The topological classification of gapped band structures depends on the particular definition of topological equivalence. For translation-invariant systems, stable equivalence is defined by a lack of restrictions on the numbers of occupied…
An elementary notion of homotopy can be introduced between arrows in a cartesian closed category $E$. The input is a finite-product-preserving endofunctor $\Pi_0$ with a natural transformation $p$ from the identity which is surjective on…
We prove a recognition principle for motivic infinite P1-loop spaces over a perfect field. This is achieved by developing a theory of framed motivic spaces, which is a motivic analogue of the theory of E-infinity-spaces. A framed motivic…
Let $D$ be a large category which is cocomplete. We construct a model structure (in the sense of Quillen) on the category of small functors from $D$ to simplicial sets. As an application we construct homotopy localization functors on the…
A C-symplectic structure is a complex-valued 2-form which is holomorphically symplectic for an appropriate complex structure. We prove an analogue of Moser's isotopy theorem for families of C-symplectic structures and list several…
This work serves as an opening and basis of an ongoing program investigating topological and geometric aspects of the moduli space of smooth fiberings on a manifold. The present paper focuses on the algebraic and differential topology of…
In this paper we identify conditions under which the cohomology $H^*(\Omega M\xi;\k)$ for the loop space $\Omega M\xi$ of the Thom space $M\xi$ of a spherical fibration $\xi\downarrow B$ can be a polynomial ring. We use the Eilenberg-Moore…
Consider the space of continuous functions on a geometric tree $X$ whose persistent homology gives rise to a finite generic barcode $D$. We show that there are exactly as many path connected components in this space as there are merge trees…
We begin a study of the representation theory of quantum continuous $\mathfrak{gl}_\infty$, which we denote by $\mathcal E$. This algebra depends on two parameters and is a deformed version of the enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of…
We define A-infinity-bimodules similarly to Tradler and show that this notion is equivalent to an A-infinity-functor with two arguments which takes values in the differential graded category of complexes of k-modules, where k is a ground…
We show that the space of chains of smooth maps from spheres into a fixed compact oriented manifold has a natural structure of a transversal $d$-algebra. We construct a structure of transversal 1-category on the space of chains of maps from…
Infinite loop space theory, both additive and multiplicative, arose largely from two basic motivations. One was to solve calculational questions in geometric topology. The other was to better understand algebraic K-theory. The Adams…
We use topological quantum field theory to derive an invariant of a three-manifold with boundary. We then show how to use this invariant as an obstruction to embedding one three-manifold in another.
In this paper we develop the basic homotopy theory of G-symmetric spectra (that is, symmetric spectra with a G-action) for a finite group G, as a model for equivariant stable homotopy with respect to a G-set universe. This model lies in…
We characterize $A_\infty$-structures that are transfers over a chain homotopy equivalence or a quasi-isomorphism, answering a question posed by D. Sullivan. Along the way, we present an obstruction theory for weak $A_\infty$-morphisms over…
Is a given map between compact topological manifolds homotopic to the projection map of a fiber bundle? In this paper obstructions to this question are introduced with values in higher algebraic K-theory. Their vanishing implies that the…
K-Theory for hermitian symmetric spaces of non-compact type, as developed recently by the authors, allows to put Cartan's classification into a homological perspective. We apply this method to the case of inductive limits of finite…
Given a locally presentable category together with a suitable functorial cylinder object, we construct model structures which are sensitive to the `direction' of the cylinder. We show that the Covariant and Contravariant model structures on…
We study the inverse problem for persistent homology: For a fixed simplicial complex $K$, we analyse the fiber of the continuous map $\mathrm{PH}$ on the space of filters that assigns to a filter $f: K \to \mathbb R$ the total barcode of…
In this paper, we study an extension of the CPE conjecture to manifolds $M$ which support a structure relating curvature to the geometry of a smooth map $\varphi : M \to N$. The resulting system, denoted by $(\varphi-\mathrm{CPE})$, is…
