We observe a new equivariant relationship between topological Hochschild homology and cohomology. We also calculate the topological Hochschild homology of the topological Hochschild cohomology of a finite prime field, which can be viewed as…

We define and develop a homotopy invariant notion for the topological complexity of a map $f:X \to Y$, denoted TC($f$), that interacts with TC($X$) and TC($Y$) in the same way cat($f$) interacts with cat($X$) and cat($Y$). Furthermore,…

Equivariant cohomology is a mathematical framework particularly well adapted to a kinematical understanding of topological gauge theories of the cohomological type. It also sheds some light on gauge fixing, a necessary field theory…

The cohomology of a tiling or a point pattern has originally been defined via the construction of the hull or the groupoid associated with the tiling or the pattern. Here we present a construction which is more direct and therefore easier…

Topological complexity is a numerical homotopy invariant that measures the instability of motion planning in a space. To study the topological complexity of non-simply connected spaces, Costa and Farber introduced a cohomology class whose…

We define the notion of complex stratification by quasifolds and show that such spaces occur as complex quotients by certain nonclosed subgroups of tori associated to convex polytopes. The spaces thus obtained provide a natural…

From a group action on a space, define a variant of the configuration space by insisting that no two points inhabit the same orbit. When the action is almost free, this "orbit configuration space" is the complement of an arrangement of…

We introduce a notion of discrete topological complexity in the setting of simplicial complexes, using only the combinatorial structure of the complex by means of the concept of contiguous simplicial maps. We study the links of this new…

We use a well known problem in discrete and computational geometry (partitions of measures by $k$-fans) as a motivation and as a point of departure to illustrate many aspects, both theoretical and computational, of the problem of…

We introduce several highness notions on degrees related to the problem of computing isomorphisms between structures, provided that isomorphisms exist. We consider variants along axes of uniformity, inclusion of negative information, and…

For a pair of spaces $X$ and $Y$ such that $Y \subseteq X$, we define the relative topological complexity of the pair $(X,Y)$ as a new variant of relative topological complexity. Intuitively, this corresponds to counting the smallest number…

We describe various strengthenings of the concept of topological transitivity. Especially when one departs from the family of invertible systems, a number of interesting properties arise. We present the architecture of implications among…

Let a compact torus $T=T^{n-1}$ act on an orientable smooth compact manifold $X=X^{2n}$ effectively, with nonempty finite set of fixed points, and suppose that stabilizers of all points are connected. If $H^{odd}(X)=0$ and the weights of…

We introduce a bivariate version of topological complexity, $\mathrm{TC}(f,g)$, associated with two continuous maps $f\colon X\to Z$ and $g\colon Y\to Z$. This invariant measures the minimal number of continuous motion planning rules…

J. Milnor introduced a specific class of codimension-$1$ submanifolds in the product of projective spaces, known as Milnor manifolds. This paper establishes precise bounds on the higher topological complexity of these manifolds and provides…

We compute the higher topological complexity of ordered configuration spaces of orientable surfaces, thus extending Cohen-Farber's description of the ordinary topological complexity of those spaces.

We consider coupling an ordinary quantum field theory with an infinite number of degrees of freedom to a topological field theory. On R^d the new theory differs from the original one by the spectrum of operators. Sometimes the local…

If there exists a set of canonical classes on a compact Hamiltonian-$T$-spaces in the sense of Goldin and Tolman, we derive some formulas for certain equivariant structure constants in terms of other equivariant structure constants and the…

Fix a finite group $G$. We seek to classify varieties with $G$-action equivariantly birational to a representation of $G$ on affine or projective space. Our focus is odd-dimensional smooth complete intersections of two quadrics, relating…

The "quantum complexity" of a unitary operator measures the difficulty of its construction from a set of elementary quantum gates. While the notion of quantum complexity was first introduced as a quantum generalization of the classical…
