Representation up to homotopy

A Representation up to homotopy has several meanings. One of the earliest appeared in the `physical' context of constrained Hamiltonian systems. The essential idea is lifting a non-representation on a quotient to a representation up to strong homotopy on a resolution of the quotient.As a concept in differential geometry, it generalizes the notion of representation of a Lie algebra to Lie algebroids and nontrivial vector bundles. As such, it was introduced by Abad and Crainic. As a motivation consider a regular Lie algebroid (A,ρ,[.,.]) (regular meaning that the anchor ρ has constant rank) where we have two natural A-connections on g(A) = ker ρ and ν(A)= TM/im ρ respectively: In the deformation theory of the Lie algebroid A there is a long exact sequence This suggests that the correct cohomology for the deformations (here denoted as Hdef) comes from the direct sum of the two modules g(A) and ν(A) and should be called adjoint representation. Note however that in the more general case where ρ does not have constant rank we cannot easily define the representations g(A) and ν(A). Instead we should consider the 2-term complex A→TM and a representation on it. This leads to the notion explained here. (Wikipedia).

Introduction to Homotopy Theory- PART 1: UNIVERSAL CONSTRUCTIONS

The goal of this series is to develop homotopy theory from a categorical perspective, alongside the theory of model categories. We do this with the hope of eventually developing stable homotopy theory, a personal goal a passion of mine. I'm going to follow nLab's notes, but I hope to add t

Homomorphisms in abstract algebra

In this video we add some more definition to our toolbox before we go any further in our study into group theory and abstract algebra. The definition at hand is the homomorphism. A homomorphism is a function that maps the elements for one group to another whilst maintaining their structu

Homomorphisms in abstract algebra examples

Yesterday we took a look at the definition of a homomorphism. In today's lecture I want to show you a couple of example of homomorphisms. One example gives us a group, but I take the time to prove that it is a group just to remind ourselves of the properties of a group. In this video th
