We give a new proof, using comparatively simple techniques, of the Sullivan conjecture: the space of pointed maps from the classifying space of the cyclic group of order $p$ to any finite-dimensional CW complex $K$ is contractible.

It was proven by Gonz\'alez-Meneses, Manch\'on and Silvero that the extreme Khovanov homology of a link diagram is isomorphic to the reduced (co)homology of the independence simplicial complex obtained from a bipartite circle graph…

In "A Hosse diagram for rational toral tanks," we see a CW complex ${\mathcal T}(X)$, which gives a rational homotopical classification of almost free toral actions on spaces in the rational homotopy type of $X$ associated with rational…

Results on the finiteness of induced crossed modules are proved both algebraically and topologically. Using the Van Kampen type theorem for the fundamental crossed module, applications are given to the 2-types of mapping cones of…

Let G be a finite group. We show that the rational homotopy groups of symmetric products of the G-equivariant sphere spectrum are naturally isomorphic to the rational homology groups of certain subcomplexes of the subgroup lattice of G.

Let w: Map(X,Y;f) -> Y denote a general evaluation fibration. Working in the setting of rational homotopy theory via differential graded Lie algebras, we identify the long exact sequence induced on rational homotopy groups by w in terms of…

We decide the Borel complexity of the conjugacy problem for automorphism groups of countable homogeneous digraphs. Many of the homogeneous digraphs, as well as several other homogeneous structures, have already been addressed in previous…

In this paper we consider classifying spaces of a family of $p$-groups and we prove that mod $p$ cohomology enriched with Bockstein spectral sequences determines their homotopy type among $p$-completed CW-complexes. We end with some…

We compute the collection of CW-complexes in the model category of small categories constructed by Joyal and Tierney. More generally, if $X$ is a connected topological space, we show that the homotopy category of CW-complexes in…

We compute the automorphism groups of the Torelli complex and the complex of separating curves for all but finitely many compact orientable surfaces. As an application, we show that the abstract commensurators of the Torelli group and the…

We prove several positive results regarding representation of homotopy classes of spheres and algebraic groups by regular mappings. Most importantly we show that every mapping from a sphere to an orthogonal or a unitary group is homotopic…

We describe the groups that have the same holomorph as a finite perfect group. Our results are complete for centerless groups. When the center is non-trivial, some questions remain open. The peculiarities of the general case are illustrated…

Let $G$ be a residually finite, good group of finite virtual cohomological dimension. We prove that the natural monomorphism $G\hookrightarrow\hat{G}$ induces a bijective correspondence between conjugacy classes of finite $p$-subgroups of…

In this paper, we show that for a simply connected CW complex $Y$ with $H^{*}(Y;\mathbb{Q})$ of finite dimension, if $H^{*}(Y;\mathbb{Q})$ is concentrated in degrees $\leq 3$, then the rationalization $Y_\mathbb{Q}$ is formal. As an…

We prove that the automorphism group of a compact complex parallelizable manifold is Jordan. In the course of the proof we show that outer automorphism groups of cocompact lattices in complex Lie groups have bounded finite subgroups.

The D2 problem of C. T. C. Wall asks whether every finite cohomologically 2-dimensional CW-complex is homotopy equivalent to a finite 2-complex. Several potential counterexamples have been proposed, the longest standing of which is a…

Let $X$ be a finite CW complex and let $h_1, h_2: C(X)\to A$ be two unital \hm s, where $A$ is a unital C*-algebra. We study the problem when $h_1$ and $h_2$ are approximately homotopic. We present a $K$-theoretical necessary and sufficient…

We classify the finite connected-homogeneous digraphs, as well as the infinite such digraphs with precisely one end. This completes the classification of all the locally finite connected-homogeneous digraphs.

We prove that compact complex manifolds bearing a holomorphic Riemannian metric have infinite fundamental group.

We exhibit a finitely generated group $\M$ whose rational homology is isomorphic to the rational stable homology of the mapping class group. It is defined as a mapping class group associated to a surface $\su$ of infinite genus, and…
