Let be two Serre fibrations with same base and fibre in which all the spaces have the homotopy type of simple CW complexes of finite type. We say they are rationally homotopically equivalent if there is a homotopy equivalence between the localizations at Q which covers the identity map of BQ.Such an equivalence implies, of course, an isomorphism of cohomology algebras (over Q) and of rational homotopy groups; on the other hand isomorphisms of these classical algebraic invariants are usually (by far) insufficient to establish the existence of a rational homotopy equivalence.Nonetheless, as we shall show in this note, for certain fibrations rational homotopy equivalence is in fact implied by the existence of an isomorphism of cohomology algebras. While these fibrations are rare inside the class of all fibrations, they do include principal bundles with structure groups a connected Lie group G as well as many associated bundles with fibre G/K.

Let G be a simple, connected, compact and simply-connected Lie group. If k is the field with characteristic zero, then the algebra of cohomology H*(G ; k) is the exterior algebra generated by the elements x1, …, xl of the odd dimension n1, …, nl; the integer l is the rank of G and is the dimension of G.

We prove a theorem which facilitates homotopy classification of maps into a topological group G. Some information about homotopy groups of G is obtained, including the following two results. Consider the Samelson product, as defined in (7), which constitutes a bilinear pairing of πp(G) with πq(G) to πp+q(G). The product of a α ∈ πp(G) with β ∈ πq(G) is written in the form 〈α, β〉. There exist groups having Samelson products of infinite order. Homotopy-commutative groups have zero Samelson products. We shall proveTheorem (1·1). If G is a connected Lie group then there exists a positive integer n such that n〈α, β〉 = 0 for every pair α, β of elements in the homotopy groups of G.

Weak Homotopy Equivalence

This is the second of a series of papers which is devoted to a comprehensive theory of maps between orbifolds. In this paper, we develop a basic machinery for studying homotopy classes of such maps. It contains two parts: (1) the construction of a set of algebraic invariants — the homotopy groups, and (2) an analog of CW-complex theory. As a corollary of this machinery, the classical Whitehead theorem (which asserts that a weak homotopy equivalence is a homotopy equivalence) is extended to the orbifold category.

AbstractLet G be a second countable locally compact group possessing a normal subgroup N with G/N abelian. We prove that if G/N is discrete then G has T1 primitive ideal space if and only if the G-quasiorbits in Prim N are closed. This condition on G-quasiorbits arose in Pukanzky's work on connected and simply connected solvable Lie groups where it is equivalent to the condition of Auslander and Moore that G be type R on N (-nilradical). Using an abstract version of Pukanzky's arguments due to Green and Pedersen we establish that if G is a connected and simply connected Lie group then Prim G is T1 whenever G-quasiorbits in [G, G] are closed.

Dense immersions occur frequently in Lie group theory. Suppose that exp: g → G denotes the exponential function of a Lie group and a is a Lie subalgebra of g. Then there is a unique Lie group ALie with exponential function exp:a → ALie and an immersion f:ALie→G whose induced morphism L(j) on the Lie algebra level is the inclusion a → g and which has as image an analytic subgroup A of G. The group Ā is a connected Lie group in which A is normal and dense and the corestrictionis a dense immersion. Unless A is closed, in which case f' is an isomorphism of Lie groups, dim a = dim ALie is strictly smaller than dim h = dim H.

We show that a nuclear space of analytic functions on K is associated with each compact, connected Lie group K. Its dual space consists of distributions (generalized functions on K) which correspond to the Hida distributions in white noise analysis. We extend Hall's transform to the space of Hida distributions on K. This extension — the S-transform on K — is then used to characterize Hida distributions by holomorphic functions satisfying exponential growth conditions (U-functions). We also give a tensor description of Hida distributions which is induced by the Taylor map on U-functions. Finally we consider the Wiener path group over a complex, connected Lie group. We show that the Taylor map for square integrable holomorphic Wiener functions is not isometric w.r.t. the natural tensor norm. This indicates (besides other arguments) that there might be no generalization of Hida distribution theory for (noncommutative) path groups equipped with Wiener measure.
