The singularity and cosingularity categories of C ∗ B G for groups with cyclic Sylow p-subgroups
We construct a differential graded algebra (DGA) modelling certain A∞ algebras associated with a finite group G with cyclic Sylow subgroups, namely H∗BG and H∗ΩBG∧p. We use our construction to investigate the singularity and cosingularity categories of these algebras. We give a complete classification of the indecomposables in these categories, and describe the Auslander--Reiten quiver. The theory applies to Brauer tree algebras in arbitrary characteristic, and we end with an example in characteristic zero coming from the Hecke algebras of symmetric groups
Complete intersections and mod p cochains
We give homotopy invariant definitions corresponding to three well known
properties of complete intersections, for the ring, the module theory and the
endomorphisms of the residue field, and we investigate them for the mod p
cochains on a space, showing that suitable versions of the second and third are
equivalent and that the first is stronger. We are particularly interested in
classifying spaces of groups, and we give a number of examples.
This paper follows on from arXiv:0906.4025 which considered the classical
case of a commutative ring and arXiv:0906.3247 which considered the case of
rational homotopy theory.Comment: To appear in AG
Monovalent chiral-at-copper complexes: halide-controlled diastereoselectivity
An unusual example of diastereoselectivity has been observed in Cu(κ3-P,C,P′-1)X complexes where 1 is an asymmetric tridentate ligand containing a bicyclic NHC framework and X is a halide. When X is Cl−, the SCu isomer is formed selectively whereas when X = I− the RCu diastereomer is preferred
Variable coordination of a chiral diphosphine containing an amidinium/NHC group within its backbone: μ-P,P′, κ2-P,P′ and κ3-P,C,P′ coordination modes
A diphosphine ligand (1·HPF6), which is a potential precursor to a PCNHCP pincer, with a backbone containing two phenylene groups and a central bicyclic 4-aza-2-azoniabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene unit has been synthesised and coordinated to Pd(II) and Pt(II) to give trans-[M(κ2-P,P′-1·H)Cl2]PF6 where M = Pd (2) or Pt (3a). Single-crystal structure determinations of 2 and 3a show the complexes to be isostructural with the diphosphine coordinated in a trans-spanning fashion and the amidinium unit being protonated and non-coordinated. 2 and 3a react with CH3I to give the dimers trans-[Pd2(μ-1·H)2I4](PF6)2, 6, and trans-[Pt2(μ-1·H)2I4](PF6)2, 7, as the major products. This bridging mode of coordination of [1·H]+ is also seen in trans-[Rh2(μ-1·H)(1,5-COD)2Cl2]PF6, 4, and [Pt2(μ-κ2-1·H)(dvdms)]PF6, 5. Upon treatment with KOtBu complexes 2 and 3a undergo deprotonation at the amidinium carbon to give trans-[M(κ3-P,C,P′-1)Cl]PF6 where M = Pd (8), and Pt (9). The related trans-[Rh(κ3-P,C,P′-1)(CO)]PF6 (10) is prepared directly from 1·HPF6 and Rh(acac)(CO)2: this and the palladium and platinum complexes 8 and 9 are isolated as isomeric mixtures as a consequence of a conformational isomerism. In situ deprotonation of 1·HPF6 followed by addition of Ag(CF3SO3) gave SAg-[Ag(κ3-P,C,P′-1)(CF3SO3)], 11. Some preliminary studies of the reactivity of 2 and 8 in Suzuki-type reactions are reported and the Pt(0) system has been shown to be an active hydrosilylation catalyst
Seeing the way: visual sociology and the distance runner's perspective
Employing visual and autoethnographic data from a two‐year research project on distance runners, this article seeks to examine the activity of seeing in relation to the activity of distance running. One of its methodological aims is to develop the linkage between visual and autoethnographic data in combining an observation‐based narrative and sociological analysis with photographs. This combination aims to convey to the reader not only some of the specific subcultural knowledge and particular ways of seeing, but also something of the runner's embodied feelings and experience of momentum en route. Via the combination of narrative and photographs we seek a more effective way of communicating just how distance runners see and experience their training terrain. The importance of subjecting mundane everyday practices to detailed sociological analysis has been highlighted by many sociologists, including those of an ethnomethodological perspective. Indeed, without the competence of social actors in accomplishing these mundane, routine understandings and practices, it is argued, there would in fact be no social order
