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…

The author proposes a method for investigating actions of finite groups on aspherical spaces. Complete homotopy classification of free actions of finite groups on aspherical spaces is obtained. Also there are some results about non-free…

In this paper, we compute the homotopy type of the group of equivariant symplectomorphisms of $S^2 \times S^2$ and $\mathbb{C}P^2 \# \overline{\mathbb{C}P^2}$ under the presence of Hamiltonian group actions of the circle $S^1$. We prove…

We are studying a relationship between isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres with four distinct principal curvatures and the moment maps of certain Hamiltonian actions. In this paper, we consider the isoparametric hypersurfaces obtained…

The notion of a $\Gamma $-symmetric space is a generalization of the classical notion of a symmetric space, where a general finite abelian group $\Gamma $ replaces the group $Z_2$. The case $\Gamma =\Z_k$ has also been studied, from the…

We present a simple approach to questions of topological orbit equivalence for actions of countable groups on topological and smooth manifolds. For example, for any action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a topological manifold where the…

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 classify simply connected rationally elliptic manifolds of dimension five and those of dimension six with small Betti numbers from the point of view of their rational cohomology structure. We also prove that a geometrically formal…

Locally symmetric spaces like $SL(n,\mathbb Z)\backslash SL_n(\mathbb R)/SO(n)$ contain immersed compact flat manifolds of dimension equal to the real rank. We give a lower bound for the contribution of these cycles to the homology of…

$\Gamma$-structures are weak forms of multiplications on closed oriented manifolds. As shown by Hopf the rational cohomology algebras of manifolds admitting $\Gamma$-structures are free over odd degree generators. We prove that this…

We investigate in detail a homomorphism which we call the 2-Selmer signature map from the $2$-Selmer group of a number field $K$ to a nondegenerate symmetric space, in particular proving the image is a maximal totally isotropic subspace.…

The main result of this work is to present the complete list of Uq(sl2)-symmetries of quantum plane. For that, the structure of quantum plane automorphisms is used. Our idea in classifying the above symmetries is in introducing some special…

The strong homotopy Lie algebra, controlling simultaneous deformations of a morphism of associative algebras and its domain and codomain is constructed. Isomorphism of the cohomology of this strong homotopy Lie algebra with the classical…

In the paper we prove that the primitive part of the Sinha homology spectral sequence E^2-term for the space of long knots is rationally isomorphic to the homotopy E^2-term. We also define natural graph-complexes computing the rational…

Symmetries and isomorphisms play similar conceptual roles when we consider how models represent physical situations, but they are formally distinct, as two models related by symmetries are not typically isomorphic. I offer a rigorous…

We complete the classification of isometric cohomogeneity-one actions on all symmetric spaces of noncompact type up to orbit equivalence.

Equivariant quantization is a new theory that highlights the role of symmetries in the relationship between classical and quantum dynamical systems. These symmetries are also one of the reasons for the recent interest in quantization of…

Let $\overline{\mathfrak{S}}_\infty$ denote the set of all bijections of natural numbers. Consider the action of $\overline{\mathfrak{S}}_\infty$ on a measure space $\left( X,\mathfrak{M},\mu \right)$, where $\mu$ is…

We show that the $C_2$-equivariant and $\mathbb{R}$-motivic stable homotopy groups are isomorphic in a range. This result supersedes previous work of Dugger and the third author.

We develop a simple theory of Andr\'e-Quillen cohomology for commutative differential graded algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We then relate it to the homotopy groups of function spaces and spaces of homotopy self-equivalences…
