Centers of categories capture the natural operations on their objects. Homotopy coherent centers are introduced here as an extension of this notion to categories with an associated homotopy theory. These centers can also be interpreted as…

In this short note we observe that the higher topological complexity of an iterated connected sum of real projective spaces is maximal possible. Unlike the case of regular TC, the result is accessible through easy mod 2 zero-divisor…

In quantum physics we are confronted with new entities which consist indivisible of an energy packet and a coupled wave. The complementarity principle for certain properties of these quantum objects may be their main mystery. Photons are…

New homotopy invariant finiteness conditions on modules over commutative rings are introduced, and their properties are studied systematically. A number of finiteness results for classical homological invariants like flat dimension,…

As put forward in [arXiv:1907.12339] topological quantum field theories can be projected using so-called projection defects. The projected theory and its correlation functions can be completely realized within the unprojected one. An…

One of the prime motivation for topology was Homotopy theory, which captures the general idea of a continuous transformation between two entities, which may be spaces or maps. In later decades, an algebraic formulation of topology was…

We characterize ultrafilter convergence and ultrafilter compactness in linearly ordered and generalized ordered topological spaces. In such spaces, and for every ultrafilter $D$, the notions of $D$-compactness and of $D$-pseudocompactness…

It is shown that the duals of several categories of topological flavour, like the categories of ordered sets, generalised metric spaces, probabilistic metric spaces, topological spaces, approach spaces, are quasivarieties, presenting a…

In this paper we present an equivalent statement to the Jacobian conjecture. For a polynomial map F on an affine space of dimension n, we define recursively n finite sequences of polynomials. We give an equivalent condition to the…

Ends and end cohomology are powerful invariants for the study of noncompact spaces. We present a self-contained exposition of the topological theory of ends and prove novel extensions including the existence of an exhaustion of a proper…

Higher-order quantum theory is an extension of quantum theory where one introduces transformations whose input and output are transformations, thus generalizing the notion of channels and quantum operations. The generalization then goes…

In this paper we introduce congruence spaces, which are topological spaces that are canonically attached to monoid schemes and that reflect closed topological properties. This leads to satisfactory topological characterizations of closed…

This paper considers generalizations of open mappings, closed mappings, pseudo-open mappings, and quotient mappings from topological spaces to generalized topological spaces. Characterizations of these classes of mappings are obtained and…

We demonstrate the existence of quasiconformal mappings on closed manifolds that cannot be decomposed as a composition of mappings with arbitrarily small conformal distortion.

We study the quasiclassical expansion associated with a complex curve. In a more specific context this is the 1/N expansion in U(N)-invariant matrix integrals. We compare two approaches, the CFT approach and the topological recursion, and…

We propose to extend ``invertibility'' to ``regularity'' for categories in general abstract algebraic manner. Higher regularity conditions and ``semicommutative'' diagrams are introduced. Distinction between commutative and…

Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…

This paper treats the variation of sets. We attempt to formulate convergence and continuity of set-valued functions in a different way from the theories on sequences of sets and correspondence. In the final section, we also attempt to…

This paper considers how many conjugacy classes of reflections a map can have, under various transitivity conditions. It is shown that for vertex- and for face-transitive maps there is no restriction on their number or size, whereas…
