We investigate one-point reduction methods of finite topological spaces. These methods allow one to study homotopy theory of cell complexes by means of elementary moves of their finite models. We also introduce the notion of h-regular…

We recall the complex structure on the generalised loop spaces $W^{k,2}(S,X)$, where $S$ is a compact real manifold with boundary and $X$ is a complex manifold, and prove a Hartogs-type extension theorem for holomorphic maps from certain…

Let $A$ be either a simplicial complex $K$ or a small category $\mathcal C$ with $V(A)$ as its set of vertices or objects. We define a twisted structure on $A$ with coefficients in a simplicial group $G$ as a function $$ \delta\colon…

We formulate a conjecture that arithmetic locally symmetric manifolds have simple homotopy type, and prove it for the non-compact case. More precisely, we show that, for any symmetric space S of non-compact type without Euclidean de Rham…

Let K be a simplicial complex with vertex set V = {v_1,..., v_n}. The complex K is d-representable if there is a collection {C_1,...,C_n} of convex sets in R^d such that a subcollection {C_{i_1},...,C_{i_j}} has a nonempty intersection if…

Sometimes, it is possible to represent a complicated polytope as a projection of a much simpler polytope. To quantify this phenomenon, the extension complexity of a polytope $P$ is defined to be the minimum number of facets of a (possibly…

We show that $v_n$-periodic homotopy groups detect homotopy equivalences between simply-connected finite CW-complexes.

We exhibit a Quillen equivalence between two model categories encoding the homotopy theory of stratified spaces : the model category of filtered simplicial sets, and that of filtered spaces. Additionally, we introduce a new class of…

For any positive integer $n$, Lov\'{a}sz-Schrijver, Taniyama and Skopenkov provided examples of simplicial $n$-complexes that inevitably contain a nonsplittable two-component link of $n$-spheres, no matter how they are embedded into the…

We say that a pure $d$-dimensional simplicial complex $\Delta$ on $n$ vertices is \emph{shelling completable} if $\Delta$ can be realized as the initial sequence of some shelling of $\Delta_{n-1}^{(d)}$, the $d$-skeleton of the…

Recently, Ben Green proved that the two-color van der Waerden number $w(3,k)$ is bounded from below by $k^{b_0(k)}$ where $b_0(k) = c_0\left(\frac{\log k }{\log \log k}\right)^{1/3}$. We prove a new lower bound of $k^{b(k)}$ with $b(k) =…

In this paper, we develop and study the theory of weighted fundamental groups of weighted simplicial complexes. When all weights are 1, the weighted fundamental group reduces to the usual fundamental group as a special case. We also study…

The D2 problem of C. T. C. Wall asks whether every finite cohomologically 2-dimensional CW-complex is homotopy equivalent to a finite 2-complex. Several potential counterexamples have been proposed, the longest standing of which is a…

We study the problem of recognizing whether a given abstract simplicial complex $K$ is the $k$-skeleton of the nerve of $j$-dimensional convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We denote this problem by $R(k,j,d)$. As a main contribution, we unify…

We prove a conjecture of Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen and Gitler: if K is a shifted simplicial complex on n vertices, X_1,..., X_n are spaces and CX_i is the cone on X_i, then the polyhedral product determined by K and the pairs (CX_i,X_i) is…

Simple modules for the restricted Witt superalgebra $W(m,n,1)$ are considered. Conditions are provided for the restricted and nonrestricted Kac modules to be simple.

In this paper, we study the counterpart of Grothendieck's projectivization construction in the context of derived algebraic geometry. Our main results are as follows: First, we define the derived projectivization of a connective complex,…

The limit cycle of the van der Pol oscillator, $\ddot{x}+ \epsilon (x^2-1) \dot{x} + x =0$, is studied in the plane $(x,\dot{x})$ by applying the homotopy analysis method. A recursive set of formulas that approximate the amplitude and form…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group of order $n$ and let $\Delta_{n-1}$ denote the $(n-1)$-simplex on the vertex set $G$. The sum complex $X_{A,k}$ associated to a subset $A \subset G$ and $k < n$, is the $k$-dimensional simplicial complex…
