Topological equivalence

A long-standing conjecture due to Michael Freedman asserts that the 4-dimensional topological surgery conjecture fails for non-abelian free groups, or equivalently that a family of canonical examples of links (the generalized Borromean rings) are not A − B slice. A stronger version of the conjecture, that the Borromean rings are not even weakly A − B slice, where one drops the equivariant aspect of the problem, has been the main focus in the search for an obstruction to surgery.

The purpose of this paper is to prove that the stable homotopy category of algebraic topology is ‘rigid’ in the sense that it admits essentially only one model: Rigidity Theorem. Let C be a stable model category. If the homotopy category of C and the homotopy category of spectra are equivalent as triangulated categories, then there exists a Quillen equivalence between C and the model category of spectra. Our reference model is the category of spectra in the sense of Bousfield and Friedlander [BF, §2] with the stable model structure. The point of the rigidity theorem is that its...

In the two parts of this paper we prove that the Reidemeister torsion invariants determine topological equivalence of G-representations, for G a finite cyclic group. 1. Introduction Let G be a finite group and V , V finite dimensional real orthogonal representations of G. Then V is said to be topologically equivalent to V (denoted V ∼t V ) if there exists a homeomorphism h : V → V which is G-equivariant. If V , V are topologically equivalent, but not linearly isomorphic, then such a homeomorphism is called a nonlinear similarity. ...
