Abstract For a simply connected space 𝐵 the Hirsch model of path fibration is constructed in terms of 𝐵. In particular this means the calculation of loop space cohomology. As an application, the Hirsch model of the fiber of any fibration over 𝐵 is given.

In this note, we use the pairing induced by the interchange map in conjunction with the strongly homotopy commutative algebra structure to define products on the Eilenberg–Moore differential Tor and give a simplified proof of an improved outcome of Jones’s result due to Ndombol and Thomas. As a result, we establish an isomorphism of graded algebras between the Hochschild homology and the free loop space cohomology of a simply connected topological space.

Let G be a simply connected, semi-simple, compact Lie group, let K* denote Z/2-graded, representable K-theory, and K* the corresponding homology theory. The K-theory of G and of its classifying space BG are well known, (8),(1). In contrast with ordinary cohomology, K*(G) and K*(BG) are torsion-free and have simple multiplicative structures. If ΩG denotes the space of loops on G, it seems natural to conjecture that K*(ΩG) should have, in some sense, a more simple structure than H*(ΩG).

Abstract We consider QCD in R3 x S1 and show that non-trivial global space-time topology breaks chiral symmetry.

AbstractWe answer the following question posed by Lechuga: given a simply connected spaceXwith bothH*(X; ℚ) and π*(X) ⊗ ℚ being finite dimensional, what is the computational complexity of an algorithm computing the cup length and the rational Lusternik—Schnirelmann category ofX?Basically, by a reduction from the decision problem of whether a given graph isk-colourable fork≥ 3, we show that even stricter versions of the problems above are NP-hard.

SynopsisWe give here an abelian kernel (central) group extension sequence for calculating, for a non-simply-connected space X, the group of pointed self-homotopy-equivalence classes . This group extension sequence gives in terms of , where Xn is the nth stage of a Postnikov decomposition, and, in particular, determines up to extension for non-simplyconnected spaces X having at most two non-trivial homotopy groups in dimensions 1 and n. We give a simple geometric proof that the sequence splits in the case where is the generalised Eilenberg–McLane space corresponding to the action ϕ: π1 → aut πn, and give some information about the class of the extension in the general case.
