h-topology

Section 3 of Voevodsky's thesis is probably the earliest reference. Contains some very interesting motivation. Example which seems to show necessity of considering nonsubcanonical topologies, as well as discussion of blowups as coverings. Also mention of qfh-topology, and a long list of examples clarifying the properties of the h-topology. THen loads and loads of more interesting material, for example a comparison thm with etale cohomology, Thm 3.32: If F is a loc constant sheaf in the etale topology, then F is also an h-sheaf, and etale and h-cohomology agree.

See also Voevodsky: Homology of schemes I, which appears to be an improved version of his thesis.

Scholbach article.

On the h-topology (from Déglise's Oberwolfach talk I think): $f: W \to S$ is an h-cover if it is a topological epimorphism and remains so after any pullback (i.e. a universal topological epi). E.g. a faithfully flat map, or a proper surjective map.

Hasse principle

arXiv:0910.2803 Hasse principles for higher-dimensional fields from arXiv Front: math.AG by Uwe Jannsen For schemes X over global or local fields, or over their rings of integers, K. Kato stated several conjectures on certain complexes of Gersten-Bloch-Ogus type, generalizing the fundamental exact sequence of Brauer groups for a global field. He proved these conjectures for low dimensions. We prove Kato's conjecture (with infinite coefficients) over number fields. In particular this gives a Hasse principle for function fields F over a number field K, involving the corresponding function fields over all completions of K. We get a conditional result over global fields K of positive characteristic, assuming resolution of singularities. This is unconditional for X of dimension at most 3, due to recent results on resolution. There are also applications to other cases considered by Kato.

Height pairing

arXiv:1001.1621 The Hilbert-Polya strategy and height pairings from arXiv Front: math.AG by C. Deninger Previously we gave a conjectural cohomological argument for the validity of the Riemann hypotheses for Hasse-Weil zeta functions. In the present note we sketch how the same cohomological formalism would imply the conjectured positivity properties of the height pairings of homologically trivial cycles.

http://mathoverflow.net/questions/61620/beilinsons-height-pairing-vs-neron-tate

Bloch: Height pairings for algebraic cycles (1983). Memo notes from MR:

Let be a -dimensional smooth projective variety over a number field. Let be the -VS of homologically trivial algebraic cycles of codim on mod rational equivalence. Under certain mild assumptions, can construct height pairings

Theses generalize the Neron pairing (Neron 1965) between divisors and zero-cycles. The discriminant of the Neron pairing shows up as a regulator in the BSD conjecture. Bloch shows that the above pairing plays a similar role for the L-function associated to at . For some evidence, see Bloch: Algebraic cycles and values of L-functions. Beilinson (Higher regulators and values of L-functions of curves; English translation exists!) has independently constructed a height pairing and regulators, conjecturally related to special values.

The pairing above is defined as a sum of local factors over the primes of the number field. The general method uses certain homotopy-theoretic methods and properties of the spaces of Quillen. At the finite primes one uses the usual theory of Chern classes in etale cohomology. At the Archimedean primes, one needs a theory of Chern classes in Deligne cohomology, as constructed by Gillet.

arXiv:1103.0570 Néron's pairing and relative algebraic equivalence from arXiv Front: math.NT by Cédric Pépin Let R be a complete discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field k and fraction field K. Let XK be a projective smooth and geometrically connected scheme over K. Néron defined a canonical pairing on XK between 0-cycles of degree zero and divisors which are algebraically equivalent to zero. When XK is an abelian variety, and if one restricts to those 0-cycles supported by K-rational points, Néron gave an expression of his pairing involving intersection multiplicities on the Néron model A of AK over R. When XK is a curve, Gross and Hriljac gave independantly an analogous description of Néron's pairing, but for arbitrary 0-cycles of degree zero, by means of intersection theory on a proper flat regular R-model X of XK. In this article, we show that these intersection computations are valid for an arbitrary scheme XK as above and arbitrary 0-cyles of degree zero, by using a proper flat normal and semi-factorial model X of XK over R. When XK=AK is an abelian variety, and X is a semi-factorial compactification of its Néron model A, these computations can be used to study the algebraic equivalence on X. We then obtain an interpretation of Grothentieck's duality for the Néron model A, in terms of the Picard functor of X over R.

arXiv:1001.4788 Positivity of heights of codimension 2 cycles over function field of characteristic 0 from arXiv Front: math.AG by Shou-Wu Zhang In this note, we show how the classical Hodge index theorem implies the Hodge index conjecture of Beilinson for height pairing of homologically trivial codimension two cycles over function field of characteristic 0. Such an index conjecture has been used in our paper on Gross-Schoen cycles to deduce the Bogomolov conjecture and a lower bound for Hodge class (or Faltings height) from some conjectures about metrized graphs which have just been recently proved by Zubeyir Cinkir.

