Let V be a closed 3-manifold. In this paper we prove that the homotopy classes of plane fields on V that contain tight contact structures are in finite number and that, if V is atoroidal, the isotopy classes of tight contact structures are…

We consider algebras defined over a complete, local and noetherian ground ring. They are gentle algebras in case the ground ring is a field. The unbounded homotopy category of complexes of projective modules is considered. Complexes with…

Let H be a connected Hopf k-algebra of finite Gel'fand-Kirillov dimension over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. The objects of study in this paper are the left or right coideal subalgebras T of H. They are shown to be…

The embedded cobordism category under study in this paper generalizes the category of conformal surfaces, introduced by G. Segal in order to formalize the concept of field theories. Our main result identifies the homotopy type of the…

In previous work we showed that the contact category algebra of a quadrangulated surface is isomorphic to the homology of a strand algebra from bordered sutured Floer theory. Being isomorphic to the homology of a differential graded…

We develop a homotopy theory of categories enriched in a monoidal model category V. In particular, we deal with homotopy weighted limits and colimits, and homotopy local presentability. The main result, which was known for…

In this paper, we introduce the category of brace triples in a braided monoidal setting and prove that it is isomorphic to the category of s-Hopf braces, which are a generalization of cocommutative Hopf braces. After that, we obtain a…

We extend the notion of a Sasakian structure from the classical setting of a cooriented contact manifold, where it is given by a compatibility between a contact form $\eta$ and a Riemannian metric $g_M$ on $M$, to the case of an arbitrary…

In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…

We introduce a notion of categorical homotopic distance between functors by adapting the notion of homotopic distance in topological spaces, recently defined by the authors to the context of small categories. Moreover, this notion…

We study the homotopy category $ K(\Inj A)$ of all injective modules over a finite dimensional algebra $A$ with discrete derived category. We give a classification of the indecomposable objects of $ K(\Inj A)$ for any radical square zero…

We classify closed, conformally flat Lorentzian manifolds of dimension $n \geq 3$ with unipotent holonomy in PO(2,n). They are all Kleinian and fall into four different geometric types according to the intersection of the image of the…

For every regular cardinal $\alpha$, we construct a cofibrantly generated Quillen model structure on a category whose objects are essentially DG categories which are stable under suspensions, cosuspensions, cones and $\alpha$-small sums.…

Curved algebras are algebras endowed with a predifferential, which is an endomorphism of degree -1 whose square is not necessarily 0. This makes the usual definition of quasi-isomorphism meaningless and therefore the homotopical study of…

Over an associative ring we consider a class $\mathbb{X}$ of left modules which is closed under set-indexed coproducts and direct summands. We investigate when the triangulated homotopy category $\mathsf{K}(\mathbb{X})$ is compactly…
