Using the notion of tame regular $d$-path of the topological $n$-cube, we introduce the tame regular realization of a precubical set as a multipointed $d$-space. Its execution paths correspond to the nonconstant tame regular $d$-paths in…

This article explains and extends semialgebraic homotopy theory (developed by H. Delfs and M. Knebusch) to o-minimal homotopy theory (over a field). The homotopy category of definable CW-complexes is equivalent to the homotopy category of…

The Mayer-Vietoris theorem is known for its wide applications, especially in determining homology. In fact, this theorem provides us with a long exact sequence, where the underlying homology groups fit in. However, this theorem does not…

Locally convex curves in the sphere $S^n$ have been studied for several reasons, including the study of linear ordinary differential equations. Taking Frenet frames obtains corresponding curves $\Gamma$ in the group $Spin_{n+1}$; $\Pi:…

We construct a functor associating a cubical set to a (simple) graph. We show that cubical sets arising in this way are Kan complexes, and that the A-groups of a graph coincide with the homotopy groups of the associated Kan complex. We use…

We describe various path homology theories constructed for a directed hypergraph. We introduce the category of directed hypergraphs and the notion of a homotopy in this category. Also, we investigate the functoriality and the homotopy…

Accurate delineation of fine-scale structures is a very important yet challenging problem. Existing methods use topological information as an additional training loss, but are ultimately making pixel-wise predictions. In this paper, we…

A particular family of Discrete Time Quantum Walks (DTQWs) simulating fermion propagation in $2$D curved space-time is revisited. Usual continuous covariant derivatives and spin-connections are generalized into discrete covariant…

The singular cubical homology theory for the category of quivers or digraphs can be constructed similarly to the classical singular homology theory for topological spaces. The case of digraphs and quivers differs from the topological case…

We introduce the notion of a template for discrete Morse theory. Templates provide a memory efficient approach to the computation of homological invariants (e.g., homology, persistent homology, Conley complexes) of cell complexes. We…

A finite connected CW complex which is a co-H-space is shown to have the homotopy type of a wedge of a bunch of circles and a simply-connected finite complex after almost $p$-completion at a prime $p$.

Suppose that f:V->W is an embedding of closed oriented manifolds whose normal bundle has the structure of a complex vector bundle. It is well known in both complex and symplectic geometry that one can then construct a manifold W' which is…

Computing homology and cohomology is at the heart of many recent works and a key issue for topological data analysis. Among homological objects, homology generators are useful to locate or understand holes (especially for geometric…

This is a survey about finite group actions on CW-complexes and related topics, primarily based on our joint work. The main applications are to finite $G$-CW-complexes which are homotopy equivalent to spheres. We have tried to give a fairly…

We introduce a perfect discrete Morse function on the moduli space of a polygonal linkage. The ingredients of the construction are: (1) the cell structure on the moduli space, and (2) the discrete Morse theory approach, which allows to…

A biconvex polytope is a classical and tropical convex hull of finitely many points. Given a biconvex polytope, for each vertex of it we construct a directed bigraph and a gammoid so that the collection of base polytopes of those gammoids…
