We introduce and analyze the concept of an assembly map from the original homotopy theoretic point of view. We give also interpretations in terms of surgery theory, controlled topology and index theory. The motivation is that prominent…

The object of this paper is to prove that the standard categories in which homotopy theory is done, such as topological spaces, simplicial sets, chain complexes of abelian groups, and any of the various good models for spectra, are all…

Topological spaces - such as classifying spaces, configuration spaces and spacetimes - often admit extra temporal structure. Qualitative invariants on such directed spaces often are more informative yet more difficult to calculate than…

We consider topological conditions under which a locally invertible map admits a global inverse. Our main theorem states that a local diffeomorphism $f: M \to\mathbb{R}^n$ is bijective if and only if $H_{n-1}(M)=0$ and the pre-image of…

In this article we study the homotopy theory of pre-Calabi-Yau morphisms, viewing them as Maurer-Cartan elements of an $L_{\infty}$-algebra. We give two different notions of homotopy: a notion of weak homotopy for morphisms between…

A general method for lifting weak factorization systems in a category S to model category structures on simplicial objects in S is described, analogously to the lifting of cotorsion pairs in Abelian categories to model category structures…

One proves that the category of globular CW-complexes up to dihomotopy is equivalent to the category of flows up to weak dihomotopy. This theorem generalizes the classical theorem which states that the category of CW-complexes up to…

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…

The classifying spaces of cobordisms of singular maps have two fairly different constructions. We expose a homotopy theoretical connection between them. As a corollary we show that the classifying spaces in some cases have a simple product…

We characterize simplicial localization functors among relative functors from relative categories to simplicial categories as any choice of homotopy inverse to the delocalization functor of Dwyer and the second author.

We construct symmetric monoidal categories $\LRF, \FD$ of rooted forests and Feynman graphs. These categories closely resemble finitary abelian categories, and in particular, the notion of Ringel-Hall algebra applies. The Ringel-Hall Hopf…

We prove that there is an adjunction between what we call \'etale topological categories and restriction quantal frames that leads to an adjunction with a category of complete restriction monoids. This generalizes the adjunction between…

Let F denote the homotopy fiber of a map f:K-->L of 2-reduced simplicial sets. Using as input data the strongly homotopy coalgebra structure of the chain complexes of K and L, we construct a small, explicit chain algebra, the homology of…

To a bicomplex one can associate two natural filtrations, the column and row filtrations, and then two associated spectral sequences. This can be generalized to $N$-multicomplexes. We present a family of model category structures on the…

Thomason's Homotopy Colimit Theorem has been extended to bicategories and this extension can be adapted, through the delooping principle, to a corresponding theorem for diagrams of monoidal categories. In this version, we show that the…

Every smooth manifold contains particles which propagate. These form objects and morphisms of a category equipped with a functor to the category of Abelian groups, turning this into a 0+1 topological field theory. We investigate the…

Using the symmetric monoidal closed category structure of the category of measurable spaces, in conjunction with the Giry monad which we show is a strong monad, we analyze Bayesian inference maps and their construction in relation to the…

The Lusternik-Schnirelmann category cat and topological complexity TC are related homotopy invariants. The topological complexity TC has applications to the robot motion planning problem. We calculate the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and…

We introduce the topological complexity of the work map associated to a robot system. In broad terms, this measures the complexity of any algorithm controlling, not just the motion of the configuration space of the given system, but the…

Functors involved in Fontaine equivalences decompose as extension of scalars and taking of invariants between full subcategories of modules over a topological ring equipped with semi-linear continuous action of a topological monoid. We give…
