In this note we present a combinatorial link invariant that underlies some recent stable homotopy refinements of Khovanov homology of links. The invariant takes the form of a functor between two combinatorial 2-categories, modulo a notion…
We study symmetries in equivariant versions of Khovanov homology, which include (i) the construction of an involution $\widehat{\sigma}$ for the $U(2)$-equivariant theory, (ii) an integral lifting $\widehat{\nu}$ of the Shumakovitch…
Homotopy is an important feature of associative and Jordan algebraic structures: such structures always come in families whose members need not be isomorphic among other, but still share many important properties. One may regard homotopy as…
We develop an axiomatic framework for persistent homology in any degree. We prove the existence and uniqueness for both a persistent version of the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms for classical homology and a reduced version of this set of…
A ringed finite space is a ringed space whose underlying topological space is finite. The category of ringed finite spaces contains, fully faithfully, the category of finite topological spaces and the category of affine schemes. Any ringed…
We survey recent work on moduli spaces of manifolds with an emphasis on the role played by (stable and unstable) homotopy theory. The theory is illustrated with several worked examples.
We identify Morita cohomology, which is a categorification of the cohmology of a topological space X, with the category of homotopy locally constant sheaves of perfect complexes on X.
We define a variant of Khovanov homology for links in thickened disks with multiple punctures. This theory is distinct from the one previously defined by Asaeda, Przytycki, and Sikora, but is related to it by a spectral sequence.…
This is a survey on local dynamics of holomorphic maps in one and several complex variables, discussing in particular normal forms and the structure of local stable sets in the non-hyperbolic case, and including several proofs and a vast…
In this paper we study a model structure on a category of schemes with a group action and the resulting unstable and stable equivariant motivic homotopy theories. The new model structure introduced here samples a comparison to the one by…
We will present proofs for two conjectures stated in arXiv:1808.08073. The first one is that for an arbitrary manifold $W$, the homotopy classes of proper maps $W\times\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^{k+n}$ stabilise as $n\to\infty$, and the…
We introduce the weighted path homology on the category of weigh\-ted directed hypergraphs and describe conditions of homotopy invariance of weighted path homology groups. We give several examples that explain the nontriviality of the…
We define and study complex structures and generalizations on spaces consisting of geodesics or harmonic maps that are compatible with the symmetries of these spaces. The main results are about existence and uniqueness of such structures.
Let $R\subseteq \Bbb Q$ be a subring of the rationals and let $p$ be the least prime (if none, $p=\infty $) which is not invertible in $R.$ For an $R$-local $r$-connected $CW$-complex $X$ of dimension $\leq \min(r+2p-3,rp-1), r\geq 1, $ a…
Inspired by bordered Floer homology, we describe a type A structure on a Khovanov homology for a tangle, which complements the type D structure in a previous paper. The type A structure is a differential module over a certain algebra. This…
We study the homogeneous and time dependent dynamics of the supertube in diverse backgrounds. After deriving a general form of the Hamiltonian in general background, we use a particular gauge fixing, relevant to our analysis to derive a…
We explain how the simplicial higher-order unstable homotopy operations defined in [BBS2] may be composed and inserted one in another, thus forming a coherent if complicated algebraic structure.
In this article we introduce the space of configurations of commuting elements in a topological group and show that it satisfies rational homological stability for the sequences of unitary, special unitary and symplectic groups. We also…
Let $S$ be a complete flat surface, such as the Euclidean plane. We determine the homeomorphism class of the space of all curves on $S$ which start and end at given points in given directions and whose curvatures are constrained to lie in a…
A spectral sequence is established, whose $E_{2}$ page is Bar-Natan's variant of Khovanov homology and which abuts to a deformation of instanton homology for knots and links. This spectral sequence arises as a specialization of a spectral…
