We define a simplicial category called the category of derived manifolds. It contains the category of smooth manifolds as a full discrete subcategory, and it is closed under taking arbitrary intersections in a manifold. A derived manifold…
This article gives a natural decomposition of the suspension of generalized moment-angle complexes or {\it partial product spaces} which arise as {\it polyhedral product functors} described below. In the special case of the complements of…
A certain Grothendieck topology assigned to a metric space gives rise to a sheaf cohomology theory which sees the coarse structure of the space. Already constant coefficients produce interesting cohomology groups. In degree 0 they see the…
We produce a highly structured way of associating a simplicial category to a model category which improves on work of Dwyer and Kan and answers a question of Hovey. We show that model categories satisfying a certain axiom are Quillen…
Felder and Kazhdan conjecture that the local cohomology in the classical Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism vanishes in sufficiently negative degrees. This hypothesis is violated by the $N=1$ spinning particle. By Barnich-Grigoriev, this…
In the paper we describe complexes whose homologies are naturally isomorphic to the first term of the Vassiliev spectral sequence computing (co)homology of the spaces of long knots in R^d, d>=3. The first term of the Vassiliev spectral…
Hyperspaces form a powerful tool in some branches of mathematics: lots of fractal and other geometric objects can be viewed as fixed points of some functions in suitable hyperspaces - as well as interesting classes of formal languages in…
We identify a close relationship between stable sheaf cohomology for polynomial functors applied to the cotangent bundle on projective space, and Koszul--Ringel duality on the category of strict polynomial functors as described in the work…
The purpose of this note is to point out that simplicial methods and the well-known Dold-Kan construction in simplicial homotopy theory can be fruitfully applied to convert link homology theories into homotopy theories. Dold and Kan prove…
We describe a fully faithful embedding of the category of (reflexive) globular sets into the category of counital cosymmetric $R$-coalgebras when $R$ is an integral domain. This embedding is a lift of the usual functor of $R$-chains and the…
In this paper configuration spaces of smooth manifolds are considered. The accent is made on actions of certain groups (mostly $p$-tori) on this spaces by permuting their points. For such spaces the cohomological index, the genus in the…
Waldhausen's $S_\bullet$-construction gives a way to define the algebraic $K$-theory space of a category with cofibrations. Specifically, the $K$-theory space of a category with cofibrations $\mathcal{C}$ can be defined as the loop space of…
Given a simplicial complex $X$, we construct a simplicial complex $\Omega X$ that may be regarded as a combinatorial version of the based loop space of a topological space. Our construction explicitly describes the simplices of $\Omega X$…
In this paper, we characterise metric spaces which have topologically connected Higson coronas. The characterisation is given by a natural categorical condition applied in the coarse category. We also give a characterisation in terms of…
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero with a fixed embedding $\sigma:k\hookrightarrow \mathbb{C}$ into the field of complex numbers. Given a $k$-variety $X$, we use the triangulated category of \'etale motives with rational coefficients…
We introduce and study certain topological spaces associated with connected rooted graphs. These spaces reflect combinatorial and order theoretic properties of the underlying graph and relate in the case of hyperbolic graphs to Gromov's…
Simple classical mechanical systems and solution spaces of classical field theories involve singularities. In certain situations these singularities can be understood in terms of stratified Kaehler spaces. We give an overview of a research…
Given a finite modular tensor category, we associate with each compact surface with boundary a cochain complex in such a way that the mapping class group of the surface acts projectively on its cohomology groups. In degree zero, this action…
We present explicit formulas for the intersection pairing in the intersection cohomology of the moduli space $M_0(r)$ of rank-$r$, degree-$0$ semistable bundles on a Riemann surface. The key idea is to realize this intersection cohomology…
Let $X\subset \mathbb P^N$ be a scroll over a smooth curve $C$ and let $\L=\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^N}(1)|_X$ denote the hyperplane bundle. The special geometry of $X$ implies that some sheaves related to the principal part bundles of $\L$ are…
