In this paper, we deal with the classification complexity of continuous (Devaney) chaotic systems in dimensions $0,1$ and $\infty$ using the framework of invariant descriptive set theory. We identify the complexity in dimensions $0$ and…

This monograph offers an overview on the topological invariants in fermionic topological insulators from the complex classes. Tools from K-theory and non-commutative geometry are used to define bulk and boundary invariants, to establish the…

We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topological characterization of indecomposability which is new even in…

Many mechanical systems have configuration spaces that admit symmetries. Mathematically, such symmetries are modelled by the action of a group on a topological space. Several variations of topological complexity have emerged that take…

We investigate the notion of complexity for finitely presented groups and the related notion of complexity for three-dimensional manifolds. We give two-sided estimates on the complexity of all the Milnor groups (the finite groups with free…

This paper is a continuation of our 2005 paper on complex topology and its implication on invertibility (or non-invertibility). In this paper, we will try to classify the complexity of inversion into 3 different classes. We will use…

Let G/H be a pseudo-Riemannian semisimple symmetric space. The tangent bundle T(G/H) contains a maximal G-invariant neighbourhood of the zero section where the adapted complex structure exists. Such neighbourhood is endowed with a canonical…

We introduce a new topological invariant, which is a nonnegative integer, of compact manifolds with boundaries associated with a kind of decomposition of them. Let M and N be m-dimensional compact connected manifolds with boundaries. The…

We study numerical invariants $d\TC(\Gamma)$ and $d\cat(\Gamma)$ of groups recently introduced in \cite{DJ} and independently in \cite{KW}. We compute $d\TC$ for finite cyclic groups $\mathbb Z_p$ with prime $p$ as well as for nonorientable…

We introduce the notion of \emph{topo-symmetric extensions} of topological groups, a new generalization of classical group extensions that incorporates both topological and symmetry constraints. We define morphisms between such extensions,…

The modular data of a modular category $\mathcal{C}$, consisting of the $S$-matrix and the $T$-matrix, is known to be an incomplete invariant of $\mathcal{C}$. More generally, the invariants of framed links and knots defined by a modular…