Abstract: There is a pairing on the Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic curve over a number field with values in the class group of the field. It sits somewhere between the monodromy pairing and the Neron-Tate height pairing. I would like to discuss how this pairing shows up in questions on Galois module structures, how one can compute it effectively and how it links to p-descent.

arXiv:1003.0777 A generalisation of Zhang's local Gross-Zagier formula from arXiv Front: math.NT by Kathrin Maurischat On the background of Zhang's local Gross-Zagier formulae for GL(2), we study some p-adic problems. The local Gross-Zagier formulae give identities of very special local geometric data (local linking numbers) with certain local Fourier coefficients of a Rankin L-function. The local linking numbers are local coefficients of a geometric (height) pairing. The Fourier coefficients are products of the local Whittaker functions of two automorphic representations of GL(2). We establish a matching of the space of local linking numbers with the space of all those Whittaker products. Further, we construct a universally defined operator on the local linking numbers which reflects the behavior of the analytic Hecke operator. Its suitability is shown by recovering from it an equivalent of the local Gross-Zagier formulae. Our methods are throughout constructive and computational.

Heights

arXiv:1207.5948 An Arakelov-Theoretic Approach to Naïve Heights on Hyperelliptic Jacobians fra arXiv Front: math.NT av David Holmes We give an Arakelov-theoretic definition of a naïve height on divisors of degree zero on a hyperelliptic curve over a number field, and show that this naïve height has computably bounded difference from the Néron-Tate height of the corresponding point on the Jacobian, a key ingredient being a theorem of Faltings and Hriljac comparing the Néron-Tate height on the Jacobian to the arithmetic intersection pairing on the curve. We then use this result to give a new algorithm to compute the finite set of points on a hyperelliptic Jacobian of Néron-Tate height less than a given bound. This has applications to the problem of saturation, to the computation of integral points on hyperelliptic curves, to the use of Manin's algorithm, and for numerically testing cases of the Conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer.

In Soulé MR1144338 there is an overview of results from Arakelov theory and a comparison of the Faltings and Philippon height, the latter based on the Chow form. Late 80s.

We also give as an application an explicit upper bound on the number of K-rational points of a curve of genus g>1 over a number filed K under a conjecture of S. Lang and J. Silverman. We complete the study with a comparison between differential lattice structures.

arXiv:1001.2517 Heights and measures on analytic spaces. A survey of recent results, and some remarks from arXiv Front: math.NT by Antoine Chambert-Loir This paper has two goals. The first is to present the construction, due to the author, of measures on non-archimedean analytic varieties associated to metrized line bundles and some of its applications. We take this opportunity to add remarks, examples and mention related results.

arXiv:1004.4503 Computing Néron-Tate heights of points on hyperelliptic Jacobians from arXiv Front: math.NT by David Holmes It was shown by Faltings and Hriljac that the Néron-Tate height of a point on the Jacobian of a curve can be expressed as the self-intersection of a corresponding divisor on a regular model of the curve. We make this explicit and use it to give an algorithm for computing Néron-Tate heights on Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves. To demonstrate the practicality of our algorithm, we illustrate it by computing Néron-Tate heights on Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves of genus from 1 to 9.

Hilbert modular forms

http://mathoverflow.net/questions/55275/hilbert-modular-forms

arXiv:1102.1864 Notes on the arithmetic of Hilbert modular forms from arXiv Front: math.NT by A. Raghuram, Naomi Tanabe The purpose of this semi-expository article is to give another proof of a classical theorem of Shimura on the critical values of the standard L-function attached to a Hilbert modular form. Our proof is along the lines of previous work of Harder and Hida (independently). What is different is an organizational principle based on the period relations proved by Raghuram and Shahidi for periods attached to regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations. The point of view taken in this article is that one need only prove an algebraicity theorem for the most interesting L-value, namely, the central critical value of the L-function of a sufficiently general type of a cuspidal automorphic representation. The period relations mentioned above then gives us a result for all critical values. To transcribe such a result into a more classical context we also discuss the arithmetic properties of the dictionary between holomorphic Hilbert modular forms and automorphic representations of GL(2) over a totally real number field F.

Brief memo notes from Deligne: Hodge II

Classical Hodge theory: The n-th singular cohomology group with coefficients in of a compact Kahler variety carries a Hodge structure of weight . We show here that the cohomology of a non-singular algebraic variety (not necessarily compact) carries a more general structure: here is a "successive extension" of Hodge structures of decreasing weights (in the interval to ), for which the Hodge numbers vanish for or .

