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…

Given pointed $CW$-complexes $X$ and $Y$, $\rmph(X, Y)$ denotes the set of homotopy classes of phantom maps from $X$ to $Y$ and $\rmsph(X, Y)$ denotes the subset of $\rmph(X, Y)$ consisting of homotopy classes of special phantom maps. In a…

The Dowker complex $\mathrm{D}_{R}(X,Y)$ is a simplicial complex capturing the topological interplay between two finite sets $X$ and $Y$ under some relation $R\subseteq X\times Y$. While its definition is asymmetric, the famous Dowker…

Results of Smale (1957) and Dugundji (1969) allow to compare the homotopy groups of two topological spaces $X$ and $Y$ whenever a map $f:X\to Y$ with strong connectivity conditions on the fibers is given. We apply similar techniques in…

Intersection homology is defined for simplicial, singular and PL chains and it is well known that the three versions are isomorphic for a full filtered simplicial complex. In the literature, the isomorphism, between the singular and the…

We prove the analogue of the Concordance Implies Isotopy in Codimension $\ge 3$ Theorem for link maps, together with some other its singular analogues. In the case of spherical link maps, a stronger result was independently obtained by P.…

We prove the existence of common fixed points for three selfmaps $T,f$ and $g$ defined on a metric space $(X,d)$ satisfying, $T$ is $(f,g)$-weakly contractive; and the pairs $(T,f)$ and $(T,g)$ are weakly compatible. Also, for such $T,f$…

We prove that any continuous mapping $f:E\to Y$ on a completely metrizable subspace $E$ of a perfect paracompact space $X$ can be extended to a Lebesgue class one mapping $g:X\to Y$ (i.e. for every open set $V$ in $Y$ the preimage…

We adapt a construction of Gabrielov and Vorobjov for use in the symmetric case. Gabrielov and Vorobjov had developed a means by which one may replace an arbitrary set $S$ definable in some o-minimal expansion of $\mathbb{R}$ with a compact…

We prove that every finite connected simplicial complex is homotopy equivalent to the quotient of a contractible manifold by proper actions of a virtually torsion-free group. As a corollary, we obtain that every finite connected simplicial…

We investigate the problem of describing the homotopy classes $[X,Y]$ of continuous functions between $\omega$-bounded non metrizable manifolds $X,Y$. We define a family of surfaces $X$ built with the first octant $C$ in $L^2$ ($L$ is the…

In this paper we study the relationship between the homology and homotopy of a space at infinity and at its boundary. Firstly, we prove that if a locally connected, connected, $\delta$-hyperbolic space that is acted upon geometrically by a…

We give a construction of triangulated categories as quotients of exact categories where the subclass of objects sent to zero is defined by a triple of functors. This includes the cases of homotopy and stable module categories. These…

For a balanced pair $(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{Y})$ in an abelian category, we investigate when the chain homotopy categories ${\bf K}(\mathcal{X})$ and ${\bf K}(\mathcal{Y})$ are triangulated equivalent. To this end, we realize these chain…

Let $X$ be a connected, orientable, 5-dimensional Poincar\'{e} duality complex with torsion-free $H_1(X;\mathbb{Z})$. We show that $\Sigma X$ is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of recognisable spaces and study to what extent its homotopy…

Let $(M,Q)$ be a compact, three dimensional manifold of strictly negative sectional curvature. Let $(\Sigma,P)$ be a compact, orientable surface of hyperbolic type (i.e. of genus at least two). Let $\theta:\pi_1(\Sigma,P)\to\pi_1(M,Q)$ be a…

Locally stable maps $S^3\to\mathbb{R}^4$ are classified up to homotopy through locally stable maps. The equivalence class of a map $f$ is determined by three invariants: the isotopy class $\sigma(f)$ of its framed singularity link, the…

The matching complex of a graph $G$ is a simplicial complex whose simplices are matchings in $G$. In the last few years the matching complexes of grid graphs have gained much attention among the topological combinatorists. In 2017, Braun…

We study the realization problem of finite groups as the group of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences of finite spaces. Let $G$ be a finite group. Using an infinite family of pairwise non weakly homotopic asymmetric spaces we…

We prove that every finite connected simplicial complex has the homology of the classifying space for some $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ cubical duality group. More specifically, for any finite simplicial complex $X$, we construct a locally…
