Halperin Conjecture

From Handwiki

Short description: Mathematical conjecture


In rational homotopy theory, the Halperin conjecture concerns the Serre spectral sequence of certain fibrations. It is named after the Canadian mathematician Stephen Halperin.

Statement

Suppose that [math]\displaystyle{ F \to E \to B }[/math] is a fibration of simply connected spaces such that [math]\displaystyle{ F }[/math] is rationally elliptic and [math]\displaystyle{ \chi(F) \neq 0 }[/math] (i.e., [math]\displaystyle{ F }[/math] has non-zero Euler characteristic), then the Serre spectral sequence associated to the fibration collapses at the [math]\displaystyle{ E_2 }[/math] page.[1]

Status

As of 2019, Halperin's conjecture is still open. Gregory Lupton has reformulated the conjecture in terms of formality relations.[2]