The proof uses Hironaka's resolution of singularities, which allows us to "express, via a spectral sequence, the cohomology of a quasi-projective nonsingular variety in terms of the cohomology of projective nonsingular varieties".

Interaction between several filtrations. Bigraded object "looking like a pure Hodge structure" induces a pair of finite n-opposite filtrations, and this construction is an equivalence of cats. Notion of three filtrations being opposite, meaning that two of them induce -opposite filtrations on of the third. Basic theorem (1.2.10) on the (abelian!) category of objects with three opposite filtrations, in an abelian category.

If is filtered, these objects can be computed via a spectral sequence (the hypercohomology spectral sequence of the filtered complex ). For example, can take the canonical or stupid filtration on any complex. Example: Leray spectral sequence for the sheaf cohomology groups and a map of topological spaces.

Section 2: Hodge structures 2.1. Def: A real Hodge structure is a finite-dimensional real vector space equipped with an action of the real algebraic group . Here is the group obtained from the multiplicative group by restriction of scalars from to . (So the real points of is ). Such an action is equivalent to giving a bigrading of on which complex conjugation interchanges the grading indices.

Let be as above. Def of weight grading on , a grading defined over the reals. Def of Hodge filtration on by . The category of real Hodge structures is equivalent to the category of finite-dimensional real vector spaces with a filtration on which is -opposite to its complex conjugate.

Def: A Hodge structure of weight consists of an abelian group of finite type together with a real Hodge structure of weight on . Def of morphism. The Hodge structures of weight form an abelian category. Taking tensor products of two Hodge structures of weights and gives a Hodge structure of weight . Also, have a Hodge structure of weight (internal Hom), exterior powers, and duals. Details on all this. Def of weight -Hodge structure, for any noetherian subring of the reals (replace by above).

Def: A polarisation of a Hodge structure of weight is a homomorphism such that the real bilinear form on is symmetric and positive definite. Here is the element of determined by a choice of .

Def of and of polarisation of real Hodge structures.

2.2. Hodge theory. Let be a compact Kahler variety. Poincaré lemma, implying de Rham description of the complex cohomology. Hence the hypercohomology spectral sequence . By Hodge theory, this degenerates () and the Hodge filtration on is -opposite to its complex conjugate. Generalisation of this to coefficients in a local system. Can also generalise the Poincaré lemma and the hypercohomology spectral sequence (and the Hodge structure???) to the case where is complete nonsingular algebraic variety, not necessarily Kahler (use Chow's lemma and RoS, reducing to projective case).

Several constructions of what I think is the first Chern class of an invertible sheaf. Using this, a "trace map", and PD, we construct a map and a polarisation of the primitive part . This implies that the rational Hodge structures are polarisable.

2.3 Mixed structures. Def: A mixed Hodge structure consists of: A abelian group of finite type, an increasing "weight filtration" of , and a (decreasing) "Hodge filtration" of . One requires that the triple is a system of opposite filtrations.

We see that each becomes a Hodge structure of weight .

Note: Every Hodge structure of weight defines a mixed Hodge structure in a trivial way.

Memo notes from Hodge III

Introduction: In Hodge II, we treated Hodge theory of nonsingular (not necessarily complete) varieties. Here we will treat the singular case.

In the case of a complete singular variety , the key idea is to use resolution of singularities to "replace" by a simplicial smooth projective scheme, having, in a certain sense, the same cohomology. Hence we can express the cohomology of through a spectral sequence, in terms of the cohomology of the individual components of the simplicial scheme. Using classical Hodge theory for the components, we get a mixed Hodge structure on the cohomology of .

For an arbitrary variety , we replace by a smooth simplicial scheme, compactified by a smooth projective simplicial scheme. The complement will be a normal crossings divisor and a union of smooth divisors. Get a mixed Hodge structure again.

Review of cohomological descent. Various results about vanishing of Hodge numbers. A form of Alexander duality.

We endow the cohomology of any simplicial scheme with a mixed Hodge structure. This can be applied to relative cohomology, and to cohomology of classifying spaces of algebraic groups.

The theory developed is an absolute theory (not treating ) and only considers constant coefficients.

Convention: Schemes are of finite type over the complex numbers, and sheaves are in the complex topology.

Section 5: Cohomological descent

5.1 Simplicial topological spaces

Extremely clean summary of basic simplicial language. Def of sheaf on a simplicial topological space. The category of such sheaves form a topos, i.e. the category is equivalent to a category of sheaves on some site.

Many nontrivial definitions and details on simplicial topological spaces. Def of global sections functor (nonobvious).

