Given a relation on $ X \times Y $, we can construct two abstract simplicial complexes called Dowker complexes. The geometric realizations of these simplicial complexes are homotopically equivalent. We show that if two relations are…

We explain how homotopical information of two composeable relations can be organized in two simplicial categories that augment the relations row and column complexes. We show that both of these categories realize to weakly equivalent…

We construct a simplicial complex, the rectangle complex of a relation R, and show that it is homotopy equivalent to the Dowker complex of R. This results in a short and conceptual proof of functorial versions of Dowker's Theorem used in…

A cosheaf is the dual notion of a sheaf, but we cannot define its homology as the formal dual of sheaf cohomology, in general, because of the lack of the cosheafification. A cellular cosheaf is a contravariant functor from the face poset of…

Given a relation $R \subseteq I \times J$ between two sets, Dowker's Theorem (1952) states that the homology groups of two associated simplicial complexes, now known as Dowker complexes, are isomorphic. In its modern form, the full result…

We provide first a categorical exploration of, and then completion of the mapping of the relationships among, three fundamental perspectives on binary relations: as the incidence matrices of hypergraphs, as the formal contexts of concept…

We propose a categorification of the Dowker duality theorem for relations. Dowker's theorem states that the Dowker complex of a relation $R \subseteq X \times Y$ of sets $X$ and $Y$ is homotopy equivalent to the Dowker complex of the…

The Dowker theorem is a classical result in the topology of finite spaces, claiming that any binary relation between two finite spaces defines two homotopy-equivalent complexes (the Dowker complexes). Recently, Barmak strengthened this to a…

This paper presents three short, new proofs of Dowker duality using various poset fiber lemmas. We introduce modifications of joins and products of simplicial complexes called relational join and relational product complexes. These…

The Dowker complex $\mathrm{D}_{R}(X,Y)$ is a simplicial complex capturing the topological interplay between two finite sets $X$ and $Y$ under some relation $R\subseteq X\times Y$. While its definition is asymmetric, the famous Dowker…

To a digraph with a choice of certain integral basis, we construct a CW complex, whose integral singular cohomology is canonically isomorphic to the path cohomology of the digraph as introduced in \cite{GLMY}. The homotopy type of the CW…

Cosheaves are a dual notion of sheaves. In this paper, we prove existence of a dual of sheafifications, called \textit{cosheafifications}, in the $\infty$-category theory. We also prove that the $\infty$-category of $\infty$-cosheaves is…

We introduce a notion of representation for a class of generalised quivers known as Coxeter quivers. These representations are built using fusion categories associated to $U_q(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_2)$ at roots of unity and we show that…

This paper is dedicated to the study of weight complexes (defined on triangulated categories endowed with weight structures) and their applications. We introduce pure (co)homological functors that "ignore all non-zero weights"; these have a…

A $2$-matching complex is a simplicial complex which captures the relationship between $2$-matchings of a graph. In this paper, we will use discrete Morse Theory and the Matching Tree Algorithm to prove homotopical results. We will consider…

We present a method to compute integral cohomology of posets. This toolbox is applicable as soon as the sub-posets under each object possess certain structure. This is the case for simplicial complexes and simplex-like posets. The method is…
