CW complex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In topology, a CW complex is a type of topological space introduced by J.H.C. Whitehead to meet the needs of homotopy theory. A general cell complex would be a topological space X that is covered by cells; or to put it another way, we start with a space that is the disjoint union of some collection of cells, and take X as a quotient space, for some equivalence relation. The idea was to have a class of spaces that was broader than simplicial complexes (we could say now, had better categorical properties); but still retained a combinatorial nature, so that computational considerations were not ignored. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cell_complex   (1022 words)

Re: Fibrations This is dual to the filtration of a CW complex by its skeleta and leads to spectral sequences. CW complexes and cellular maps, much more promising, although also *very very* intricate and leading soon to highly complex and heavy algebra. A typical cofibration is the inclusion map of a subcomplex of a CW complex in the full complex. www.lns.cornell.edu /spr/1999-11/msg0019178.html   (414 words)

Compactly generated space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The category of compactly generated Hausdorff spaces is general enough to include all metric spaces, topological manifolds, and all CW complexes. There have been various attempts to remedy this situation, one of which is to restrict oneself to the full subcategory of compactly generated Hausdorff spaces, that is, compactly generated spaces which are also Hausdorff. Given any topological space X we can define a (possibly) finer topology on X which is compactly generated. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Compactly_generated_space   (371 words)

ijlbeanCW.txt The complex E consists of one free A-orbit of * *0-cells, four free orbits of 1-cells, and four free orbits of 2-cells. The model for B_C consisting of E=C has one 0-cell, two 1-cells and two 2-c* *ells, and is the presentation complex for the presentation : This is a presentation for the trivial group, and hence the 2-complex E=C is co* *ntractible as claimed. The Coxeter presentation for G may be encoded as a simplicial complex, K =* * K(G), whose vertices are the Coxeter generators for G and whose simplices are sets of* * commuting generators. hopf.math.purdue.edu /Leary-Nucinkis/ijlbeanCW.txt   (5614 words)

Re: orbifolds - a simple example in R^2? CW complexes are made out of simpler pieces - balls as opposed to manifolds - but we allow the pieces to be stuck together in more general ways. Also, the pieces of a CW complex are always closed, while in a stratified space the top stratum is open - and then when we remove that, the next stratum is open, and so on. Stratified spaces are good when you want to do *differential topology* on something a bit more singular than a manifold, while CW complexes are designed for doing *homotopy theory*. www.lns.cornell.edu /spr/1999-02/msg0014413.html   (296 words)

nk59.txt With rergard to inverse limits in the category of spaces, it is clear that the inverse limit of CW complexes does not have to be the homotopy type of a CW complex. The homology is not finitely generated, but if this were homotopy equivalent to a CW complex, the image of such an equivalence would lie in a finite subcomplex, being compact. The notion of a CW complex dates from a 1949 article by JHC Whitehead, and examples like this seem to have been known from the beginning. www.lehigh.edu /dmd1/public/www-data/nk59.txt   (406 words)

Eilenberg-MacLane space -- In mathematics, an Eilenberg-MacLane space is a s... A K(π,n) can be constructed stage-by-stage, as a CW complex, starting with a wedge of spheres, one for each generator of the group π, and adding cells in (possibly infinite number of) higher dimensions so as to kill all extra homotopy. Every CW complex possesses a Postnikov tower, that is, it is homotopy equivalent to an iterated fibration with fibers the Eilenberg—Mac Lane spaces. Then an Eilenberg—MacLane space exists, as a CW complex, and is unique up to a weak homotopy equivalence. eilenberg-maclane-space.en.tracking24.net   (312 words)

FELLESKOLLOKVIUM CW-complexes are topological spaces built inductively by "gluing" the boundaries of disks, called the cells of the complex, to previous stages in the construction. Any topological space X can be approximated by a CW-complex, in the sense that there always exists a continuous map from a CW-complex to X inducing an isomorphism on the homotopy groups. www.math.uio.no /~rognes/topsem/oppslag.120500.html   (167 words)

bg13.txt It was the following: 1) The barycentric subdivision of a semisimplicial CW complex is a regular semisimplicial CW complex. 2) The barycentric subdivision of a regular semisimplicial CW complex is a (geometrical) simplicial complex. Simplicial sets used to be called complete semisimplicial complexes(css complexes); the word complete referred to the incorporation of degeneracy operations with the face operations, so a semisimplicial complex only had face operators (i.e, the hom sets in the domain category consisted of strict monomorphisms [n]--->[m]). www.lehigh.edu /~dmd1/bg13.txt   (727 words)

