We define for a topological group G and a family of subgroups F two versions for the classifying space for the family F, the G-CW-version E_F(G) and the numerable G-space version J_F(G). They agree if G is discrete, or if G is a Lie group…
Among plenty of applications, low-dimensional homogeneous spaces appear in cosmological models as both, classical factor spaces of multidimensional geometry and minisuperspaces in canonical quantization. Here a new tool to restrict their…
Category theory provides a powerful tool to organize mathematics. A sample of this descriptive power is given by the categorical analysis of the practice of "classes as shorthands" in ZF set theory. In this case category theory provides a…
Generalising Segal's approach to 1-fold loop spaces, the homotopy theory of $n$-fold loop spaces is shown to be equivalent to the homotopy theory of reduced $\Theta_n$-spaces, where $\Theta_n$ is an iterated wreath product of the simplex…
This paper investigates some issues arising in categorical models of reversible logic and computation. Our claim is that the structural (coherence) isomorphisms of these categorical models, although generally overlooked, have decidedly…
In this series of papers, we propose a theory of enumerative invariants counting self-dual objects in self-dual categories. Ordinary enumerative invariants in abelian categories can be seen as invariants for the structure group $\mathrm{GL}…
For a smooth projective variety $X$ of dimension $d \geq 5$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero, it is shown in this paper that the bounded derived category of the Hilbert scheme of three points $X^{[3]}$ admits a…
An orthogonality space is a set equipped with a symmetric and irreflexive binary relation. We consider orthogonality spaces with the additional property that any collection of mutually orthogonal elements gives rise to the structure of a…
What is Sequence Algebra? This is a question that any teacher or student of mathematics or computer science can engage with. Sequences are in Calculus, Combinatorics, Statistics and Computation. They are foundational, a step up from number…
Given a closed subvariety X in a projective space, the rank with respect to X of a point p in this projective space is the least integer r such that p lies in the linear span of some r points of X. Let W_k be the closure of the set of…
We define combinatorial counterparts to the geometric string vertices of Sen-Zwiebach and Costello-Zwiebach, which are certain closed subsets of the moduli spaces of curves. Our combinatorial vertices contain the same information as the…
We give a description of the value of a finitary localizing invariant, such as algebraic $K$-theory, on the category of sheaves on a locally coherent space $X$. This in particular includes all spaces that arise as spectra of commutative…
Let $M$ be a complex manifold. We prove that a compact submanifold $S\subset M$ with splitting tangent sequence (called a splitting submanifold) is rational homogeneous when $M$ is in a large class of rational homogeneous spaces of Picard…
In this paper we characterize the sectional category of subgroup inclusions and the $r^{th}$-sequential topological complexity of aspherical spaces of a group G in terms of the A-genus in the sense of Clapp-Puppe and Bartsch for a suitable…
This paper provides a short introduction to the notion of regular category and its use in categorical algebra. We first prove some of its basic properties, and consider some fundamental algebraic examples. We then analyse the algebraic…
A grammar logic refers to an extension to the multi-modal logic K in which the modal axioms are generated from a formal grammar. We consider a proof theory, in nested sequent calculus, of grammar logics with converse, i.e., every modal…
Piecewise testable languages are a subclass of the regular languages. There are many equivalent ways of defining them; Simon's congruence $\sim_k$ is one of the most classical approaches. Two words are $\sim_k$-equivalent if they have the…
This paper gives a broad account of the various sequent-based proof formalisms in the proof-theoretic literature. We consider formalisms for various modal and tense logics, intuitionistic logic, conditional logics, and bunched logics. After…
This work was intended as an attempt to investigate a model of irreversible process and natural phenomena. For this, we introduce the notion of irreversible path (that for brevity we write ir-path), ir-homotopy, ir-contractible space, and…
Let W be an affine variety equipped with an action of a reductive group G. The invariant Hilbert scheme is a moduli space which classifies the G-stable closed subschemes of W such that the affine algebra is the direct sum of simple…
