We prove that a locally compact space with an upper curvature bound is a topological manifold if and only if all of its spaces of directions are homotopy equivalent and not contractible. We discuss applications to homology manifolds, limits…

We provide a naturally isomorphic description of the persistence map from merge trees to barcodes in terms of a monotone map from the partition lattice to the subset lattice. Our description is local, which offers the potential to speed up…

We study the homotopy types of spaces of algebraic (rational) maps from real projective spaces into complex projective spaces. In a previous paper we have shown that the inclusion of the first space into the second one is a homotopy…

We give new lower bounds for the (higher) topological complexity of a space, in terms of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a certain auxiliary space. We also give new lower bounds for the rational topological complexity of a space, and…

We study an abstract notion of tree structure which lies at the common core of various tree-like discrete structures commonly used in combinatorics: trees in graphs, order trees, nested subsets of a set, tree-decompositions of graphs and…

Organising the relevant literature and by letting statistical convergence play the main role in the theory of compactness, a variant of compactness called statistical compactness has been achieved. As in case of sequential compactness, one…

We propose a flexible and multi-scale method for organizing, visualizing, and understanding datasets sampled from or near stratified spaces. The first part of the algorithm produces a cover tree using adaptive thresholds based on a…

Given a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove that the space of embedded, which may be improper, free boundary minimal hypersurfaces with uniform area and Morse index upper bound is compact in the sense of smoothly graphical…

We consider some distinguished classes of elements of a multiplicative lattice endowed with coarse lower topologies, and call them lower spaces. The primary objective of this paper is to study the topological properties of these lower…

We construct classifying spaces for discrete and compact Lie groups, with the property that they are topological groups and complete metric spaces in a natural way. We sketch a program in view of extending these constructions.

In this paper we study natural reconfiguration spaces associated to the problem of distributing a fixed number of resources to labeled nodes of a tree network, so that no node is left empty. These spaces turn out to be cubical complexes,…

We consider simplicial sets equipped with a notion of smallness, and observe that this slight "topological" extension of the "algebraic" simplicial language allows a concise reformulation of a number of classical notions in topology, e.g.…

A classic problem in computational biology is constructing a phylogenetic tree given a set of distances between n species. In most cases, a tree structure is too constraining. We consider a circular split network, a generalization of a tree…

A convex subset X of a linear topological space is called compactly convex if there is a continuous compact-valued map $\Phi:X\to exp(X)$ such that $[x,y]\subset\Phi(x)\cup \Phi(y)$ for all $x,y\in X$. We prove that each convex subset of…

We prove that the automorphism group of a topological parallelism on real projective 3-space is compact. In a preceding article it was proved that at least the connected component of the identity is compact. The present proof does not…

Rational maps on the Riemann sphere occupy a distinguished niche in the general theory of smooth dynamical systems. First, rational maps are complex-analytic, so a broad spectrum of techniques can contribute to their study (quasiconformal…

In this paper we introduce congruence spaces, which are topological spaces that are canonically attached to monoid schemes and that reflect closed topological properties. This leads to satisfactory topological characterizations of closed…

There is a forgetful map from the mapping class group of a punctured surface to that of the surface with one fewer puncture. We prove that finitely generated purely pseudo-Anosov subgroups of the kernel of this map are convex cocompact in…

Stable fold maps are fundamental tools in a generalization of the theory of Morse functions on smooth manifolds and its application to studies of geometric properties of smooth manifolds. Round fold maps were introduced as stable fold maps…

Given a closed Riemannian manifold $(N^{n+1},g)$, $n+1 \geq 3$ we prove the compactness of the space of singular, minimal hypersurfaces in $N$ whose volumes are uniformly bounded from above and the $p$-th Jacobi eigenvalue $\lambda_p$'s are…