[The Harborsite] Substance 33 He is intimately familiar with CW agent detection techniques and with the Soviet chemical weapons complex. I spoke with Mirzayanov in early 1996 about Novichok and the possible use of Soviet CW agents during the Persian Gulf War. CW agent detection equipment just cannot detect agents in solid form (so-called andquot;dustyandquot; agents). Substance 33 could also have been mixed with sand particles and transported by the wind to soldiers, while remaining undetected. Mirzayanov maintained that all American CW agent detection equipment operated on the principle of what he called "ion mobility spectroscopy." He declared such equipment is designed and configured to detect a certain number of known CW agents. grunt.space.swri.edu /pipermail/harborsite/2003-January/001051.html   (4765 words)

Schedule The calculation of the homology of CW complexes via the cellular chain complex is a result of both theoretical and practical importance. After the first two weeks of the course, you should be able to display the ``exact couple'' associated to the filtraton of the homology of a CW complex, and show how to obtain the cellular chain complex from it. You should now be able to calculate the cohomology of a CW complex with coefficents in an abelian group www.math.uiuc.edu /~mando/classes/20012002/431/node2.html   (413 words)

Abstract We prove that, up to homotopy equivalence, every connected CW-complex is the quotient of a contractible complex by a proper action of a discrete group, and that every CW-complex is the quotient of an aspherical complex by an action of a group of order two. I don't know whether this result is true or not, but it certainly can't be true that `every finite-dimensional CW-complex is the quotient of a finite-dimensional acyclic complex by an action of a group of order two', since any such space would have to be mod-2 acyclic by Smith theory. The Mathematical Review of this paper mis-states one of our results as `every CW-complex is the quotient of an acyclic complex by an action of a group of order two'. www.maths.soton.ac.uk /~ijl/abstracts/abs18.html   (197 words)

abstracts.html For a simply connected, finite type CW- complex X we introduce a geometric notion of cone-length extending the rational one introduced by Lemaire and Sigrist and we show that it is larger by at most one than the L.S. category. The rigidity results for these complexes show that the complex of a fixed generic function/hamiltonian is a retract of the Morse (respectively Novikov or Floer) complex of any other sufficiently $C^{0}$ close generic function/hamiltonian. A rigidity result is also proved for the Floer complex of a hamiltonian defined on a closed symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ with $c_{1}_{\pi_{2}(M)}=[\omega]_{\pi_{2}(M)}=0$. www.dms.umontreal.ca /~cornea/abstracts.html   (1334 words)

No. 89-1 All financing associated with the construction, equipping and operation of the Libyan CW complex must cease, for example all disbursements under existing loan agreements should be terminated and no new supplier credits offered. Verification: While the Libyan plant is a dedicated CW facility, Gadhafi's protestations that it is a pharmaceutical complex nicely illustrates the problem: essentially any facility that actually is meant for production of civilian chemical products (for example, pesticides, fertilizers, and pharmaceuticals) has the inherent ability to produce toxic chemical agents for weapons. In fact, the verification problem associated with a CW ban is made even more intractable by the fact that chemical agents (and biological and toxin weapons for that matter) can now be manufactured using commercially available systems that can be located at essentially any facility. www.security-policy.org /papers/1989/89-1.html   (1258 words)

Cores of spaces, spectra, and E_infty ring spectra, by P. Hu, I. Kriz, and J.P. May For any space or spectrum Y that is p-local and (n_0-1)-connected and has pi_{n_0}(Y) cyclic, there is a p-local, (n_0-1)-connected ``nuclear'' CW complex or CW spectrum X and a map f : X to Y that induces an isomorphism on pi_{n_0} and a monomorphism on all homotopy groups. Nuclear complexes are atomic: a self-map that induces an isomorphism on pi_{n_0} must be an equivalence. The construction of X from Y is neither functorial nor even unique up to equivalence, but it is there. www.math.uiuc.edu /K-theory/0571   (184 words)
