We introduce a new homology theory of compact orbifolds called stratified simplicial homology (or st-homology for short) from some special kind of triangulations adapted to the orbifolds. In the definition of st-homology, the orders of the local groups of the points in an orbifold is encoded in the boundary map so that the theory can capture some structural information of the orbifold. We can prove that st-homology is an invariant under orbifold isomorhpisms and more generally under homotopy equivalences that preserve the orders of the local groups of all the strata. It turns out that the free part of st-homology of an orbifold can be interpreted by the usual simplicial homology of the orbifold and its singular set. So it is the torsion part of st-homology that can really give us new information of an orbifold. In general, the size of the torsion in the st-homology group of a compact orbifold is a nonlinear function on the orders of the local groups of the singular points which may reflect the complexity and the correlation of the singular points in the orbifold. Moreover, we introduce a wider class of objects called pseudo-orbifolds and develop the whole theory of st-homology in this setting.
This paper investigates the homology of the Brauer algebras, interpreted as appropriate Tor-groups, and shows that it is closely related to the homology of the symmetric group. Our main results show that when the defining parameter of the Brauer alge
This paper studies the homology and cohomology of the Temperley-Lieb algebra TL_n(a), interpreted as appropriate Tor and Ext groups. Our main result applies under the common assumption that a=v+v^{-1} for some unit v in the ground ring, and states th
In this paper we compute the singular homology of the space of immersions of the circle into the $n$-sphere. Equipped with Chas-Sullivans loop product these homology groups are graded commutative algebras, we also compute these algebras. We enrich Mo
We give a new proof of an index theorem for fiber bundles of compact topological manifolds due to Dwyer, Weiss, and Williams, which asserts that the parametrized $A$-theory characteristic of such a fiber bundle factors canonically through the assembl
The study of triangulations on manifolds is closely related to understanding the three-dimensional homology cobordism group. We review here what is known about this group, with an emphasis on the local equivalence methods coming from Pin(2)- equivari
