We consider three notions of connectivity and their interactions in partially ordered sets coming from reduced factorizations of an element in a generated group. While one form of connectivity essentially reflects the connectivity of the…
Diffeology extends differential geometry to spaces beyond smooth manifolds. This paper explores diffeology's key features and illustrates its utility with examples including singular and quotient spaces, and applications in symplectic…
Using deformations of foliations to contact structures as well as rigidity properties of Anosov foliations we provide infinite families of examples which show that the space of taut foliations in a given homotopy class of plane fields is in…
In this partly expository paper we discuss conditions for the global injectivity of $C^2$ semi-algebraic local diffeomorphisms $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$. In case $n > 2$, we consider the foliations of $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by the…
We consider local invariants of general connections (with torsion). The group of origin-preserving diffeomorphisms acts on a space of jets of general connections. Dimensions of moduli spaces of generic connections are calculated. Poincar\'e…
The classifying space for the framed Haefliger structures of codimension $q$ and class $C^r$ is $(2q-1)$-connected, for $1\le r\le\infty$. The corollaries deal with the existence of foliations, with the homology and the perfectness of the…
In this paper, we consider the locally convex spaces of entire functions with growth given by proximate orders, and study the representation as a differential operator of a continuous homomorphism from such a space to another one. As a…
We describe Galois connections which arise between two kinds of combinatorial structures, both of which generalize trees with labelled leaves, and then apply those connections to a family of polytopes. The graphs we study can be imbued with…
This thesis is concerned with equidistant foliations of Euclidean space, i.e. partitions into complete, connected, properly embedded smooth submanifolds. The space of leaves is an Alexandrov space of nonnegative curvature and the canonical…
Perhaps, it is not too far from the truth to say that, among the great concepts (as compactness, completeness, order, convexity) on which functional analysis is based, connectedness is relatively less popular, though this does not mean that…
This paper studies ways to represent an ordered topological vector space as a space of continuous functions, extending the classical representation theorems of Kadison and Schaefer. Particular emphasis is put on the class of semisimple…
This work explores the space of foliations on projective spaces over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic, with a particular focus on the codimension one case. It describes how the irreducible components of these spaces…
We obtain multirelative connectivity statements about spaces of smooth embeddings, deducing these from analogous results about spaces of Poincare embeddings that were established in our previous paper.
In this informal expository note, we quickly introduce and survey compactifications of strata of holomorphic 1-forms on Riemann surfaces, i.e. spaces of translation surfaces. In the last decade, several of these have been constructed,…
In recent work, the authors developed a simple method of constructing topological spaces from certain well-behaved partially ordered sets -- those coming from sequences of relations between finite sets. This method associates a given poset…
We survey the interactions between foliations and contact structures in dimension three, with an emphasis on sutured manifolds and invariants of sutured contact manifolds. This paper contains two original results: the fact that a closed…
This paper contains two results on how homotopy limits of topological spaces interact with connectivity. The first is a formula for the connectivity of the homotopy limit of diagrams shaped over suitably finite categories, in terms of the…
The analogy between 1+3 splittings of the spacetime tangent bundle and the splitting of the tangent bundle to the bundle of linear frames into vertical and horizontal sub-bundles is described from the unifying standpoint of the geometry of…
Finite topological spaces became much more essential in topology, with the development of computer science. The task of this paper is to study and investigate some properties of such spaces with the existence of an ordered relation between…
This article is devoted to the geometric construction which states a natural correspondence between topological coverings of a foliated manifolds and noncommutative coverings of the operator algebras. However this correspondence is not one…