5.2 Cohomology of simplicial topological spaces

Def of geometric realization of a simplicial topological space. Segal defined the cohomology of a simplicial topological space as the cohomology of the realization. Such a definition also works for K-groups. Here we adopt another definition, more suitable for sheaf techniques, namely: cohomology is given by the derived functors of the global sections functor. Here the coefficients are an abelian sheaf on the simplicial topological space. Reformulation in terms of resolutions. We have a spectral sequence .

Formulation in terms of derived categories, generalising the above spectral sequence.

5.3 Cohomological descent

Let be an augmented simplicial topological space. For every sheaf on , we have an adjunction morphism . Deriving this gives a morphism of endofunctors of .

Def: We say that has cohomological descent if for every abelian sheaf on , we have

and

for all .

I think this definition is equivalent to saying that is an isomorphism.

If has cohomological descent, and is an object of , the canonical map

is an isomorphism. In particular, we have a spectral sequence

(this is hypercohomology).

Def: A continuous map has cohomological descent if the augmentation morphism of :

has cohomological descent. We say that has universal cohomological descent (UCD) if, for every , the continuous map has cohomological descent.

Fundamental results, from SGA4:

• The continuous maps which have UCD form a Grothendieck topology on the category of topological spaces.
• A surjective proper morphism has UCD
• A map admitting sections locally on has UCD
• Def of k-truncated hypercovering
• Def of what it means for a map of -augmented simplicial topological spaces to be a hypercovering for the UCD topology.
• For such a hypercovering , and any , the map is an isomorphism.

Example: The above recovers the Leray spectral sequence for a covering.

Def: Proper hypercovering.

6.2. Constructing hypercoverings

Details omitted for now. Come back to this later.

Def: Smooth simplicial scheme, proper simplicial scheme, divisor with normal crossings on a simplicial scheme.

Lemma: For any normal crossings divisor on a simplicial scheme, the logarithmic de Rham complexes, equipped with the weight filtration, form a filtered complex on the simplicial scheme.

We show that for every separated scheme over , there exists (i) a smooth proper simplicial -scheme, which can be taken to be s-split, (ii) a normal crossings divisor in ; let , (iii) an augmentation such that is a proper hypercovering of .

6.3. Relative cohomology

Def: Let be a morphism of simplicial objects in a category admitting finite sums and a final object . Define the mapping cone of by

For , we take the category of topological spaces, or the category of pairs consisting of a topological space and an abelian sheaf on the space. A morphism in the latter category is a continuous map together with a -morphism .

Let be a morphism of simplicial topological spaces, let be an abelian sheaf on and the same on . Let be a -morphism. Then the cone of is an abelian sheaf on , and we define groups

called relative cohomology groups. There is a long exact sequence:

More generally, can do this for hypercohomology and complexes of sheaves (bounded below). The long exact sequence corresponds to a distinguished triangle in the derived category.

Remark: The above construction is not the only possible one.

6.4. Multisimplicial spaces

Let be a non-negative integer. An -simplicial object in a category is a functor . Precomposing with the functor gives the associated (diagonal) simplicial object.

arXiv:1204.6661 Normal crossing singularities and Hodge theory over Artin rings from arXiv Front: math.AG by Christian Lehn We develop a Hodge theory for relative simple normal crossing varieties over an Artinian base scheme. We introduce the notion of a mixed Hodge structure over an Artin ring, which axiomatizes the structure that is found on the cohomology of such a variety. As an application we prove that the maps between the graded pieces of the Hodge bundles have constant rank.

Homotopical descent

arXiv:1108.4627 The Cosmic Galois group as Koszul dual to Waldhausen's A(pt) from arXiv Front: math.AT by Jack Morava K. Hess's theory of homotopical descent, applied to the large categories of motives defined recently by Blumberg, Gepner, and Tabuada, suggests that the Koszul dual of Waldhausen's K-theory of the sphere spectrum, regarded as a supplemented algebra via the Dennis trace, plays a very general role as a kind of motivic group.

After tensoring with the rationals, the resulting Hopf algebra has close relations to the ring of quasi-symmetric functions and work of Baker and Richter on one hand, and on the other to work of Deligne and others on the motivic group for mixed Tate motives.

Homotopy cartesian

In a model category, a commutative square "X,Y,W,Z" is homotopy cartesian if for every factorization of the left map into a trivial cofibration followed by a fibration, the induced map is a weak equivalence. Here is the thing in the middle of the factorization.

In fact, to show that a diagram is homotopy cartesian, it suffices to find one factorization such that the relevant map is a WE.

A homotopy fibre sequence is homotopy cartesian diagram of simplicial sets, such that the lower map is the inclusion of the base point. Example: Every fibration sequence.

See Jardine-Goerss for more details, section II.9 (p 128). This section also discusses categories of cofibrant/fibrant objects.

