Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by \[ I(\mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y), \] and set $M(X) =…

We study the problem of computing the homology of the configuration spaces of a finite cell complex $X$. We proceed by viewing $X$, together with its subdivisions, as a subdivisional space--a kind of diagram object in a category of cell…
Let $X$ be a (topological) space and $Cl(X)$ the collection of nonempty closed subsets of $X$. Given a topology on $Cl(X)$, making $Cl(X)$ a space, a (subset) hyperspace of $X$ is a subspace $\mathcal{J}\subset Cl(X)$ with an embedding…
For a probability measure space $(X,\mathscr{A},\mu)$, we define a pseudometric $\delta$ on the ring $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathscr{A})$ of real-valued measurable functions on $X$ as $\delta(f,g)=\mu(X\setminus Z(f-g))$ and denote the topological…
We compute the rational homology of the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}$ of objects in the derived category of certain smooth complex projective varieties $X$ including toric varieties, flag varieties, curves, surfaces, and some 3- and 4-folds.…
We define a relative version of tiling cohomology for the purpose of comparing the topology of tiling spaces when one is a factor of the other. We illustrate this with examples, and outline a method for computing the cohomology of tiling…
We introduce a spherical variant of Milnor's classifying construction for diffeological groups, based on quadratic normalization of barycentric coordinates. This construction gives rise to a contractible diffeological space endowed with…
The set $M$ of $d\times d$ Hermitian matrices (observables) is studied as a partially ordered set with the L\"{o}wner partial order. Upper and lower sets in it, define the concept of cumulativeness (used mainly with scalar quantities) in…
An S-approximation space is a novel approach to study systems with uncertainty that are not expressible in terms of inclusion relations. In this work, we further examined these spaces, mostly from a topological point of view by a…

In this paper after proving (in Section 2) the Berkovich analytic space analog of the familiar fact that there exist many non-isomorphic Riemann surfaces of the fixed topological type, I introduce the precise notion of Arithmetic…
In this paper we carry the construction of equilogical spaces into an arbitrary category $\mathsf{X}$ topological over $\mathsf{Set}$, introducing the category $\mathsf{X}$-$\mathsf{Equ}$ of equilogical objects. Similar to what is done for…
In this paper we introduce a new kind of topological space, called 'structured space', which locally resembles various kinds of algebraic structures. This can be useful, for instance, to locally study a space that cannot be globally endowed…
We construct a topological space to study contextuality in quantum mechanics. The resulting space is a classifying space in the sense of algebraic topology. Cohomological invariants of our space correspond to physical quantities relevant to…
We develop a method that we call \emph{omission of intervals}, for establishing topological properties of subsets of the real line based on their combinatorial structure. Using this method, we obtain conceptual proofs of the fundamental…
A topological group is constructed which is homotopy equivalent to the pointed loop space of a path-connected Riemannian manifold $M$ and which is given in terms of "composable small geodesics" on $M$. This model is analogous to J. Milnor's…
The notions of compactness and Hausdorff separation for generalized enriched categories allow us, as classically done for the category $\mathsf{Top}$ of topological spaces and continuous functions, to study $\textit{compactly generated…
A test space is the set of outcome-sets associated with a collection of experiments. This notion provides a simple mathematical framework for the study of probabilistic theories -- notably, quantum mechanics -- in which one is faced with…
A subunit in a monoidal category is a subobject of the monoidal unit for which a canonical morphism is invertible. They correspond to open subsets of a base topological space in categories such as those of sheaves or Hilbert modules. We…
