A smooth curve $\gamma: [0,1] \to \Ss^2$ is locally convex if its geodesic curvature is positive at every point. J. A. Little showed that the space of all locally convex curves $\gamma$ with $\gamma(0) = \gamma(1) = e_1$ and $\gamma'(0) =…

We prove that the group of homotopy classes of relative homotopy automorphisms of a simply connected finite CW-complex is finitely presented and that the rationalization map from this group to its rational analogue has a finite kernel.

A continuum $X$ is a dendrite if it is locally connected and contains no simple closed curve, a self mapping $f$ of $X$ is called monotone if the preimage of any connected subset of $X$ is connected. If $X$ is a dendrite and $f:X\to X$ is a…

We employ projective Fra\"iss\'e theory to define the "generic combinatorial $n$-simplex" as the pro-finite, simplicial complex that is canonically associated with a family of simply defined selection maps between finite triangulations of…

The category of differential graded operads is a cofibrantly generated model category and as such inherits simplicial mapping spaces. The vertices of an operad mapping space are just operad morphisms. The 1-simplices represent homotopies…

By careful analysis of the comparison map from a simplicial set to its image under Kan's ex-infinity functor we obtain a new and combinatorial proof that it is a weak homotopy equivalence. Moreover, we obtain a presentation of it as a…

We obtain sharp rotation bounds for homeomorphisms $f:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ whose distortion is in $L^p_{loc}$, $p\geq1$, and whose inverse have controlled modulus of continuity. The motivation to study this class of maps comes from…

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…

In this paper we address the classification problem for locally compact (n-1)-connected CW-complexes with dimension less or equal than n+2 up to proper homotopy type. We obtain complete classification theorems in terms of purely algebraic…

We show that codimension one dimensional Jacobian of the barycentric straightening map is uniformly bounded for most of the higher rank symmetric spaces. As a consequence, we prove that the locally finite simplicial volume of most $\mathbb…

We prove a boundary version of the open mapping theorem for holomorphic maps between strongly pseudoconvex domains. That is, we prove that the local image of a holomorphic map $f:D\to D'$ close to a boundary regular contact point $p\in \de…

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…

We introduce a new `geometric realization' of an (abstract) simplicial complex, inspired by probability theory. This space (and its completion) is a metric space, which has the right (weak) homotopy type, and which can be compared with the…

The singular set of a generic map $f: M\to F$ of a manifold $M$ of dimension $m\ge 2$ to an oriented surface $F$ is a closed smooth curve $\Sigma(f)$. We study the parity of the number of components of $\Sigma(f)$. The image $f(\Sigma)$ of…

Numerably contractible spaces play an important role in the theory of homotopy pushouts and pullbacks. The corresponding results imply that a number of well known weak homotopy equivalences are genuine ones if numerably contractible spaces…

This paper expands on and refines some known and less well-known results about the finite subset spaces of a simplicial complex $X$ including their connectivity and their top homology groups. It also discusses the inclusion of the…

The theory of complexes of directed trees was initiated by Kozlov to answer a question by Stanley, and later on, results from the theory were used by Babson and Kozlov in their proof of the Lovasz conjecture. We develop the theory and prove…

We show that a fairly arbitrary Frechet space topology on the space of holomorphic functions on a domain controls the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets. In fact it turns out that the result we present can be proved more simply…

An alternative formulation for the controllability problem of single input linear positive systems is presented. Driven by many industrial applications, this formulations focuses on the case where the region of interest is only a subset of…

We prove an "abelian, locally compact" Whitehead theorem in fine shape: A fine shape morphism between locally connected finite-dimensional locally compact separable metrizable spaces with trivial $\pi_0$ and $\pi_1$ is a fine shape…
