In this short note, we classify linear categorified open topological field theories in dimension two by pivotal Grothendieck-Verdier categories, a type of monoidal category equipped with a weak, not necessarily rigid duality. In combination…

Convergence spaces are a generalization of topological spaces. The category of convergence spaces is well-suited for Algebraic Topology, one of the reasons is the existence of exponential objects provided by continuous convergence. In this…

We introduce and compare two approaches to equivariant homotopy theory in a topological or ordinary Quillen model category. For the topological model category of spaces, we generalize Piacenza's result that the categories of topological…

In this short work we prove that the Hilbert Grassmannians endowed with the weak topology are models for the classifying spaces of the unitary groups. As application of this result one can use Hilbert Grassmannians for the presentation of…

A procedure for constructing bivariant theories by means of Grothendieck duality is developed. This produces, in particular, a bivariant theory of Hochschild (co)homology on the category of schemes that are flat, separated and essentially…

We explore the connection between the notion of Hopf category and the categorification of the infinite dimensional Heisenberg algebra via graphical calculus proposed by M.Khovanov. We show that the existence of a Hopf structure on a…

We study the space of smooth marked hypersurfaces in a given linear system. Specifically, we prove a homology h-principle to compare it with a space of sections of an appropriate jet bundle. Using rational models, we compute its rational…

We define the Chow ring of the classifying space of a linear algebraic group. In all the examples where we can compute it, such as the symmetric groups and the orthogonal groups, it is isomorphic to a natural quotient of the complex…

We extend the formalism of Topological T-duality to spaces which are the total space of a principal $S^1$-bundle $p:E \to W$ with an $H$-flux in $H^3(E,Z)$ together the together with an automorphism of the continuous-trace algebra on $E$…

We develop a categorical and algebro-geometric treatment of localization for cohomological theories endowed with an open--closed recollement. Starting from a class on a space whose restriction to the open complement vanishes, we show that…

We prove that if two conformal embeddings between Riemann surfaces with finite topology are homotopic, then they are isotopic through conformal embeddings. Furthermore, we show that the space of all conformal embeddings in a given homotopy…

In this paper, we introduce the category of brace triples in a braided monoidal setting and prove that it is isomorphic to the category of s-Hopf braces, which are a generalization of cocommutative Hopf braces. After that, we obtain a…

Sheaves of noncommutative groups are an essential tool especially in the context of vector bundles. As known there is no real cohomology theory with values in such sheaves. This work deals with the question of under what circumstances the…

Recent developments in motivic homotopy theory, especially the construction of norm functors by Bachmann and Hoyois, rely heavily on the machinery of infinite categories. In this paper, we take a purely geometric and elementary approach via…

The purpose of this paper is to provide a very short proof of a generalized categorified version, within the motivic stable homotopy category of Morel and Voevodsky, of the integral identity for virtual motives conjectured by Kontsevich and…

Let $X$ be a simplicial set. We construct a novel adjunction between the categories of retractive spaces over $X$ and of $X_{+}$-comodules, then apply recent work on left-induced model category structures (arXiv:1401.3651v2…

Let $\MS_g$ be the moduli space of stable holomorphic vector bundles of rank 2 and fixed determinant of odd degree over a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g$. This paper proves various properties of the rational cohomology ring…

Directed Algebraic Topology is beginning to emerge from various applications. The basic structure we shall use for such a theory, a 'd-space', is a topological space equipped with a family of 'directed paths', closed under some operations.…

We prove a formula for the push-forward class of Bott-Samelson resolutions in the algebraic cobordism ring of the flag bundle. We specialise our formula to connective K-theory providing a geometric interpretation to the double…

We prove that a model structure on a relative $\infty$-category $(M,W)$ gives an efficient and computable way of accessing the hom-spaces $hom_{M[[W^{-1}]]}(x,y)$ in the localization. More precisely, we show that when the source $x \in M$…
