Toric homotopy theory

Toric homotopy theory
Toric homotopy theory

These notes describe some of the homotopy theory surrounding Davis-Januszkiewicz spaces, moment-angle complexes and their generalizations to polyhedral products. These spaces are defined by gluing together prod- ucts formed from pairs of spaces (X, A), where the gluing is determined by the faces of a simplicial complex K. The emphasis is on determining homotopy types - of the spaces themselves, their suspensions and their based loop spaces - and showing how these homotopy types depend on a beautiful interplay between the topology of the pairs (X, A) and the combinatorics of the simplicial complex K.

Abstract

These notes describe some of the homotopy theory surrounding Davis-Januszkiewicz spaces, moment-angle complexes and their generalizations to polyhedral products. These spaces are defined by gluing together prod- ucts formed from pairs of spaces (X, A), where the gluing is determined by the faces of a simplicial complex K. The emphasis is on determining homotopy types - of the spaces themselves, their suspensions and their based loop spaces - and showing how these homotopy types depend on a beautiful interplay between the topology of the pairs (X, A) and the combinatorics of the simplicial complex K.
