The topology of the embedding of the coadjoint orbits of the unitary group U(H) of an in-finite dimensional complex Hilbert space H, as canonically determined subsets of the B-space T_s of symmetric trace class operators, is investigated.…

Linear topological spaces with partial ordering (linear kinematics) are studied. They are defined by a set of 8 axioms implying that topology, linear structure and ordering are compatible with each other. Most of the results are valid for…

Shape inference is classically ill-posed, because it involves a map from the (2D) image domain to the (3D) world. Standard approaches regularize this problem by either assuming a prior on lighting and rendering or restricting the domain,…

We determine the topological complexity of unordered configuration spaces on almost all punctured surfaces (both orientable and non-orientable). We also give improved bounds for the topological complexity of unordered configuration spaces…

A Tate-Shafarevich twist $X^\phi\to B$ of a fibration $X\to B$ modifies it by a $1$-cocycle of flows of vector fields relative to the base, locally in the analytic topology. Sacc\`a conjectured that the total spaces of two projective…

In this article we first observe that the Path topology of Hawking, King and MacCarthy is an analogue, in curved spacetimes, of a topology that was suggested by Zeeman as an alternative topology to his so-called Fine topology in Minkowski…

When a group acts on a set, it naturally partitions it into orbits, giving rise to orbit problems. These are natural algorithmic problems, as symmetries are central in numerous questions and structures in physics, mathematics, computer…

In this paper, we study `a fibration of metric spaces' that was originally introduced by Leinster in the study of the magnitude and called metric fibrations. He showed that the magnitude of a metric fibration splits into the product of…

The signature of a path, introduced by K.T. Chen [5] in $1954$, has been extensively studied in recent years. The $2010$ paper [12] of Hambly and Lyons showed that the signature is injective on the space of continuous finite-variation paths…

We say that two classes of topological spaces are equivalent if each member of one class has a homeomorphic copy in the other class and vice versa. Usually when the Borel complexity of a class of metrizable compacta is considered, the class…

In computational complexity, a complexity class is given by a set of problems or functions, and a basic challenge is to show separations of complexity classes $A \not= B$ especially when $A$ is known to be a subset of $B$. In this paper we…

The topological (resp. geodesic) complexity of a topological (resp. metric) space is roughly the smallest number of continuous rules required to choose paths (resp. shortest paths) between any points of the space. We prove that the geodesic…

In this paper, we introduce relative LS category of a map and study some of its properties. Then we introduce `higher topological complexity' of a map, a homotopy invariant. We give a cohomological lower bound and compare it with previously…

We introduce a topology on the space of all isomorphism types represented in a given class of countable models, and use this topology as an aid in classifying the isomorphism types. This mixes ideas from effective descriptive set theory and…

A categorical generalization of the notion of movability from the inverse systems and shape theory was given by the first author who defined the notion of movable category and interpreted by this the movability of topological spaces. In…

A version of the tangential LS category is introduced for topological laminations with a transverse invariant measure. Here, we use the transverse measure of the contraction of a tangential categorical open set instead of counting this set.…
