The origin and interplay of products and dualities in algebraic (co)homology theories is ascribed to a $\times_A$-Hopf algebra structure on the relevant universal enveloping algebra. This provides a unified treatment for example of results…
The Porter's approach (G.\ J.\ Porter, \textit{Higher order Whitehead products}, Topology \textbf{3} (1965), 123--135.) is used to derive some properties of higher order Whitehead products, similar to those ones for triple products obtained…
For a finite simplicial complex K and a CW-pair (X,A), there is an associated CW-complex Z_K(X,A), known as a polyhedral product. We apply discrete Morse theory to a particular CW-structure on the n-sphere moment-angle complexes Z_K(D^{n},…
Let X be a CW complex with a continuous action of a topological group G. We show that if X is equivariantly formal for singular cohomology with coefficients in a field, then so are all symmetric products of X and in fact all its…
A cohomology class u of a topological space X is atoroidal if its pullback to the torus vanishes for every map from a torus to X. Furthermore, X is atoroidally symplectic if there is an atoroidal cohomology class $u\in H^2(X;F)$ such that…
We develop a theory of crossed products by "actions" of Hecke pairs $(G, \Gamma)$, motivated by applications in non-abelian $C^*$-duality. Our approach gives back the usual crossed product construction whenever $G / \Gamma$ is a group and…
We prove the existence of self-dual tensor products for finite-dimensional convex cones and operator systems. This is a consequence of a more general result: Every cone system, which is contained in its dual, can be enlarged to a self-dual…
Families of codes such as group codes, constacyclic and skew cyclic codes, some of which independently suggested in the literature, turn out to be special instances of the general family of crossed product codes. Hamming-metric is a main…
A countable CW complex $K$ is quasi-finite (as defined by A.Karasev) if for every finite subcomplex $M$ of $K$ there is a finite subcomplex $e(M)$ such that any map $f:A\to M$, where $A$ is closed in a separable metric space $X$ satisfying…
The dual complex of a singularity is defined, up-to homotopy, using resolutions of singularities. In many cases, for instance for isolated singularities, we identify and study a "minimal" representative of the homotopy class that is well…
For a simple algebraic group $G$ over an algebraically closed field, we study products of normal subsets. For this we mark the nodes of the Dynkin diagram of $G$. We use two types of labels, a binary marking and a labeling with non-negative…
We investigate one question regarding bicrossed products of finite groups which we believe has the potential of being approachable for other classes of algebraic objects (algebras, Hopf algebras). The problem is to classify the groups that…
A Theorem of Wang in [Wa] implies that any holomorphic parallelism on a compact complex manifold M is flat with respect to some complex Lie algebra structure whose dimension coincides with that of M. We study here rational parallelisms on…
Illumination complexes are examples of 'flat polyhedral complexes' which arise if several copies of a convex polyhedron (convex body) Q are glued together along some of their common faces (closed convex subsets of their boundaries). A…
In this paper we present the notion of smooth CW complexes given by attaching cubes on the category of diffeological spaces, and we study their smooth homotopy structures related to the homotopy extension property.
A combinatorial group-theoretic hypothesis is presented that serves as a necessary and sufficient condition for a union of connected Cockcroft two-complexes to be Cockcroft. This hypothesis has a component that can be expressed in terms of…
We construct two CW-complexes $K$ and $L$ admitting a common, but not finite common, covering, where $K$ is homeomorphic to a complex with a single 2-cell.
We prove the equivalence of two tensor products over a category of W*-algebras with normal (not necessarily unital) *-homomorphisms, defined by Guichardet and Dauns, respectively. This structure differs from the standard tensor product…
The multipullback quantization of complex projective spaces lacks the naive quantum CW-complex structure because the quantization of an embedding of the $n$-skeleton into the $(n+1)$-skeleton does not exist. To overcome this difficulty, we…
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…
