Theorems in topology

Quillen's theorems A and B

In topology, a branch of mathematics, Quillen's Theorem A gives a sufficient condition for the classifying spaces of two categories to be homotopy equivalent. Quillen's Theorem B gives a sufficient condition for a square consisting of classifying spaces of categories to be . The two theorems play central roles in Quillen's Q-construction in algebraic K-theory and are named after Daniel Quillen. The precise statements of the theorems are as follows. Quillen's Theorem A — If is a functor such that the classifying space of the comma category is contractible for any object d in D, then f induces a homotopy equivalence . Quillen's Theorem B — If is a functor that induces a homotopy equivalence for any morphism , then there is an induced long exact sequence: In general, the homotopy fiber of is not naturally the classifying space of a category: there is no natural category such that . Theorem B constructs in a case when is especially nice. (Wikipedia).

Rolle’s Theorem Proof

In this video, I prove Rolle’s theorem, which says that if f(a) = f(b), then there is a point c between a and b such that f’(c) = 0. This theorem is quintessential in proving the mean-value theorem in Calculus. Along the way I prove Fermat’s theorem, which says that if f has a maximum/mini

Jennifer WILSON - High dimensional cohomology of SL_n(Z) and its principal congruence subgroups 2

Group cohomology of arithmetic groups is ubiquitous in the study of arithmetic K-theory and algebraic number theory. Rationally, SL_n(Z) and its finite index subgroups don't have cohomology above dimension n choose 2. Using Borel-Serre duality, one has access to the high dimensions. Church
