Let X be a projective, equidimensional, singular scheme over an algebraically closed field. Then the existence of a geometric smoothing (i.e. a family of deformations of X over a smooth base curve whose generic fibre is smooth) implies the…
This article is a survey of algebra in the $\infty$-categorical context, as developed by Lurie in "Higher Algebra", and is a chapter in the "Handbook of Homotopy Theory". We begin by introducing symmetric monoidal stable…
In this paper we study the deformation and Q-Gorenstein deformation theory of schemes with non-isolated singularities. We obtain obstruction spaces for the existence of deformations and also for local deformations to exist globally. Finally…
Tate cohomology has been generalised by several authors using different constructions that have applications in group theory, ring theory and homotopical algebra. Therefore, there is a need for a uniform account that explains why their…
Recall that the definition of the $K$-theory of an object C (e.g., a ring or a space) has the following pattern. One first associates to the object C a category A_C that has a suitable structure (exact, Waldhausen, symmetric monoidal, ...).…
Let M be a monoidal category endowed with a distinguished class of weak equivalences and with appropriately compatible classifying bundles for monoids and comonoids. We define and study homotopy-invariant notions of normality for maps of…
In this paper, we generalize the construction method of schemes to other algebraic categories, and show that the category of coherent schemes can be characterized by a universal property, if we fix the class of Grothendieck topology. Also,…
Stable fold maps are fundamental tools in a generalization of the theory of Morse functions on smooth manifolds and its application to studies of geometric properties of smooth manifolds. Round fold maps were introduced as stable fold maps…
Let P be a connected smooth p-manifold. We describe the group of all cobordism classes of smooth maps of n-manifolds to P with singularities of a given $cal K$-invariant class in terms of certain stable homotopy groups by applying the…
In this paper, we extend a theorem of To\"en and Vaqui\'e to the non-Archimedean and formal settings. More precisely, we prove that a smooth and proper rigid analytic variety is algebraizable if and only if its category of perfect complexes…
In this paper we aim for a generalisation of the Steenrod Approximation Theorem from, concerning a smoothing procedure for sections in smooth locally trivial bundles. The generalisation is that we consider locally trivial smooth bundles…
In this paper, we initiate a study of motivic homotopy theory at infinity. We use the six functor formalism to give an intrinsic definition of the stable motivic homotopy type at infinity of an algebraic variety. Our main computational…
We review the basic definition of a stack and apply it to the topological and smooth settings. We then address two subtleties of the theory: the correct definition of a ``stack over a stack'' and the distinction between small stacks (which…
In this paper we study a new notion of category weight of homology classes developing further the ideas of E. Fadell and S. Husseini. In the case of closed smooth manifolds the homological category weight is equivalent to the cohomological…
The goal of this paper is to generalize some of the existing toolkit of combinatorial algebraic topology in order to study the homology of abstract chain complexes. We define shellability of chain complexes in a similar way as for cell…
A closed 3-form $H \in \Omega^3_0(M)$ defines an extension of $\Gamma(TM)$ by $\Omega^2_0(M)$. This fact leads to the definition of the group of $H$-twisted Hamiltonian symmetries $\Ham(M, \JJ; H)$ as well as Hamiltonian action of Lie group…
The main aim of the present work is to arrive at a mathematical theory close to the historically original conception of generalized functions, i.e. set theoretical functions defined on, and with values in, a suitable ring of scalars and…
In order to provide a good categorical setting to the many different spaces of fields arising in the description of physical theories, a pedagogical introduction to the categorical notion of smooth sets is provided and some simple…
A smooth cuboid can be identified with a $3\times 3$ matrix of linear forms, with coefficients in a field $K$, whose determinant describes a smooth cubic in the projective plane. To each such matrix one can associate a group scheme over…
This is an exposition of a proof of the Madsen-Weiss Theorem, which asserts that the homology of mapping class groups of surfaces, in a stable dimension range, is isomorphic to the homology of a certain infinite loopspace that arises…
