Free And Semi-Inert Cell Attachments, Peter Bubenik Jan 2005

Free And Semi-Inert Cell Attachments, Peter Bubenik

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Let Y be the space obtained by attaching a finite-type wedge of cells to a simply-connected, finite-type CW-complex. We introduce the free and semi-inert conditions on the attaching map which broadly generalize the previously-studied inert condition. Under these conditions we determine H (QY; R) as an R-module and as an R-algebra, respectively. Under a further condition we show that H. (QY; R) is generated by Hurewicz images. As an example we study an infinite family of spaces constructed using only semi-inert cell attachments.
