A ringed finite space is a ringed space whose underlying topological space is finite. The category of ringed finite spaces contains, fully faithfully, the category of finite topological spaces and the category of affine schemes. Any ringed…

This note initiates an investigation of packing links into a region of Euclidean space to achieve a maximal density subject to geometric constraints. The upper bounds obtained apply only to the class of homotopically essential links and…

Assume M is a closed connected smooth manifold and H:T^*M->R a smooth proper function bounded from below. Suppose the sublevel set {H<d} contains the zero section and \alpha is a non-trivial homotopy class of free loops in M. Then for…

A topological hyperplane is a subspace of R^n (or a homeomorph of it) that is topologically equivalent to an ordinary straight hyperplane. An arrangement of topological hyperplanes in R^n is a finite set H such that k topological…

Let $X$ be a partially ordered set with the property that each family of order intervals of the form $[a,b],[a,\rightarrow )$ with the finite intersection property has a nonempty intersection. We show that every directed subset of $X$ has a…

In this paper, we discuss Hochschild chain models for some of the string topology operations. We use these models to simplify the proofs and computations of some of the results in string topology. Along the way we also make some new…

Let $L$ be a Lagrangian submanifold in a symplectic vector space which is closed, oriented and spin. Using virtual fundamental chains of moduli spaces of nonconstant pseudo-holomorphic disks with boundaries on $L$, one can define a…

We develop a hierarchy of semilattice bases (S-bases) for frames. For a given (unbounded) meet-semilattice $A$, we analyze the interval in the coframe of sublocales of the frame of downsets of $A$ formed by all frames with the S-base $A$.…

The recent discovery of higher-order topology has largely enriched the classification of topological materials. Theoretical and experimental studies have unveiled various higher-order topological insulators that exhibit topologically…

Topological phases, including the conventional first-order and higher-order topological insulators and semimetals, have emerged as a thriving topic in the fields of condensed-matter physics and material science. Usually, a topological…

We study the topology of singularities of $c$-optimal semicouplings in unequal dimension. Our main results describe homotopy-reductions from a source space $(X,\sigma)$ onto the singularities $Z_j$, $j\geq 0$ of $c$-optimal semicouplings…

We introduce the priority lattice, a structure arising from the priority search algorithm on rooted trees and forests. We prove bijectively that its maximal chains are labeled by parking functions, and that the maximal chains of its…

For a Hausdorff topologized semilattice $X$ its $Lawson\;\; number$ $\bar\Lambda(X)$ is the smallest cardinal $\kappa$ such that for any distinct points $x,y\in X$ there exists a family $\mathcal U$ of closed neighborhoods of $x$ in $X$…

In this paper we consider the relationship between order and topology in the vector lattice $C_b(X)$ of all bounded continuous functions on a Hausdorff space $X$. We prove that the restriction of $f\in C_b(X)$ to a closed set $A$ induces an…

A specialization semilattice is a semilattice together with a coarser preorder satisfying a compatibility condition. We show that the category of specialization semilattices is isomorphic to the category of semilattices with a congruence,…

We have developed a semiclassical theory of short periodic orbits to obtain all quantum information of a bounded chaotic Hamiltonian system. If T_1 is the period of the shortest periodic orbit, T_2 the period of the next one and so on, the…

We prove the existence of topological rings in (0,2) theories containing non-anomalous left-moving U(1) currents by which they may be twisted. While the twisted models are not topological, their ground operators form a ring under…

Let $P \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ be a closed convex cone. Assume that $P$ is pointed, i.e. the intersection $P \cap -P=\{0\}$ and $P$ is spanning, i.e. $P-P=\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Denote the interior of $P$ by $\Omega$. Let $E$ be a product system…
