Given a fixed object $A$ in a suitable pointed simplicial model category $\C$, we study the problem of recovering the target $Y$ from the pointed mapping space \w{\mapa(A,Y)} (up to $A$-equivalence). We describe a recognition principle,…

Ordinary maps satisfy topological recursion for a certain spectral curve $(x, y)$. We solve a conjecture from arXiv:1710.07851 that claims that fully simple maps, which are maps with non self-intersecting disjoint boundaries, satisfy…

Given a simplicial pair $(X,A)$, a simplicial complex $Y$, and a map $f:A \to Y$, does $f$ have an extension to $X$? We show that for a fixed $Y$, this question is algorithmically decidable for all $X$, $A$, and $f$ if $Y$ has the rational…

Given two real algebraic varieties X and Y, we denote by R(X,Y) the set of all regular maps from X to Y. The set R(X,Y) is regarded as a topological subspace of the space C(X,Y) of all continuous maps from X to Y endowed with the…

For a topologically complete space $X$ and a family of closed covers $\mathcal A$ of $X$ satisfying a "local refinement condition" and a "completeness condition," we give a construction of an inverse system $\mathbf{ N}_{\mathcal A}$ of…

Using the theory of resolving classes, we show that if $X$ is a CW complex of finite type such that $\map_*(X, S^{2n+1})\sim *$ for all sufficiently large $n$, then $\map_*(X, K) \sim *$ for every simply-connected finite-dimensional CW…

Let X and Y be curves over a finite field. In this article we explore methods to determine whether there is a rational map from Y to X by considering L-functions of certain covers of X and Y and propose a specific family of covers to…

Given topological spaces X and Y, a fundamental problem of algebraic topology is understanding the structure of all continuous maps X -> Y . We consider a computational version, where X, Y are given as finite simplicial complexes, and the…

Given a finite simplicial complex $\mathcal{K}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a real algebraic variety $Y,$ by a $\mathcal{K}$-regular map $|\mathcal{K}|\rightarrow Y$ we mean a continuous map whose restriction to every simplex in $\mathcal{K}$ is…

We study the reciprocal complement $\mathcal{R}(D)$ of a two-dimensional finitely generated $K$-algebra $D$ by linking it with the properties of a surface with coordinate ring $D$. We give several sufficient criteria to have…

Let F_*(X, Y) be the space of base-point-preserving maps from a connected finite CW complex X to a connected space Y. Consider a CW complex of the form X cup_{alpha}e^{k+1} and a space Y whose connectivity exceeds the dimension of the…

In a previous work, by extending the classical Quillen construction to the non-simply connected case, we have built a pair of adjoint functors, 'model' and 'realization', between the categories of simplicial sets and complete differential…

We classify rational solutions of a specific type of the set theoretical version of the pentagon equation. That is, we find all quadrirational maps $R:(x,y)\mapsto (u(x,y),v(x,y)),$ where $u, v$ are two rational functions on two arguments,…

Let X and Y be finite nilpotent CW complexes with dimension of X less than the connectivity of Y. Generalizing results of Vigu\'e-Poirrier and Yamaguchi, we prove that the mapping space Map(X,Y) is rationally formal if and only if Y has the…

The deck of a topological space $X$ is the set $\mathcal{D}(X)=\{[X \setminus \{x\}] \colon x \in X\}$, where $[Z]$ denotes the homeomorphism class of $Z$. A space $X$ is topologically reconstructible if whenever…

We study minimal harmonic maps $g: {\mathbb{C}} \to SO(3) \backslash SL(3,{\mathbb{R}})$, parameterized by polynomial cubic differentials $P$ in the plane. The asymptotic structure of such a $g$ is determined by a convex polygon $Y(P)$ in…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be finite complexes. When $Y$ is a nilpotent space, it has a rationalization $Y \to Y_{(0)}$ which is well-understood. Early on it was found that the induced map $[X,Y] \to [X,Y_{(0)}]$ on sets of mapping classes is…

Using the notion of contiguity of simplicial maps, we adapt Farber's topological complexity to the realm of simplicial complexes. We show that, for a finite simplicial complex $K$, our discretized concept recovers the topological complexity…

It is well-known that a paracompact space $X$ is of covering dimension at most $n$ if and only if any map $f\colon X\to K$ from $X$ to a simplicial complex $K$ can be pushed into its $n$-skeleton $K^{(n)}$. We use the same idea to…

We define an (r,s)-coloring of an abstract simplicial complex to be a coloring using r colors of the vertices so that in any simplex at most s vertices have the same color. We translate the problem of finding an (r,s)-coloring of a given…
