Lectures on Functor Homology
рдпреЛ рдЗ-рдкреБрд╕реНрддрдХрдХрд╛ рдмрд╛рд░реЗрдорд╛
In the lectures by Aur├йlien Djament, polynomial functors appear as coefficients in the homology of infinite families of classical groups, e.g. general linear groups or symplectic groups, and their stabilization. DjamentтАЩs theorem states that this stable homology can be computed using only the homology with trivial coefficients and the manageable functor homology. The series includes an intriguing development of ScorichenkoтАЩs unpublished results.
The lectures by Wilberd van der Kallen lead to the solution of the general cohomological finite generation problem, extending HilbertтАЩs fourteenth problem and its solution to the context of cohomology. The focus here is on the cohomology of algebraic groups, or rational cohomology, and the coefficients are Friedlander and SuslinтАЩs strict polynomial functors, a conceptual form of modules over the Schur algebra.
Roman MikhailovтАЩs lectures highlight topological invariants: homoto
py and homology of topological spaces, through derived functors of polynomial functors. In this regard the functor framework makes better use of naturality, allowing it to reach calculations that remain beyond the grasp of classical algebraic topology.Lastly, Antoine Touz├йтАЩs introductory course on homological algebra makes the book accessible to graduate students new to the field.
The links between functor homology and the three fields mentioned above offer compelling arguments for pushing the development of the functor viewpoint. The lectures in this book will provide readers with a feel for functors, and a valuable new perspective to apply to their favourite problems.
