Multiplicativity of the Euler characteristic for fibrations

Here is an argument that the Euler characteristic is multiplicative for fibrations $$ F\to E \to B $$ where $F$ and $B$ are finitely dominated and $B$ is connected. Without loss in generality, we may …

Multiplicativity of the Euler characteristic for fibrations

Note Added March 1, 2022: I now think there is a gap in deducing multiplicativity of the Euler characteristic from the Pedersen-Taylor result on the finiteness obstruction. I think the argument I giv …

Filtered homotopy colimits and singular homology

Suppose I have a functor $$ X_\bullet: I \to \text{Spaces} $$ where $I$ is a small filtered category. It seems to be a "folk theorem" that the homomorphism $$ \underset{\alpha\in I}{\text{colim }} H_ …

Weak homotopy type of the Cech Nerve

Let ${\cal U} = \{U_i\}_{i\in J}$ be an open cover of a topological space $X$, where the indexing set $J$ is assumed to be well-ordered. Then the Cech nerve is the "simplicial space without degeneraci …

Multiplicativity of the Euler characteristic for fibrations

For a Serre fibration $$ F\to E \to B , $$ with $F,E,B$ having the homotopy type of finite complexes, it is known that the Euler characteristic is multiplicative: $$ \chi(E) = \chi(F)\chi(B) . $$ Howe …

Iterated quotients in GIT

Suppose that $G$ is a reductive group that acts algebraically on an affine variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Suppose also that $G$ is equipped with a normal abelian subgroup $N$ such …

What is the homotopy fiber of a fold map?

The easiest way I think to get what you want is to use Omar Antolín-Camarena's approach. I just want to point out that the result is actually a very special case of something that is much more general …

Is the J homomorphism compatible with the EHP sequence?

In my comment to my first answer, I noted that I didn't address Greg's question (1). This answer aims to address that question. I am indebted to Bill Richter for explaining the following argument to …

Postnikov-type tower for a map between spaces

Here is an answer to your "Part I." The construction you outlined (and its dual) was considered in detail in the papers of Ganea. In particular: Ganea, T. Induced fibrations and cofibrations. Trans …

Is the J homomorphism compatible with the EHP sequence?

Added 9/7/16: I just got access to the paper: James, I. M. On the iterated suspension. Quart. J. Math., Oxford Ser. (2) 5, (1954). 1–10 which is an explicit reference to Greg's questions on the leve …

Homotopy dimension of a mapping

Regarding Question 1: No, I do not think that's correct. In my opinion, the definition should be one of the following: The relative homotopy dimension of $f: X \to Y$ is $\le k$ if and only if there …

$X \rtimes Y \simeq X \vee (X \wedge Y)$ for $X$ a co-H-Space

The proof is not hard, but more tedious than I would have thought. There is a canonical identification $$ X\rtimes Y = X\wedge(Y_+) $$ where $Y_+$ is the effect of adding a disjoint base point to $ …

Linking topological spheres

Let $C = S^3 \setminus A$. Alexander duality says that $$ H_1(C) \cong H^1(A) \cong \Bbb Z\, . $$ Let $\alpha: S^1 \to C$ be any map representing a generator of $H_1(C)$ (every first homology class …

Rational homotopy invariance of algebraic $K$-theory

Suppose that $R\to S$ is a 1-connected morphism of connective structured ring spectra that induces an isomorphism on rational homotopy groups. Is the induced map of (Waldhausen) K-theory spectra $$ K( …
