We review a collection of models of random simplicial complexes together with some of the most exciting phenomena related to them. We do not attempt to cover all existing models, but try to focus on those for which many important results…
By linking conceptual theories with observed data, generative models can support reasoning in complex situations. They have come to play a central role both within and beyond statistics, providing the basis for power analysis in molecular…
Generative models can be trained to emulate complex empirical data, but are they useful to make predictions in the context of previously unobserved environments? An intuitive idea to promote such extrapolation capabilities is to have the…
One can think of power series or polynomials in one variable, such as $P(x)=2x^3+x+5$, as functors from the category $\mathsf{Set}$ of sets to itself; these are known as polynomial functors. Denote by $\mathsf{Poly}_{\mathsf{Set}}$ the…
In previous work, we defined certain virtual fundamental classes for special cycles on the moduli stack of Hermitian shtukas, and related them to the higher derivatives of non-singular Fourier coefficients of Siegel-Eisenstein series. In…
A subunit in a monoidal category is a subobject of the monoidal unit for which a canonical morphism is invertible. They correspond to open subsets of a base topological space in categories such as those of sheaves or Hilbert modules. We…
For each n\geq 1 we introduce two new Segal-type models of n-types of topological spaces: weakly globular n-fold groupoids, and a lax version of these. We show that any n-type can be represented up to homotopy by such models via an explicit…
We extend Makkai duality between coherent toposes and ultracategories to a duality between toposes with enough points and ultraconvergence spaces. Our proof generalizes and simplifies Makkai's original proof. Our main result can also be…
Higher bundles are homotopy coherent generalisations of classical fibre bundles. They appear in numerous contexts in geometry, topology and physics. In particular, higher principal bundles provide the geometric framework for higher-group…
We study the central objects of symbolic dynamics, that is, subshifts and block maps, from the perspective of basic category theory, and present several natural categories with subshifts as objects and block maps as morphisms. Our main…
We show that for any finitely generated group G, group cohomology classes represented by cocycles of subexponential growth are extendable over the topological K-groups of the Lafforgue algebra associated to G.
We develop a notion of causal order on a generic manifold as independent of the underlying differential and topological structure. We show that sufficiently regular causal orders can be recovered from a distinguished algebra of sets, which…
We show that Segal spaces, and more generally category objects in an $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$, can be identified with associative algebras in the double $\infty$-category of spans in $\mathcal{C}$. We use this observation to prove…
We introduce higher dimensional analogues of simplicial constructions due to Segal and Waldhausen, respectively producing the direct sum and algebraic $K$-theory spectra of an exact category. We then investigate their fibrancy properties,…
These are some notes on the basic properties of algebraic K-theory and G-theory of derived algebraic spaces and stacks, and the theory of fundamental classes in this setting.
Profinite semigroups are a generalization of finite semigroups that come about naturally when one is interested in considering free structures with respect to classes of finite semigroups. They also appear naturally through dualization of…
We exploit the theory of $\infty$-stacks to provide some basic definitions and calculational tools regarding stratified homotopy theory of stratified topological stacks.
We extend the classical notion of a Reedy category so as to allow non-trivial automorphisms. Our extension includes many important examples occuring in topology such as Segal's category Gamma, or the total category of a crossed simplicial…
We introduce a notion of globular multicategory with homomorphism types. These structures arise when organizing collections of "higher category-like" objects such as type theories with identity types. We show how these globular…
We develop a theory of Lie algebroids over differentiable stacks that extends the standard theory of Lie algebroids over manifolds. In particular we show that Lie algebroids satisfy descent for submersions, define the category of Lie…
