We study the problem of computing the homology of the configuration spaces of a finite cell complex $X$. We proceed by viewing $X$, together with its subdivisions, as a subdivisional space--a kind of diagram object in a category of cell…

We describe a calculus of moves for modifying a framed flow category without changing the associated stable homotopy type. We use this calculus to show that if two framed flow categories give rise to the same stable homotopy type of…

In various situations in Floer theory, one extracts homological invariants from "Morse-Bott" data in which the "critical set" is a union of manifolds, and the moduli spaces of "flow lines" have evaluation maps taking values in the critical…

We propose a definition of a homology of a one-dimensional foliation defined by a non-singular Morse-Smale flow. We also show the calculation of the homology of such a foliation which is naturally associated with Seifert fibration.

Despite their popularity, to date, the application of normalizing flows on categorical data stays limited. The current practice of using dequantization to map discrete data to a continuous space is inapplicable as categorical data has no…

This paper is the third in a series that researches the Morse Theory, gradient flows, concavity and complexity on smooth compact manifolds with boundary. Employing the local analytic models from \cite{K2}, for \emph{traversally generic…

Fiedorowicz suggested that it was likely that every finite simply connected CW complex is homotopy equivalent to the classifying space of a finite semigroup. We prove that every finite wedge of simply connected Moore spaces of finitely…

The present paper mainly presents, for example, explicit classifications of compact smooth manifolds having non-empty boundaries and simple structures where the dimensions are general. Studies of this type is fundamental and important. They…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unit. We consider the homotopy theory of the category of spectral sequences of $R$-modules with the class of weak equivalences given by those morphisms inducing a quasi-isomorphism at a certain fixed page.…

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…

We develop a new method to compute the homology groups of finite topological spaces (or equivalently of finite partially ordered sets) by means of spectral sequences giving a complete and simple description of the corresponding…

In 2005 a new topological invariant defined in terms of the Brouwer degree of a determinant map, was introduced by Musso, Pejsachowicz and the first name author for counting the conjugate points along a semi-Riemannian geodesic. This…

Along with excursions into manifolds with corners, resolution towers of Thom and Whitney stratifications, I show that for a generic gradientlike vector field on a manifold with a Morse function, the stable manifolds give a CW decomposition…

We introduce Categorical Flow Maps, a flow-matching method for accelerated few-step generation of categorical data via self-distillation. Building on recent variational formulations of flow matching and the broader trend towards accelerated…

Mass spectrometry (MS) stands as a cornerstone analytical technique for molecular identification, yet de novo structure elucidation from spectra remains challenging due to the combinatorial complexity of chemical space and the inherent…

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…

We present a novel asymptotic-preserving semi-implicit finite element method for weakly compressible and incompressible flows based on compatible finite element spaces. The momentum is sought in an $H(\mathrm{div})$-conforming space,…

Despite Flow Matching and diffusion models having emerged as powerful generative paradigms for continuous variables such as images and videos, their application to high-dimensional discrete data, such as language, is still limited. In this…

This article deals with a continuous closed 1-form defined on a CW-complex. In particular, we show Lusternik-Schnirelmann type theory on continuous closed 1-forms which is related to gradient-like flows. M.Farber defined a continuous closed…

We introduce a theoretical and computational framework to use discrete Morse theory as an efficient preprocessing in order to compute zigzag persistent homology. From a zigzag filtration of complexes $(K_i)$, we introduce a zigzag Morse…