Jardine-Goerss chapter IV discusses "detection principles" for homotopy cartesian diagrams.

<]]>
Homotopy category

Construction

The homotopy category of a model category is obtained by "inverting the WEs". One of the points of the model category axioms is that the Hom sets in the homotopy category actually are sets. The homotopy category is universal for functors from sending WEs to isomorphisms.

The Hom set between two objects in the homotopy category is isomorphic to .

Given a model category , the subcategory of cofibrant (fibrant, cofibrant and fibrant) objects has an equivalent homotopy category, the equivalence being induced by the inclusion functor.

For the details, the following notes are useful:

Consider maps from to in a model category. If is cofibrant and is fibrant, then the left homotopy and the right homotopy relations coincide, and are equivalence relations on the Hom set.

Let be the category of fibrant and cofibrant objects in . The homotopy relation on is an equivalence relation and is compatible with composition. Hence the localisation of exists.

A map in is a WE iff it is a homotopy equivalence.

Here is a reformulation of some of the above:

Theorem: (Hovey page 13...)

Properties

The homotopy category of a model category has all small products and coproducts.

Sometimes, the term "the homotopy category" refers to the homotopy category of topological spaces (or simplicial sets). See nLab and also the talk of Maltsiniotis in Paris Jan 2009

Homotopy coherence

http://www.ncatlab.org/nlab/show/homotopy+coherent+diagram

http://mathoverflow.net/questions/81721/a-homotopy-commutative-diagram-that-cannot-be-strictified

From Goerss-Jardine intro to chapter VIII: "The Dwyer-Kan theorem immediately leads to realization theorems for ho- motopy coherent diagrams in cases where the simplicial categories A model ho- motopy coherence phenomena. A realization of a homotopy coherent diagram is a functor which is weakly equivalent to X in a strong sense. Insofar as the information arising from X typically consists of simplicial set maps X(α) : X(i) → X(j), one for each morphism α of I which only respect the composition laws of I up to some system of higher homotopies, a realization Y is a replacement of X, up to weak equivalence, by a collection of maps Y (α) : Y (i) → Y (j) which define a functor on the nose. Diagrams of spaces which are not quite functorial are really very common: the machines which produce the algebraic K-theory spaces, for example, are not functors (on scheme categories in particular), but they have homotopy coherent output for categorical reasons [49]. Approaches to homotopy coherence for simplicial set diagrams arising from some specific resolution constructions are discussed in Section 3; traditional ho- motopy coherence (in the sense of [90]) is one of the examples. But more generally, we take the point of view that a homotopy coherent dia- gram on a fixed index category I is a simplicial functor X : A → S defined on any simplicial resolution A of I. We can further ask for realization results concerning homotopy coherent diagrams A → M taking values in more general simplicial model categories M. This is the subject of Section 4. We derive, in particular, realization theorems for homotopy coherent diagrams taking values in pointed simplicial sets, spectra and simplicial abelian groups (aka. chain complexes)."

Homotopy colimit

Much work by Thomason. Notes from Weibel's obituary: Thomason constructed, for a diagram of small categories, a canonical cofibered category such that it's geometric realization is the homotopy colimit of the geometric realization of the diagram. Remark: An infinite loop space machine sends homotopy colimits in SymMonCat to the corresponding hocolims of spectra.

arXiv:1104.0646 Realizable homotopy colimits from arXiv Front: math.AG by Beatriz Rodriguez-Gonzalez In this paper we study realizable homotopy colimits, which we define as homotopically well-behaved cofibrant approximations of colimits. Homotopical well-behavior includes cofinality, Fubini and homotopy invariance, as well as existence of pointwise homotopy left Kan extensions. We characterize such realizable homotopy colimits on (D,E) as those hocolim obtained as the composition of the simplicial replacement with a simple functor endowing (D, E) with a simplicial descent structure (arXiv:0808.3684). As an example, we deduce that (finite) homotopy limits exist for mixed Hodge complexes, and are realized through Deligne's cosimplicial construction.

arXiv:1109.0265 Homotopy Colimits of Algebras Over Cat-Operads and Iterated Loop Spaces from arXiv Front: math.AT by Zbigniew Fiedorowicz, Manfred Stelzer, Rainer M. Vogt We extend Thomason's homotopy colimit construction in the category of permutative categories to categories of algebras over an arbitrary $\Cat$ operad and analyze its properties. We then use this homotopy colimit to prove that the classifying space functor induces an equivalence between the category of $n$-fold monoidal categories and the category of $\mathcal{C}n$-spaces after formally inverting certain classes of weak equivalences, where $\mathcal{C}n$ is the little $n$-cubes operad. As a consequence we obtain an equivalence of the categories of $n$-fold monoidal categories and the category of $n$-fold loop spaces and loop maps after localization with respect to some other class of weak equivalences. We recover Thomason's corresponding result about infinite loop spaces and obtain related results about braided monoidal categories and 2-fold loop spaces.

