In this article we introduce the topological study of codimension-1 foliations which admit contact or symplectic structures on the leaves. A parametric existence h-principle for foliated contact structures is provided for any cooriented…

Let $R$ be any ring with identity. We show that the homotopy category of all acyclic chain complexes of pure-projective $R$-modules is a compactly generated triangulated category. We do this by constructing abelian model structures that put…

We address the problem of classification of contact Fano manifolds. It is conjectured that every such manifold is necessarily homogeneous. We prove that the Killing form, the Lie algebra grading and parts of the Lie bracket can be read from…

We introduce the o-minimal LS-category of definable sets in o-minimal expansions of ordered fields and we establish a relation with the semialgebraic and the classical one. We also study the o-minimal LS-category of definable groups. Along…

We introduce the notions of $\mathbb{K}$-framings, based $\mathbb{K}$-framings and relative $\mathbb{K}$-framings of a compact connected oriented surface $\Sigma$ for any commutative ring $\mathbb{K}$ with unit, and a map which maps a based…

We give an introduction to partially wrapped Fukaya categories of surfaces with orbifold singularities. Dissecting an orbifold surface $\mathbf S$ into polygons, certain dissections give rise to formal generators, inducing a triangulated…

It is shown that any compact K\"ahler manifold $M$ gives canonically rise to two strongly homotopy algebras, the first one being associated with the Hodge theory of the de Rham complex and the second one with the Hodge theory of the…

We study Quillen's model category structure for homotopy of simplicial objects in the context of Janelidze, Marki and Tholen's semi-abelian categories. This model structure exists as soon as the base category A is regular Mal'tsev and has…

Motivated by ideas from string theory and quantum field theory new invariants of knots and 3-dimensional manifolds have been constructed from complex algebraic structures such as Hopf algebras (Reshetikhin and Turaev), monoidal categories…

Naturally occurring diagrams in algebraic topology are commutative up to homotopy, but not on the nose. It was quickly realized that very little can be done with this information. Homotopy coherent category theory arose out of a desire to…

We introduce the homotopy surface category of a space which generalizes the 1+1-dimensional cobordism category of circles and surfaces to the situation where one introduces a background space. We explain how for a simply connected…

We construct families of differential graded algebras R and R \boxtimes R and give an algebraic formulation of the contact category of a disk through the differential graded category DGP(R) generated by some distinguished projective…

We develop a homotopy theory for additive categories endowed with endofunctors, analogous to the concept of a model structure. We use it to construct the homotopy theory of a Hovey triple (which consists of two compatible complete cotorsion…

In this paper we study cobordism categories consisting of manifolds which are endowed with geometric structure. Examples of such geometric structures include symplectic structures, flat connections on principal bundles, and complex…

In this work we relate the known results about the homotopy type of classifying spaces for smooth foliations, with the homology and cohomology of the discrete group of diffeomorphisms of a smooth compact connected oriented manifold. The…

It is shown that the category of presheaves of simplicial groupoids and the category of presheaves of 2-groupoids have Quillen closed model structures. Furthermore, their homotopy categories are equivalent to the homotopy categories of…

We give a new description of Rosenthal's generalized homotopy fixed point spaces as homotopy limits over the orbit category. This is achieved using a simple categorical model for classifying spaces with respect to families of subgroups.
