The goal of this work is to study Alexander-Whitney coalgebras (first defined in [HPST06]) from a topological point of view. An Alexander-Whitney coalgebra is a coassociative chain coalgebra over Z with an extra algebraic structure : the comultiplication m ...
We establish model category structures on algebras and modules over operads in symmetric spectra and study when a morphism of operads induces a Quillen equivalence between corresponding categories of algebras (resp. modules) over operads. ...
We exhibit a counterexample to a fiber theorem stated by F. Fumagalli [J. Algebra 283 (2) (2005), 639-654] and show how it affects the rest of Fumagalli's paper. As a consequence, whether the poset A_p(G) is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres for an ...
All the results in this work concern (finite) p-groups. Chapter 1 is concerned with classifications of some classes of p-groups of class 2 and there are no particularly new results in this chapter, which serves more as an introductory chapter. The "geometr ...