Jardine-Goerss talks early in chapter IV about the homotopy colimit of a functor into simplicial sets; this hocolim is a bisimplicial set. For bisimplicial abelian groups this hocolim appears naturally "in any homology spectral sequence arising from the hocolim of a diagram of simplicial sets".

Homotopy groups

We can define the homotopy groups of a fibrant simplicial set, following Hovey chapter 3.4.

Let be 0-simplices in a fibrant simplicial set . Say that is homotopic to if there is a one-simplex such that and . This is an equivalence relation, and the set of equivalence classes is denoted . This set is isomorphic to of the geometric realization. This construction is a functor from fibrant simplicial sets to sets.

Goerss and Schemmerhorn: One of the lessons of the last thirty years is that in order to compute homotopy classes of maps, the best strategy can be to compute the homotopy type of the mapping space, and then read off the components (p. 27). Related: The hammock localization of a category with WEs.

arXiv:0910.2817 Derived functors of non-additive functors and homotopy theory from arXiv Front: math.AT by Lawrence Breen, Roman Mikhailov We develop a functorial approach to the study of the homotopy groups of spheres and Moore spaces $M(A,n)$, based on the Curtis spectral sequence and the decomposition of Lie functors as iterates of simpler functors such as the symmetric or exterior algebra functors. The discussion takes place over the integers, and includes a functorial description of the derived functors of certain Lie algebra functors, as well as of all the main cubical functors (such as the degree 3 component $SP^3$ of the symmetric algebra functor). As an illustration of this method, we retrieve in a purely algebraic manner the 3-torsion component of the homotopy groups of the 2-sphere up to degree 14, and give a unified presentation of homotopy groups $\pi_i(M(A,n))$ for small values of both $n$ and $i$.

arXiv:1009.1125 The Goodwillie tower and the EHP sequence from arXiv Front: math.AT by Mark Behrens We study the interaction between the EHP sequence and the Goodwillie tower of the identity evaluated at spheres at the prime 2. Both give rise to spectral sequences (the EHP spectral sequence and the Goodwillie spectral sequence, respectively) which compute the unstable homotopy groups of spheres. We relate the Goodwillie filtration to the P map, and the Goodwillie differentials to the H map. Furthermore, we study an iterated Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence approach to the homotopy of the layers of the Goodwillie tower of the identity on spheres. We show that differentials in these spectral sequences give rise to differentials in the EHP spectral sequence. We use our theory to re-compute the 2-primary unstable stems through the Toda range (up to the 19-stem). We also study the homological behavior of the interaction between the EHP sequence and the Goodwillie tower of the identity. This homological analysis involves the introduction of Dyer-Lashof-like operations associated to M. Ching's operad structure on the derivatives of the identity. These operations act on the mod 2 stable homology of the Goodwillie layers of any functor from spaces to spaces.

[arXiv:1108.3055] A combinatorial description of homotopy groups of spheres from arXiv Front: math.AT by Roman Mikhailov, Jie Wu We give a combinatorial description of general homotopy groups of $k$-dimensional spheres with $k\geq3$ as well as those of Moore spaces.

For $n>k\geq 3,$ we construct a finitely generated group defined by explicit generators and relations, whose center is exactly $\pi_n(S^k)$.

Homotopy invariance

In algebraic geometry, this can mean either that a functor sends to an isomorphism, or the same statement for (affine m-space over ).

The latter statement holds for etale cohomology with torsion coeffs prime to the characteristic.

Grayson (K-th handbook p 47) mentions that there is a standard way of converting a functor into a homotopy invariant functor. Check his references to Gersten and Karoubi-Villamayor. Very briefly following Grayson: for a contravariant functor from a category of varieties containg the affine spaces to the category of spaces, we consider the functor . The map is, in a certain up-to-homotopy sense, the universal map from to a homotopy invariant functor.

Very brief notes from LNM0304

Bousfield and Kan: Homotopy limits, localization and completion

Want: Functorial notion of R-completion of a space X s.t.

• For , get under finiteness assumptions and up to homotopy, the p-profinite completion of Quillen and Sullivan
• For a subring of the rationals, get, up to htpy, the loclizations of Sullivan, Quillen and others.

Can define R-completion for arbitrary spaces. Need separate results on towers of fibs, cosimplicial spaces, and homotopy limits.

Usefulness: Can fracture homotopy theory into mod-p components, and construct new spaces

More on all this.

