In this note, we answer positively a question by Belegradek and Kapovitch about the relation between rational homotopy theory and a problem in Riemannian geometry which asks that total spaces of which vector bundles over compact nonnegative…

We establish a link between rational homotopy theory and the problem which vector bundles admit complete Riemannian metric of nonnegative sectional curvature. As an application, we show for a large class of simply-connected nonnegatively…

Simply-connected manifolds of positive sectional curvature $M$ are speculated to have a rigid topological structure. In particular, they are conjectured to be rationally elliptic, i.e., all but finitely many homotopy groups are conjectured…

This paper explores the relation between the structure of fibre bundles akin to those associated to a closed almost nonnegatively sectionally curved manifold and rational homotopy theory.

We survey the results on fundamental groups of open manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. We also present some open questions on this topic.

First, we examine the notion of nonrational convex polytope and nonrational fan in the context of toric geometry. We then discuss and interrelate some recent developments in the subject.

One of the interesting and important rational homotopy properties of a topological space $X$ is that of {\em formality}. In this paper we prove the non-formality property of some family homogeneous spaces.

We show that complete conformally flat manifolds of dimension n>2 with nonnegative Ricci curvature enjoy nice rigidity properties: they are either flat, or locally isometric to a product of a sphere and a line, or are globally conformally…

We construct metrics of positive Ricci curvature on some vector bundles over tori (or more generally, over nilmanifolds). This gives rise to the first examples of manifolds with positive Ricci curvature which are homotopy equivalent but not…

In this paper, we focus on some models in rational homotopy theory, Sullivan model, Quillen model, C_\infty model, and L_\infty model. We give some connections between them. As an application, we prove the Torus Rank Conjecture.

We show that an odd dimensional closed manifold with positive curvature cannot contain an incompressible real projective plane in the sense that there is no map of the projective plane into the manifold which is nontrivial on both first and…

We extend the rational homotopy theory of operads developed by B. Fresse to several types of modules over operads.

We provide a simple condition on rational cohomology for the total space of a pullback fibration over a connected sum to have the rational homotopy type of a connected sum, after looping. This takes inspiration from recent work of Jeffrey…

In this paper we introduce and study motives for rational homotopy types.

In this paper an algebraic model for unbased rational homotopy theory from the perspective of curved Lie algebras is constructed. As part of this construction a model structure for the category of pseudo-compact curved Lie algebras with…

We prove a result on equivariant deformations of flat bundles, and as a corollary, we obtain two ``splitting in a finite cover'' theorems for isometric group actions on Riemannian manifolds with infinite fundamental groups, where the…

The paper 0705.0332v1 seeks to study the effect of non-trivial spatial curvature in homogeneous and isotropic models. We note that the space considered is not homogeneous, and that the equations of motion used are inconsistent with the…

In this paper, we present finite topological type theorems for open manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature, under almost maximal local rewinding volume. Unlike previous related research, our theorems remove the constraints of sectional…

In this paper we study non-negatively curved and rationally elliptic GKM$_4$ manifolds and orbifolds. We show that their rational cohomology rings are isomorphic to the rational cohomology of certain model orbifolds. These models are…

In the context of categories equipped with a structure of nullhomotopies, we introduce the notion of homotopy torsion theory. As special cases, we recover pretorsion theories as well as torsion theories in multi-pointed categories and in…
