We define and study an equivariant version of Farber's topological complexity for spaces with a given compact group action. This is a special case of the equivariant sectional category of an equivariant map, also defined in this paper. The…
We develop the theory of arrangements of spheres. Consider a finite collection of codimension-$1$ subspheres in a positive-dimensional sphere. There are two posets associated with this collection: the poset of faces and the poset of…
In this paper we will study the representations of isomorphisms between bases of topological spaces. It turns out that the perfect setting for this study is that of regular open subsets of complete metric spaces, but we have achieved some…
Limit and Pseudotopological spaces are two generalizations of topological spaces which are defined by indicating what filters converge under some axioms. In this article, we introduce covering spaces and set forth some necessary conditions…
The topological complexity TC(X) is a numerical homotopy invariant of a topological space X which is motivated by robotics and is similar in spirit to the classical Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of X. Given a mechanical system with…
Classes of Banach spaces that are finitely, strongly finitely or elementary equivalent are introduced. On sets of these classes topologies are defined in such a way that sets of defined classes become compact totally disconnected…
We consider all compatible topologies of an arbitrary finite-dimensional vector space over a non-trivial valuation field whose metric completion is a locally compact space. We construct the canonical lattice isomorphism between the lattice…
In this work we provide a way to introduce a probability measure on the space of minimal fillings of finite additive metric spaces as well as an algorithm for its computation. The values of probability, got from the analytical solution,…
We define the topological multiplicity of an invertible topological system $(X,T)$ as the minimal number $k$ of real continuous functions $f_1,\cdots, f_k$ such that the functions $f_i\circ T^n$, $n\in\mathbb Z$, $1\leq i\leq k,$ span a…
We introduce a notion of complexity of diagrams (and in particular of objects and morphisms) in an arbitrary category, as well as a notion of complexity of functors between categories equipped with complexity functions. We discuss several…
In this paper we present the following two results: we give an explicit description of the space of orderings of the field Q(x) as an inverse limit of finite spaces of orderings and we provide a new, simple proof of the fact that the class…
Topological complexity for spaces was introduced by M. Farber as a minimal number of continuity domains for motion planning algorithms. It turns out that this notion can be extended to the case of not necessarily commutative C*-algebras.…
We develop a tighter implementation of basic PL topology, which keeps track of some combinatorial structure beyond PL homeomorphism type. With this technique we clarify some aspects of PL transversality and give combinatorial proofs of a…
Let $P$ be a finite poset. We will show that for any reasonable $P$-persistent object $X$ in the category of finite topological spaces, there is a $P-$ weighted graph, whose clique complex has the same $P$-persistent homology as $X$.
It is shown that the diffeomorphism type of the complement to a real space line arrangement in any dimensional affine ambient space is determined only by the number of lines and the data on multiple points.
This note initiates an investigation of packing links into a region of Euclidean space to achieve a maximal density subject to geometric constraints. The upper bounds obtained apply only to the class of homotopically essential links and…
A popular method in combinatorial optimization is to express polytopes P, which may potentially have exponentially many facets, as solutions of linear programs that use few extra variables to reduce the number of constraints down to a…
A class of topological spaces is topologically rigid if any two spaces with the same fundamental group are also homeomorphic. Topological rigidity, in addition to its intrinsic interest, has been useful for solving abstract commensurability…
We supply basic tools for the study of the topological order of a multiplet which is an eigenspace of a finite-dimensional normal operator with continuous parameters. We allow intrinsic degeneracies within the multiplet where a well-known…
Even in spaces of formal power series is required a topology in order to legitimate some operations, in particular to compute infinite summations. Many topologies can be exploited for different purposes. Combinatorists and algebraists may…