• Up to homotopy, R-completion preserves fibrations whenever the fundamental gp of the base acts nilpotently on the R-homology of the fibre
• Many spaces are R-good, i.e. the canonical map from X to its R-completion preserves R-homology, and is, up to homotopy, terminal among such maps
• The mod/R spectral sequence relates the R-homology of a spaces with the homotopy groups of its R-completion.
• more on Malcev completion

Now a summary of the book: See LNM304 pp4 for full version. Some highlights: A map induces iso on reduced R-homology iff it induces a homotopy equivalence between the R-completions.

Chapter 1

The R-completion is defined by first constructing a cosimplicial diagram of spaces RX, then associating with this a tower of fibrations

The command "\\" may only appear inside a "\begin ... \end" block
\\{ R_s X \\}
and finally taking the inverse limit of this tower. The R-completion comes with a natural map from X. Can think of this as the \"Artin-Mazur like completion\" in two different ways. The tower of fibs give us a spectral sequence, useful. Recover the homotopy spectral sequence with coeffs in R, as well as the unstable Adams spectral sequence, and the primitive elements in the rational cobar spectral sequence.

Up to homotopy, the R-completion commutes with disjoint unions and finite products, and preserves multiplicative structures.

It might be the case that the homotopy groups of the R-completion are the reduced homology groups of the space, with coeffs in R. This gives an alternative view on the Hurewicz homomorphism.

Note: The R-completion of a space is fibrant because surjections are sent to fibrations.

arXiv:1006.2316 A model structure for coloured operads in symmetric spectra from arXiv Front: math.CT by Javier J. Gutiérrez, Rainer M. Vogt We describe a model structure for coloured operads with values in the category of symmetric spectra (with the positive model structure), in which fibrations and weak equivalences are defined at the level of the underlying collections. This allows us to treat R-module spectra (where R is a cofibrant ring spectrum) as algebras over a cofibrant spectrum-valued operad with R as its first term. Using this model structure, we give suficient conditions for homotopical localizations in the category of symmetric spectra to preserve module structures.

arXiv:1002.0879 Coherence for Categorified Operadic Theories from arXiv Front: math.CT by M. R. Gould Given an algebraic theory which can be described by a (possibly symmetric) operad $P$, we propose a definition of the \emph{weakening} (or \emph{categorification}) of the theory, in which equations that hold strictly for $P$-algebras hold only up to coherent isomorphism. This generalizes the theories of monoidal categories and symmetric monoidal categories, and several related notions defined in the literature. Using this definition, we generalize the result that every monoidal category is monoidally equivalent to a strict monoidal category, and show that the "strictification" functor has an interesting universal property, being left adjoint to the forgetful functor from the category of strict $P$-categories to the category of weak $P$-categories. We further show that the categorification obtained is independent of our choice of presentation for $P$, and extend some of our results to many-sorted theories, using multicategories.

arXiv:1101.1634 Homotopy theory of non-symmetric operads from arXiv Front: math.CT by Fernando Muro We endow categories of non-symmetric operads with natural model structures. We work with no restriction on our operads and only assume the usual hypotheses for model categories with a symmetric monoidal structure. We also study categories of algebras over these operads in enriched non-symmetric monoidal model categories.

arXiv:1104.0584 Transfer of algebras over operads along derived Quillen adjunctions from arXiv Front: math.AT by Javier J. Gutiérrez Let V be a cofibrantly generated monoidal model category and let M be a monoidal V-model category. Given a cofibrant C-coloured operad P in V, we give sufficient conditions for the fibrant replacement and cofibrant replacement functors in M^C to preserve P-algebra structures. In particular, we show how P-algebra structures can be transferred along derived Quillen adjunctions of monoidal V-model categories, and we apply this result to the Quillen adjunctions defined by enriched Bousfield localizations and colocalizations on M. As an application, we prove that in the category of symmetric spectra the n-connective cover functor preserves A{\infty} and E{\infty} module spectra over connective ring spectra, for every integer n.

arXiv:1109.1004 Dendroidal sets and simplicial operads from arXiv Front: math.CT by Denis-Charles Cisinski, Ieke Moerdijk We establish a Quillen equivalence relating the homotopy theory of Segal operads and the homotopy theory of simplicial operads, from which we deduce that the homotopy coherent nerve functor is a right Quillen equivalence from the model category of simplicial operads to the model category structure for infinity-operads on the category of dendroidal sets. By slicing over the monoidal unit, this also gives the Quillen equivalence between Segal categories and simplicial categories proved by J. Bergner, as well as the Quillen equivalence between quasi-categories and simplicial categories proved by A. Joyal and J. Lurie. We also explain how this theory applies to the usual notion of operad (i.e. with a single colour) in the category of spaces.

arXiv:1209.1087 The homotopy theory of simplicial props from arXiv Front: math.AT by Philip Hackney, Marcy Robertson The category of (colored) props is an enhancement of the category of colored operads, and thus of the category of small categories. In this paper, the second in a series on "higher props," we show that the category of all small colored simplicial props admits a cofibrantly generated model category structure. With this model structure, the forgetful functor from props to operads is a right Quillen functor.

