co)homology of the constant functor over the complex is concentrated in those degrees. In this work, we introduce the concept of a stable functor -a local weakening of fibrancy- over a shellable poset, which ensures the vanishing of the (co)homology of such a functor in specific degrees. The methods are based on a model category structure on the category of functors indexed by a filtered poset and the combinatorial structure of shellable posets. Our techniques work over non-finite and non-pure posets and employ a description of (co)homology via explicit fibrant replacements. Applications include acyclicity criteria for Mackey functors, computation of cohomology of $j$-th exterior powers over arrangement lattices, and homological decompositions for Bianchi groups $Γ_d$ for $d=1,2$.
