Given a locally presentable category together with a suitable functorial cylinder object, we construct model structures which are sensitive to the `direction' of the cylinder. We show that the Covariant and Contravariant model structures on…

We study and classify a class of representations (called generalized geometric representations) of a Coxeter group of finite rank. These representations can be viewed as a natural generalization of the geometric representation. The…

Let $D$ be a large category which is cocomplete. We construct a model structure (in the sense of Quillen) on the category of small functors from $D$ to simplicial sets. As an application we construct homotopy localization functors on the…

Let $\mathcal{E}(X)$ be the group of homotopy classes of self homotopy equivalences for a connected CW complex $X$. We observe two classes of maps $\mathcal{E}$-maps and co-$\mathcal{E}$-maps. They are defined as the maps $X\to Y$ that…

Coarse geometry studies metric spaces on the large scale. Our goal here is to study dynamics from a coarse point of view. To this end we introduce a coarse version of topological entropy, suitable for unbounded metric spaces, consistent…

Let $A$ be a unital simple separable exact C$^*$-algebra which is approximately divisible and of real rank zero. We prove that the set of positive elements in $A$ with a fixed non-compact Cuntz class has vanishing homotopy groups. Combined…

We construct a model structure on simplicial profinite sets such that the homotopy groups carry a natural profinite structure. This yields a rigid profinite completion functor for spaces and pro-spaces. One motivation is the \'etale…

We compute the cohomology ring of a generalised type of configuration space of points in $\mathbb{R}^r$. This configuration space is indexed by a graph. In the case the graph is complete the result is known and it is due to Arnold and…

In algebraic topology, the fundamental groupoid is a classical homotopy invariant which is defined using continuous maps from the closed interval to a topological space. In this paper, we construct a semi-coarse version of this invariant,…

We investigate geometric properties of homogeneous parabolic geometries with generalized symmetries. We show that they can be reduced to a simpler geometric structures and interpret them explicitly. For specific types of parabolic…

This paper aims to examine the version of the topological group structure in proximity and especially descriptive proximity spaces, that is, the concepts of proximal group and descriptive proximal group are introduced. In addition, the…

In this paper, we introduce a cofibrant simplicial category that we call the free homotopy coherent adjunction and characterize its n-arrows using a graphical calculus that we develop here. The hom-spaces are appropriately fibrant, indeed…

This is an introduction to the study of abstract homotopy theory by means of model categories and $(\infty,1)$-categories. The only prerequisites are very basic general topology and abstract algebra. None categorical background is needed.…

Vietoris-Rips and degree Rips complexes are represented as homotopy types by their underlying posets of simplices, and basic homotopy stability theorems are recast in these terms. These homotopy types are viewed as systems (or functors),…

We discuss the relationship between (co)homology groups and categorical diagonalization. We consider the category of chain complexes in the category of finitely generated free modules on a commutative ring. For a fixed chain complex with…

This note defines cones in homotopy probability theory and demonstrates that a cone over a space is a reasonable replacement for the space. The homotopy Gaussian distribution in one variable is revisited as a cone on the ordinary Gaussian.

In this paper we prove that various quasi-categories whose objects are $\infty$-categories in a very general sense are complete: admitting limits indexed by all simplicial sets. This result and others of a similar flavor follow from a…

Given a closed $n$-manifold, we consider the set of simple homotopy types of $n$-manifolds within its homotopy type, called its simple homotopy manifold set. We characterise it in terms of algebraic K-theory, the surgery obstruction map,…

This paper is devoted to introducing coarse structures in a very simple way, namely as an equivalence relation on the set of simple ends. As an application we show that Gromov boundary of every hyperbolic space is an example of a Higson…

This paper presents a discrete homotopy theory and a discrete homology theory for finite posets. In particular, the discrete and classical homotopy groups of finite posets are always isomorphic. Moreover, this discrete homology theory is…
