In this paper, we construct invariant measures and global-in-time solutions for a fractional Schr\" odinger equation with a Moser-Trudinger type nonlinearity $$ i\partial_t u= (-\Delta)^{\alpha}u+ 2\beta u e^{\beta…

Topological complexity is a homotopy invariant that measures the minimal number of continuous rules required for motion planning in a space. In this work, we introduce persistent analogs of topological complexity and its cohomological lower…

Fix a field $k$. When $\Delta$ is a simplicial complex on $n$ vertices with Stanley-Reisner ideal $I_\Delta$, we define and study an invariant called the $\textit{type defect}$ of $\Delta$. Except when $\Delta$ is of a single simplex, the…

In this paper we settle long-standing questions regarding the combinatorial complexity of Minkowski sums of polytopes: We give a tight upper bound for the number of faces of a Minkowski sum, including a characterization of the case of…

The $s$-th higher topological complexity of a space $X$, $TC_s(X)$, can be estimated from above by homotopical methods, and from below by homological methods. We give a thorough analysis of the gap between such estimates when $X=RP^m$, the…

Let $(X,G)$, $(Y,G)$ be two $G$-systems, where $G$ is an infinite countable discrete amenable group and $X$, $Y$ are compact metric spaces. Suppose that $\mathcal{U}$ is a cover of $X$. We first introduce the conditional local topological…

We establish new lower bounds for the Tur\'an and Zarankiewicz numbers of certain apex partite hypergraphs. Given a $(d-1)$-partite $(d-1)$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$, let $\mathcal{H}(k)$ be the $d$-partite $d$-uniform hypergraph…

The paper surveys recent progress in understanding geometric, topological and combinatorial properties of large simplicial complexes, focusing mainly on ampleness, connectivity and universality. In the first part of the paper we concentrate…

We introduce a new link invariant called the algebraic genus, which gives an upper bound for the topological slice genus of links. In fact, the algebraic genus is an upper bound for another version of the slice genus proposed here: the…

The higher characteristics w_m(G) for a finite abstract simplicial complex G are topological invariants that satisfy k-point Green function identities and can be computed in terms of Euler characteristic in the case of closed manifolds,…

This survey/expository article covers a variety of topics related to the "topology at infinity" of noncompact manifolds and complexes. In manifold topology and geometric group theory, the most important noncompact spaces are often…

We give a new proof of the recent K\"unneth theorem for periodic topological cyclic homology (TP) of smooth and proper dg categories over perfect fields of characteristic p>0 due to Blumberg and Mandell. Our result is slightly stronger and…

We define new higher-order Alexander modules $\mathcal{A}_n(C)$ and higher-order degrees $\delta_n(C)$ which are invariants of the algebraic planar curve $C$. These come from analyzing the module structure of the homology of certain…

In this paper, we propose a new type of bulk-boundary correspondence as a generic approach to theoretically and experimentally detect fragile topological states. When the fragile phase can be written as a difference of a trivial atomic…

We define unbounded twisted complexes and bicomplexes generalising the notion of a (bounded) twisted complex over a DG category [BK90]. These need to be considered relative to another DG category $B$ admitting countable direct sums and…

An example is given of a UFD which has infinitely generated Derksen invariant. The ring is \textquotedblleft almost rigid\textquotedblright\ meaning that the Derksen invariant is equal to the Makar-Limanov invariant. Techniques to show that…