Homotopy type

Essay topic Grojnowski

This essay is an introduction to homological and homotopical algebra. The first aim is to understand differential graded commutative algebras, which appear everywhere in characteristic zero geometry, topology, and algebra. For example, given a manifold, one can consider the algebra of differential forms on it; the main theorem of ”rational homotopy theory” is the statement that this tells you everything about the homotopy type of the manifold if you neglect torsion. The second, more ambitious goal is to understand torsion. The language of dga’s is inadequate, and the correct (homotopy invariant) notion is of ”algebras for the E1-operad”. Begin with two computations (both of which will require you learning a lot!) (1) Compute the rational homotopy of spheres, (2) Compute the homology of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces. Then understand how the deRham functor gives an equivalence of categories between topological spaces localised at Q and connected cdga’s; that is learn the rational homotopy theory of Quillen and Sullivan. This encodes the computation of (1); you can find it in various textbooks and papers. If any time remains you can aim to understand Mandell’s theorem, which is the characteristic p analogue. This requires a lot more background on homotopical algebra; a basic computational input is (2) above. References Many textbook expositions exist, now. The original papers are: [1] D. Quillen, Rational homotopy theory. Ann. of Math. 90, 1969, 205–295. [2] D. Sullivan, Infinitesimal computations in topology. Inst. Hautes Etudes Sci. Publ. Math. No. 47, (1977), 269–331. [3] M.

1-types are the same as 's (Eilenberg-MacLane spaces), so can be viewed as groups. More precisely, is an equiv of cats from 1-types to groups. Similarly for 2-types and (the homotopy cat of) crossed modules, and for 3-types and quadratic modules.

Simply connected homotopy types and -duality: Have homotopy decompositions, using fiber sequences and Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, which constructs a homotopy type as a inverse limit. Dually, homology decomposition, using Moore spaces, cofiber sequences, and a direct limit. The homotopy decomposition can also be obtained via the Postnikov functors. Dwyer, Kan and Smith constructed a space which parameterizes all homotopy decompositions associated to a graded abelian group . Its path components corresponds to the set of homotopy types associated to this graded group. The n-th homotopy group is an equiv of cats from the relevant cat of E-M spaces to abelian groups, and there is a functor in the other direction (iterated classifying space). is not an eq of cats on Moore spaces, but is a detecting functor. Classes of maps between E-M spaces are by def cohomology operations; these are computable in some sense. Classes of maps between Moore spaces include homotopy groups of spheres as special examples. Def: Homotopy and cohomology groups with coeffs in a group . k-invariants = Postnikov invariants, defined as certain elements in . Also dual notion of boundary invariant. Def of pseudo-homology, using Moore spaces, dual to singular chain def of cohomology.

The Hurewicz homomorphism, coming from applying to the map from to the infinite symmetric product of (whose homotopy is the homology of by Dold-Thom). Relation to homotopy types. Related notion of -groups (with coefficients), fitting the Hurewicz homomorphisms into a long exact sequence.

Use of Postnikov and boundary invariants to classify homotopy types.

Infinite symmetric product, Dold-Thom iso.

Stable homotopy types. Properties of suspension. Algebraic models.

Some explicit examples and applications, for example allowing us to compute generalized (co)homology of 4-dimensional polyhedra in terms of the values on a small number of "prime factors".

Briefly (go back to Geisser later): Start with a presheaf of spectra on some site of a scheme . Then the hypercohomology spectrum of is a homotopy limit of a certain simplicial spectrum. It has an associated spectral sequence.

Hypercovering

Lurie has a discussion about hypercoverings vs coverings, and sheaves, in Higher topos theory.

Artin-Mazur LNM0100 defines hypercovering on page 96. Def: A hypercovering of a pointed site C is a pointed simplicial objects with values in the site, such that two conditions are satisfied. A hypercovering of an object X is a hypercovering of the site C/X. Example: Take C to be the site of sets, then a hypercovering is a simplicial set which is nonempty, Kan, and contractible. Some intuition explained, and some lemmas. Cor 8.15 spectral sequence ass to a hypercovering and an abelian sheaf.

Pal said a hypercovering is a simplicial object in the cat of coverings, which is Kan contractible, i.e. trivially fibrant.
