SynopsisComponents in the function space of maps from a space X to the classifying space BG of a topological group G can sometimes be distinguished up to homotopy type by a Samelson product method. When X is a closed Riemann surface and G is a unitary group, this method is nearly sufficient to classify the components up to homotopy type.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the homotopy type of the partially ordered set of left cosets of abelian subgroups in an extraspecial p-group. We prove that the universal cover of its nerve is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of r-spheres where {2r\geq 4} is the rank of its Frattini quotient. This determines the homotopy type of the universal cover of the classifying space of transitionally commutative bundles as introduced in [2].

SynopsisLet Gk be the gauge group of Pk, the principal SU(2) bundle over S4 with c2(Pk) = k. In this paper we show that Gk ≃ Gk. if and only if (12, k) = (12, k′) where (12, k) is the GCD of 12 and k.

Topological Version

We study a topological version of the T-duality relation between pairs consisting of a principal U(1)-bundle equipped with a degree-three integral cohomology class. We describe the homotopy type of a classifying space for such pairs and show that it admits a selfmap which implements a T-duality transformation. We give a simple derivation of a T-duality isomorphism for certain twisted cohomology theories. We conclude with some explicit computations of twisted K-theory groups and discuss an example of iterated T-duality for higher-dimensional torus bundles.

Homotopy Types

The aim of this paper is to show that the p-local homotopy type of the gauge group of a principal bundle over an even-dimensional sphere is completely determined by the divisibility of the classifying map by p. In particular, for gauge groups of principal SU(n)-bundles over S2d for 2 ≤ d ≤ p − 1 and n ≤ 2p − 1, we give a concrete classification of their p-local homotopy types.

AbsractIn this paper, it is shown that any connected, small category can be embedded in a semi-groupoid (a category in which there is at least one isomorphism between any two elements) in such a way that the embedding includes a homotopy equivalence of classifying spaces. This immediately gives a monoid whose classifying space is of the same homotopy type as that of the small category. This construction is essentially algorithmic, and furthermore, yields a finitely presented monoid whenever the small category is finitely presented. Some of these results are generalizations of ideas of McDuff.
