We construct a cocycle that, for a given $n$-manifold, maps pairs of asymptotically locally hyperbolic (ALH) metrics to a tractor-valued $(n-1)$-form field on the conformal infinity. This requires the metrics to be asymptotically related to…
Persistent homology (PH) is a popular tool for topological data analysis that has found applications across diverse areas of research. It provides a rigorous method to compute robust topological features in discrete experimental…
We introduce the notion of a $\theta$-almost twisted Poisson structure on manifolds, which involves incorporating a closed $1$-form $\theta$ into twisted Poisson structures under specific conditions. We provide a characterization of this…
In this paper we survey three approaches to computing the homology of a finite dimensional compact smooth closed manifold using a Morse-Bott function and discuss relationships among the three approaches. The first approach is to perturb the…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ random points in $R^d$, generated from a probability measure on a $m$-dimensional manifold $M \subset R^d$. In this paper we study the homology of $U(P,r)$ -- the union of $d$-dimensional balls of radius $r$ around…
We show that a small neighborhood of a closed symplectic submanifold in a geometrically bounded aspherical symplectic manifold has non-vanishing symplectic homology. As a consequence, we establish the existence of contractible closed…
We study the length spectrum of a model of random hyperbolic 3-manifolds introduced by Petri and Raimbault. These are compact manifolds with boundary constructed by randomly gluing truncated tetrahedra along their faces. We prove that, as…
We show that a closed weakly-monotone symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$ which has minimal Chern number greater than or equal to $n+1$ and admits a Hamiltonian toric pseudo-rotation is necessarily monotone and its quantum homology is…
It is a classical important problem of differential topology by Thom; for a homology class of a compact manifold, can we realize this by a closed submanifold with no boundary? This is true if the degree of the class is smaller or equal to…
Let Y ~ Y_d(n,p) denote the Bernoulli random d-dimensional simplicial complex. We answer a question of Linial and Meshulam from 2003, showing that the threshold for vanishing of homology H_{d-1}(Y; Z) is less than 80d log n / n. This bound…
We explore the special structure of the top-dimensional homology of any compact triangulable space $X$ of dimension $d$. Since there are no $(d+1)$-dimensional cells, the top homology equals the top cycles and is thus a free abelian group.…
We give a construction of embedded contact homology (ECH) for a contact $3$-manifold $Y$ with convex sutured boundary and a pair of Legendrians $\Lambda_+$ and $\Lambda_-$ contained in $\partial Y$ satisfying an exactness condition. The…
The article is devoted to a comparison of the \v{C}ech cohomology with the coefficients in a presheaf of Abelian groups and the topos cohomology of the sheaf generated by this presheaf for a poset with the Aleksandrov topology. The article…
In this article we define and study a stochastic process on Galoisian covers of compact manifolds. The successive positions of the process are defined recursively by picking a point uniformly in the Dirichlet domain of the previous one. We…
\v{C}ech cohomology $H^n(X)$ of a separable metrizable space $X$ is defined in terms of cohomology of its nerves (or ANR neighborhoods) $P_\beta$ whereas Steenrod-Sitnikov homology $H_n(X)$ is defined in terms of homology of compact subsets…
Let $S^n$ be the $n$-sphere with the geodesic metric and of diameter $\pi$. The intrinsic \v{C}ech complex of $S^n$ at scale $r$ is the nerve of all open balls of radius $r$ in $S^n$. In this paper, we show how to control the homotopy…
We consider the Dirichlet problem for stationary biharmonic maps $u$ from a bounded, smooth domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ ($n\ge 5$) to a compact, smooth Riemannian manifold $N\subset\mathbb R^l$ without boundary. For any smooth…
Linear upper bounds are provided for the size of the torsion homology of negatively curved manifolds of finite volume in all dimensions $d\ne 3$. This extends a classical theorem by Gromov. In dimension $3$, as opposed to the Betti numbers,…
Plateau's problem is to find a surface with minimal area spanning a given boundary. In 1960, Reifenberg and Adams developed a definition for "span" using \v{C}ech homology, and variants of this definition have been used ever sense. However,…
Consider a homogeneous Poisson point process in a compact convex set in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space which has interior points and contains the origin. The radial spanning tree is constructed by connecting each point of the Poisson point…
