Vanilla 1.1.10 is a product of Lussumo. More Information: Documentation, Community Support.
added to Stiefel-Whitney class briefly the definition/characterization.
added to exceptional generalized geometry two examples of reductions of stucture groups that encode higher supersymmetry in 11d sugra.
added a table with some homotopy groups in the unstable range to orthogonal group – Homotopy groups
[deleted]
a bare list of references, to be !include
-ed into the References-sections of relevant entries (such as D=11 supergravit, supergravity C-field, premetric C-fields)
Created page for Field, the category of fields. (See discussions on initial object.)
I fixed a link to a pdf file that was giving a general page, and not the file!
Added that it’s a strict terminal object.
started a Properties-section at Lawvere theory with some basic propositions.
Would be thankful if some experts looked over this.
Also added the example of the theory of sets. (A longer list of examples would be good!) And added the canonical reference.
I added a little bit of material to ordered field, namely that a field is orderable iff it is a real field (i.e., is not a sum of squares). More importantly, at real closed field, I have addressed an old query of Colin Tan:
Colin: Is it true that real closure is an adjoint construction to the forgetful functor from real closed fields to orderable fields?
by writing out a proof (under Properties) that indeed the forgetful functor from category of real closed fields and field homomorphisms to the category of real fields and field homomorphisms has a left adjoint (the real closure). Therefore I am removing this query from that page over to here.
I added to field a mention of some other constructive variants of the definition, with a couple more references.
concerning the discussion here: notice that an entry rig category had once been created, already.
brief category:people
-entry for hyperlinking references at equivariant stable homotopy theory and enriched (infinity,1)-category theory
Created page for finitely complete analogue to finitely cocomplete.
clearing this old entry, making “finitely cocomplete” instead a redirect to finitely cocomplete category
adding paper
Added to group object the Yoneda-embedding-style definition and added supergroup to the list of examples.
added to gravity references discussing the covariant phase space of gravity, as part of a reply to this TP.SE-question
added pointer to:
Domenico Fiorenza started a page for the thesis of his student, Alessandra Capotosti: From String structures to Spin structures on loop spaces.
Am I right in thinking the main innovation is the passage from the map
to
Is that likely to work more generally, e.g., can one do something similar with
added to shtuka a pointer to
added to supergravity Lie 6-algebra a brief discussion of how the equations of motion of 11-d supergravity encode precisely the “rheonomic” -connections with values in the supergravity Lie 6-algebra.
Created new page for Paul Olam, which was already dead-linked on non-abelian algebraic topology. Added paper from that page as well as a new paper added on lens spaces.
Added paper now used as reference on lens spaces.
Created page for E. J. Brody and added paper from lens spaces.
I worked on Nonabelian Algebraic Topology
made the entry “category: reference”. all about the book by Brown et al – if we feel we need a more generic entry with lower case title later, we can still split it off again
then I started adding a “Contents” section similar to what we have at Elephant and Higher Topos Theory etc., and started adding some of the content of relevance for the cosmic cube.
Am splitting this off from Weil algebra – for the moment just in order to record some pointers related to the notion called “adjusted Weil algebras” (for -algebras) in
and followups.
I have been editing the entry homotopy equivalence to include a brief discussion of strong homotopy equivalences and Vogt's lemma. In so doing, I have followed my nose and found various other entries to edit. For instance that for Hans Baues, that for cylinder functor, etc. I am thinking that the general area of Henry Whitehead's idea of algebraic homotopy, may be a useful intermediate one between the infinity category ideas (which could be seen as just a 'souped up' version of Kan complexes), (I am not saying they are just that a cynic might make them out to be!) and the algebraic topologists desire to perform calculations. Note the quotes at algebraic homotopy. Of course, they d not say what 'compute' means in this context. (Note we do not have an entry on Whitehead as yet.)
created a minimum at Penrose-Hawking singularity theorem
Created page. Added paper about topological complexity used on real projective space and complex projective space.
For no particular reason, I have added another illustrating graphics to the entry, taken from Fig 1.3 in Apostol 1973.
stub for discrete torsion
A comparatively long and technical section “From hom-functors to units and counits” (on adjoint functors) was sitting inside the Idea-section of adjunction. It seemed plainly misplaced there, and distracting attention from what should be the content of this entry, as opposed to the entry adjoint functor. So I have moved it now to where it seems to belong: inside the Examples-section.
expanded a bit on the Fundamental theorem of Hopf modules, added reference
Added paper about topological complexity used on real projective space and complex projective space.
Created page and added writings about topological complexity.
starting a page meant to be a survey of modern flux quantization (using material from part I of Introduction to Hypothesis H)
So far just some lead-in paragraphs.
Created the page for topological complexity. I will re-check all formulas, conventions and references in the next days.
