The main aim of this paper to show how commutative algebra is connected to topology. We give underlying topological idea of some results on completable unimodular rows.
The aim of this paper is to study the group of isomorphism classes of torsors of finite flat group schemes of rank 2 over a commutative ring $R$. This, in particular, generalises the group of quadratic algebras (free or projective), which…
This paper introduces a notion of generalised geometric logic. Connections of generalised geometric logic with L-topological system and L-topological space are established.
This is a chapter in an upcoming book on aperiodic order. We go over different versions of tiling cohomology (\v Cech, pattern-equivariant, PV, quotient) with emphasis on the inverse limit constructions used to compute these cohomologies.…
For every finite closure space $X$ one can define a finite topological space $\operatorname{Top} X$ together with a natural projection $\operatorname{Top} X\longrightarrow X$. This could allow to apply the techniques of topological…
In the first part of this survey we give a modernised exposition of the structure of the special unitary bordism ring, by combining the classical geometric methods of Conner-Floyd, Wall and Stong with the Adams-Novikov spectral sequence and…
In this thesis we explore natural procedures through which topological structure can be constructed from specific semigroups. We will do this in two ways: 1) we equip the semigroup object itself with a topological structure, and 2) we find…
The fundamental bigroupoid of a topological space is one way of capturing its homotopy 2-type. When the space is semilocally 2-connected, one can lift the construction to a bigroupoid internal to the category of topological spaces, as Brown…
In this note, we give some new families of two-stage spaces for which the torus rank conjecture is affirmed.
This sequel to our previous paper [MS11b] continues the study of topological contact dynamics and applications to contact dynamics and topological dynamics. We provide further evidence that the topological automorphism groups of a contact…
From a group action on a space, define a variant of the configuration space by insisting that no two points inhabit the same orbit. When the action is almost free, this "orbit configuration space" is the complement of an arrangement of…
A toric arrangement is a finite collection of codimension-$1$ subtori in a torus. These subtori stratify the ambient torus into faces of various dimensions. Let $f_i$ denote the number of $i$-dimensional faces; these so-called face numbers…
We discuss log flat topology and log flat descents of log schemes
This thesis deals with the enumerative study of combinatorial maps, and its application to the enumeration of other combinatorial objects. Combinatorial maps, or simply maps, form a rich combinatorial model. They have an intuitive and…
The lectures are devoted to a remarkable class of $3$-dimensional polytopes, which are mathematical models of the important object of quantum physics, quantum chemistry and nanotechnology -- fullerenes. The main goal is to show how results…
In the first part of the paper, we build a foundation for further work on Hamiltonian actions on symplectic orbifolds. Most importantly we prove the orbifold versions of the abelian connectedness and convexity theorems. In the second half,…
We describe classes of toric varieties of codimension 2 which are either minimally defined by 3 binomial equations over any algebraically closed field, or are set-theoretic complete intersections in exactly one positive characteristic.
This a slightly expended version of my habilitation thesis, which is an overview of my research activities during the last 4 years, written in a rather informal style.
Type-II matrices are a class of matrices used by Jones in his work on spin models. In this paper we show that type-II matrices arise naturally in connection with some interesting combinatorial and geometric structures.
We study arrangements of intervals in $\mathbb{R}^2$ for which many pairs form trapezoids. We show that any set of intervals forming many trapezoids must have underlying algebraic structure, which we characterise. This leads to some…
