Axiomatic Stable Homotopy Theory

by Mark Hovey, John Harold Palmieri, Neil P. Strickland

1997 · American Mathematical Soc.

We define and investigate a class of categories with formal properties similar to those of the homotopy category of spectra. This class includes suitable versions of the derived category of modules over a commutative ring, or of comodules over a commutative Hopf algebra, and is closed under Bousfield localization. We study various notions of smallness, questions about representability of (co)homology functors, and various kinds of localization. We prove theorems analogous to those of Hopkins and Smith about detection of nilpotence and classification of thick subcategories. We define the class of Noetherian stable homotopy categories, and investigate their special properties. Finally, we prove that a number of categories occurring in nature (including those mentioned above) satisfy our axioms.

A Son of His Father (Summarized Edition)

by Harold Bell Wright

2026 · Quickie Classics

A Son of His Father is a study of moral inheritance: a young man strives to prove worthy of a legacy as work, romance, and public reputation collide. Wright situates the story on the western ranges and in boom‐time towns, blending frontier enterprise with domestic stakes. The style is plainspoken and hortatory, favoring ethical confrontations over spectacle, yet paced with adventure. Within early twentieth‐century popular fiction, it stands between Zane Grey's outdoor Western and the business novel, interrogating how character, labor, and loyalty define a name. Harold Bell Wright, a former Disciples of Christ minister turned best‐selling novelist, brought the pastor's cadence to narrative art. His hardscrabble youth, years in the pulpit, and travels through the Southwest taught him to prize work, decency, and community building. Those experiences inform this book's insistence that moral capital and earned reputation outweigh inherited privilege. Readers who appreciate character‐driven Western settings, principled romance, and debates over honor and enterprise will find this novel both inviting and provocative. It is an excellent entry point into Progressive‐Era popular fiction and a worthy companion to The Shepherd of the Hills and The Winning of Barbara Worth. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable—distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.

Algebraic and Strong Splittings of Extensions of Banach Algebras

by William G. Bade, Harold G. Dales, Zinaida Alexandrovna Lykova

1999 · American Mathematical Soc.

In this volume, the authors address the following: Let $A$ be a Banach algebra, and let $\sum\:\ 0\rightarrow I\rightarrow\frak A\overset\pi\to\longrightarrow A\rightarrow 0$ be an extension of $A$, where $\frak A$ is a Banach algebra and $I$ is a closed ideal in $\frak A$. The extension splits algebraically (respectively, splits strongly) if there is a homomorphism (respectively, continuous homomorphism) $\theta\: A\rightarrow\frak A$ such that $\pi\circ\theta$ is the identity on $A$. Consider first for which Banach algebras $A$ it is true that every extension of $A$ in a particular class of extensions splits, either algebraically or strongly, and second for which Banach algebras it is true that every extension of $A$ in a particular class which splits algebraically also splits strongly. These questions are closely related to the question when the algebra $\frak A$ has a (strong) Wedderburn decomposition. The main technique for resolving these questions involves the Banach cohomology group $\cal H2(A,E)$ for a Banach $A$-bimodule $E$, and related cohomology groups. Later chapters are particularly concerned with the case where the ideal $I$ is finite-dimensional. Results are obtained for many of the standard Banach algebras $A$.
