CW complexes are used extensively in algebraic topology, but the product of two CW complexes need not be a CW complex, as shown by Dowker. Whilst Whitehead and Milnor gave sufficient conditions for the product to be a CW complex, all…
In this paper we consider classifying spaces of a family of $p$-groups and we prove that mod $p$ cohomology enriched with Bockstein spectral sequences determines their homotopy type among $p$-completed CW-complexes. We end with some…
This is an expository article on the noncommutative singularity theory of power series in noncommuting variables, its motivation from deformation theory, and its applications to contractibility of curves and the classification of smooth…
We study ordered configuration spaces $C(n;p,q)$ of $n$ hard squares in a $p \times q$ rectangle, a generalization of the well-known "15 Puzzle". Our main interest is in the topology of these spaces. Our first result is to describe a…
This PhD thesis aims at describing the applications of noncommutative geometry to particle physics and quantum field theory. It includes a brief survey of the basic principles and definitions of noncommutative geometry such as spectral…
In this note, we fill in a gap in the literature by proving that the Teichmueller modular groups (mapping class groups) are not Poincare duality groups and the complexes of curves of surfaces have infinite homotopy type (i.e. are not…
Almost forty years ago, C.T.C. Wall systematically analyzed the set of "thickenings" of a finite CW complex. Of the results he obtained, probably the most computationally important is the "suspension theorem," which is an exact sequence…
A noncommutative and non-anticommutative quantum field theory is formulated in a superspace, in which the superspace coordinates satisfy noncommutative and non-anticommutative relations. A perturbative scalar field theory is investigated in…
One presents a phase-space noncommutative extension of Quantum Cosmology in the context of a Kantowski-Sachs (KS) minisuperspace model. We obtain the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation for the noncommutative system through the ADM formalism and…
We introduce a framework for coverings of noncommutative spaces. Moreover, we study noncommutative coverings of irrational quantum tori and characterize all such coverings that are connected in a reasonable sense.
We initiate the theory of real noncommutative (nc) convex sets, the real case of the recent and profound complex theory developed by Davidson and Kennedy. The present paper focuses on the real case of the topics from the first several…
Noncommutative field theory (NCFT) is an extension of quantum field theory (QFT) that redefines spacetime, replacing commuting coordinates with a noncommutative structure. This shift fundamentally alters the way fields, interactions, and…
In this paper we study noncommutative plane curves, i.e. non-commutative k-algebras for which the 1-dimensional simple modules form a plane curve. We study extensions of simple modules and we try to enlighten the completion problem, i.e.…
We show if $A$ is a finite CW-complex such that algebraic theories detect mapping spaces out of $A$, then $A$ has the homology type of a wedge of spheres of the same dimension. Furthermore, if $A$ is simply connected then $A$ has the…
We use non-commutative geometry to study the bulk of finite dimensional representations of the modular group SL(2,Z). We give specific 2n-parameter families of 6n-dimensional representations obtained from the quotient singularity C^2/Z_6.
Several characterizations of complex ellipsoids among convex bodies in Cn, in terms of their sections and projections are proved. Characterizing complex symmetry in similar terms is an important tool.
For every quiver (valued) of finite representation type we define a finitely presented group called a picture group. This group is very closely related to the cluster theory of the quiver. For example, positive expressions for the Coxeter…
Locally convex curves in the sphere $S^n$ have been studied for several reasons, including the study of linear ordinary differential equations. Taking Frenet frames obtains corresponding curves $\Gamma$ in the group $Spin_{n+1}$; $\Pi:…
We discuss the noncommutative generalizations of polynomial algebras which after appropriate completions can be used as coordinate algebras in various noncommutative settings, (noncommutative differential geometry, noncommutative algebraic…
In this paper we use considerations of non-commutative geometry to deduce a model for QCD interactions. The model also explains within the same theoretical framework hitherto purely phenomenological characteristics of the quarks like their…
