In this paper we survey three approaches to computing the homology of a finite dimensional compact smooth closed manifold using a Morse-Bott function and discuss relationships among the three approaches. The first approach is to perturb the…

We show that if a complex has free finitely generated reduced homology groups for two consecutive dimensions and trivial homology for all other dimensions, then it must have the homotopy type of a wedge of spheres of two consecutive…

We apply the Darboux integrability method to determine first integrals and Hamiltonian formulations of three dimensional polynomial systems; namely the reduced three-wave interaction problem, the Rabinovich system, the Hindmarsh-Rose model,…

I explicitly compute the Eilenberg-Mac Lane homology of a completely simple semigroup using topological means. I also complete Gray and Pride's investigation into the homological finiteness properties of completely simple semigroups, as…

The energy levels of the first few low-lying states of helium and lithium atoms in intense magnetic fields up to $\approx 10^8-10^9$~T are calculated in this study. A pseudospectral method is employed for the computational procedure. The…

We study the computational complexity of determining the Hausdorff distance of two polytopes given in halfspace- or vertex-presentation in arbitrary dimension. Subsequently, a matching problem is investigated where a convex body is allowed…

We develop a general method to calculate entropy numbers of standard Sobolev's classes on an arbitrary compact homogeneous Riemannian manifold. Our method is essentially based on a detailed study of geometric characteristics of norms…

We build free, bigraded bidifferential algebra models for the forms on a complex manifold, with respect to a strong notion of quasi-isomorphism and compatible with the conjugation symmetry. This answers a question of Sullivan. The resulting…

The purpose of this paper is to describe a method for computing homotopy groups of the space of $\alpha$-stable representations of a quiver with fixed dimension vector and stability parameter $\alpha$. The main result is that the homotopy…

We compute the dimensions of the Hochschild cohomology of symmetric groups over prime fields in low degrees. This involves us in studying some partition identities and generating functions of the dimensions in any fixed degree of the…

Here we study the automorphism groups of $1$-designs constructed from finite nonabelian simple groups by using two methods presented in Moori (Information Security, Coding Theory and Related Combinatorics, 2011). We obtain some general…

We construct a cohomology theory with compact support H^i_c(X_ar,Z(n))$ for separated schemes of finite type over a finite field, which should play a role analog to Lichtenbaum's Weil-etale cohomology groups for smooth and projective…

We use algebraic methods to compute the simple Hurwitz numbers for arbitrary source and target Riemann surfaces. For an elliptic curve target, we reproduce the results previously obtained by string theorists. Motivated by the Gromov-Witten…

In this paper we give a characterization of the possible homology groups that can occur for compact simply connected cohomogeneity one manifolds in dimensions seven and lower.

We consider the automorphism groups of various Lorentzian lattices over the Eisenstein, Gaussian, and Hurwitz integers, and in some of them we find reflection groups of finite index. These provide new finite-covolume reflection groups…

A direct relation between the enumeration of ordinary maps and that of fully simple maps first appeared in the work of the first and last authors. The relation is via monotone Hurwitz numbers and was originally proved using Weingarten…

A spectral sequence calculating the homology groups of some spaces of maps equivariant under compact group actions is described. For the main example, we calculate the rational homology groups of spaces of even and odd maps $S^m \to S^M$,…

This paper provides a systematic study of symmetry properties for cyclotomic multiple Hurwitz zeta values with multiple variables and parameters by applying the methods of contour integration and the residue theorem. The main contributions…

We study a construction of the Mathieu group $M_{12}$ using a game reminiscent of Loyd's ``15-puzzle''. The elements of $M_{12}$ are realized as permutations on~12 of the~13 points of the finite projective plane of order~3. There is a…

We define hypergeometric functions using intersection homology valued in a local system. Topology is emphasized; analysis enters only once, via the Hodge decomposition. By a pull-back procedure we construct special subsets S_{pi}, derived…
