Counting conjugacy classes of elements of finite order in p-compact groups
José Cantarero, Bernardo Villarreal
We express the set of representations from a cyclic -group to a connected -compact group in terms of the associated reflection group and compute its cardinality for each exot…
On the second homotopy group of the classifying space for commutativity in Lie groups
Bernardo Villarreal
In this note we show that the second homotopy group of , the classifying space for commutativity for a compact Lie group , contains a direct summand isomorphic to $π_1(G…
On families of nilpotent subgroups and associated coset posets
Simon Gritschacher, Bernardo Villarreal
We study some properties of the coset poset associated with the family of subgroups of class of a nilpotent group of class . We prove that under certain assumption…
The Complex of Affinely Commutative Sets
Omar Antolín-Camarena, Bernardo Villarreal
We show that for some classes of groups , the homotopy fiber of the inclusion of the classifying space for commutativity into the class…
Commutative cocycles and stable bundles over surfaces
Daniel A. Ramras, Bernardo Villarreal
Commutative K-theory, a cohomology theory built from spaces of commuting matrices, has been explored in recent work of Adem, Gómez, Gritschacher, Lind, and Tillman. In this article…
Classifying spaces for commutativity of low-dimensional Lie groups
Omar Antolín-Camarena, Simon Gritschacher, Bernardo Villarreal
For each of the groups , we compute the integral and -cohomology rings of (the classifying space for commutativity of ), th…
