We give combinatorial models for the homotopy type of complements of elliptic arrangements (i.e., certain sets of abelian subvarieties in a product of elliptic curves). We give a presentation of the fundamental group of such spaces and, as…

Let $S$ be a complete flat surface, such as the Euclidean plane. We determine the homeomorphism class of the space of all curves on $S$ which start and end at given points in given directions and whose curvatures are constrained to lie in a…

We classify homotopes of classical symmetric spaces (studied in Part I of this work). Our classification uses the fibered structure of homotopes: they are fibered as symmetric spaces, with flat fibers, over a non-degenerate base; the base…

The aim of this paper is to show that the most elementary homotopy theory of $\mathbf{G}$-spaces is equivalent to a homotopy theory of simplicial sets over $\mathbf{BG}$, where $\mathbf{G}$ is a fixed group. Both homotopy theories are…

In this article we compare the set of integer points in the homothetic copy $n\Pi$ of a lattice polytope $\Pi\subseteq\R^d$ with the set of all sums $x_1+\cdots+x_n$ with $x_1,...,x_n\in \Pi\cap\Z^d$ and $n\in\N$. We give conditions on the…

In the present paper we study bundles equipped with extra homotopy conditions, in particular so-called simplicial $n$-bundles. It is shown that (under some condition) the classifying space of 1-bundles is the double coset space of some…

We describe the homotopy types of Vietoris-Rips complexes of hypercube graphs at small scale parameters. In more detail, let $Q_n$ be the vertex set of the hypercube graph with $2^n$ vertices, equipped with the shortest path metric.…

Nested set complexes appear as the combinatorial core of De Concini-Procesi arrangement models. We show that nested set complexes are homotopy equivalent to the order complexes of the underlying meet-semilattices without their minimal…

Using the idea of the degree of a smooth mapping between two manifolds of the same dimension we present here the topological (homotopical) classification of the mappings between spheres of the same dimension, vector fields, monopole and…

We introduce the notion of an accessible $\infty$-cosmos and prove that these include the basic examples of $\infty$-cosmoi and are stable under the main constructions. A consequence is that the vast majority of known examples of…

This article proposes an algorithm that constructs a Sullivan minimal model for any simply connected simplicial set with effective homology and thereby allows one to decide algorithmically whether two simply connected spaces represented by…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and let $\xi,\nu$ be complex vector bundles over the classifying space $BG$. The problem we consider is whether $\xi$ contains a subbundle which is isomorphic to $\nu$. The necessary condition is…

The paper establishes an equivalence between directed homotopy categories of (diagrams of) cubical sets and (diagrams of) directed topological spaces. This equivalence both lifts and extends an equivalence between classical homotopy…

By introducing various topologies on the homotopy groups of a topological space, some researchers make these well known notions in algebraic topology more useful and powerful. In this paper, first we recall and review some known topologies…

Digital topology is part of the ongoing endeavour to understand and analyze digitized images. With a view to supporting this endeavour, many notions from algebraic topology have been introduced into the setting of digital topology. But some…

We present new stochastic geometry theorems that give bounds on the probability that $m$ random data classes all contain a point in common in their convex hulls. We apply these stochastic separation theorems to obtain bounds on the…

This short note introduces a notion of directed homotopy equivalence and of "directed" topological complexity (which elaborates on the notion that can be found in e.g. Farber's book) which have a number of desirable joint properties. In…

We survey some recent advances in the homotopy theory of classifying spaces, and homotopical group theory. We focus on the classification of p-compact groups in terms of root data over the p-adic integers, and discuss some of its…

We consider the problem of homotopy-type reconstruction of compact subsets $X\subset\R^N$ that have the Alexandrov curvature bounded above ($\leq$ $\kappa$) in the intrinsic length metric. The reconstructed spaces are in the form of…

A topos theoretic generalisation of the category of sets allows for modelling spaces which vary according to time intervals. Persistent homology, or more generally, persistence is a central tool in topological data analysis, which examines…
