This work integrates the Kenzo system within Sagemath as an interface and an optional package. Our work makes it possible to communicate both computer algebra programs and it enhances the SageMath system with new capabilities in algebraic topology, such as the computation of homotopy groups and some kind of spectral sequences, dealing in particular with simplicial objects of an infinite nature. The new interface allows computing homotopy groups that were not known before.

This chapter discusses some results about homotopy groups and CW complexes. Throughout this book, one needs to assume a certain amount of algebraic topology. A CW complex is a topological space built up from a discrete set of points by successively attaching cells one dimension at a time. The name CW complex refers to the two properties satisfied by a CW complex: closure-finiteness and weak topology. With continuous maps as morphisms, the CW complexes form a category. It turns out that this is the most appropriate category in which to do homotopy theory. The chapter also looks at fiber bundles.

In his book “Homotopy Theory and Duality,” Peter Hilton described the concepts of relative homotopy theory in module theory. We study in this paper the possibility of parallel concepts of fibration and cofibration in module theory, analogous to the existing theorems in algebraic topology. First, we discover that one can study relative homotopy groups, of modules, from a viewpoint which is closer to that of (absolute) homotopy groups. Then, through the study of various cases, we learn that the classic fibration/cofibration relation does not come automatically. Nonetheless, the ability to see the relative homotopy groups as absolute homotopy groups, in a stronger sense, promises to justify our ultimate search.

Write $\mathbb A$ for the 2-primary Steenrod algebra, which is the algebra of stable natural endomorphisms of the mod 2 cohomology functor on topological spaces. Working at the prime 2, computing the cohomology of $\mathbb A$ is an important problem of Algebraic topology, because it is the initial page of the Adams spectral sequence converging to stable homotopy groups of the spheres. A relatively efficient tool to describe this cohomology is the Singer algebraic transfer of rank $n$ in \cite{Singer}, which passes from a certain subquotient of a divided power algebra to the cohomology of $\mathbb A.$ Singer predicted that this transfer is a monomorphism, but this remains open for $n\geq 4.$ This short note is to verify the conjecture in the ranks 4 and 5 and some generic degrees.

AbstractThe chromatic spectral sequence was introduced by Miller, Ravenel, and Wilson to compute the E2-term of the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence for computing the stable homotopy groups of spheres. The E1-term of the spectral sequence is an Ext group of BP*BP-comodules. There is a sequence of Ext groups for nonnegative integers n with and there are Bockstein spectral sequences computing a module (n – s) from So far, a small number of the E1-terms are determined. Here, we determine the for p > 2 and n > 3 by computing the Bockstein spectral sequence with E1-term for s = 1, 2. As an application, we study the nontriviality of the action of α1 and β1 in the homotopy groups of the second Smith-Toda spectrum V(2).
