We develop topological dynamics for the group of automorphisms of a monster model of any given theory. In particular, we find strong relationships between objects from topological dynamics (such as the generalized Bohr compactification…

We survey research on the homotopy theory of the space map(X, Y) consisting of all continuous functions between two topological spaces. We summarize progress on various classification problems for the homotopy types represented by the…

These notes illustrates the power of formulating ideas of commutative algebra in a homotopy invariant form. They can then be applied to derived categories of rings or ring spectra. These ideas are powerful in classical algebra, in…

We prove an upper bound of higher topological complexity $TC_n(X)$ using higher $\mathcal{D}$-topological complexity $TC_n^{\mathcal{D}}(X)$ of a space $X$. An intermediate invariant $\widetilde{TC}_n(X)$ is used in the proof. We interpret…

Let $(G,\alpha)$ and $(H,\beta)$ be locally compact groupoids with Haar systems. We define a topological correspondence from $(G,\alpha)$ to $(H,\beta)$ to be a $G$-$H$-bispace $X$ on which $H$ acts properly and $X$ carries a continuous…

We develop a theory of $\times$-homotopy, fundamental groupoids and covering spaces that apply to non-simple graphs, generalizing existing results for simple graphs. We prove that $\times$-homotopies from finite graphs can be decomposed…

This is the second in a series of papers. Here we develop here an intersection theory for manifolds equipped with an action of a finite group. As in our previous paper, our approach will be homotopy theoretic, enabling us to circumvent the…

Let $X,Y$ be $(n-1)$-connected finite pointed CW-complexes of dimension at most $n+2$, $n\geq 3$. In this paper we give elementary proofs of the abelian group structure of $[X,Y]$ of homotopy classes of based maps from $X$ to $Y$, which was…

This sequel to our previous paper [MS11b] continues the study of topological contact dynamics and applications to contact dynamics and topological dynamics. We provide further evidence that the topological automorphism groups of a contact…

Let A and B be normal matrices with coefficients that are continuous complex-valued functions on a topological space X that has the homotopy type of a CW complex, and suppose these matrices have the same distinct eigenvalues at each point…

A homomorphism from a graph $G$ to a graph $H$ is an edge-preserving mapping from $V(G)$ to $V(H)$. Let $H$ be a fixed graph with possible loops. In the list homomorphism problem, denoted by \textsc{LHom}($H$), the instance is a graph $G$,…

We consider the homotopy type of maps between symplectic surface whose graphs form symplectic submanifolds of the product. We give a purely topological model for this space in terms of maps with constrained numbers of pre-images. We use…

This paper aims to examine the version of the topological group structure in proximity and especially descriptive proximity spaces, that is, the concepts of proximal group and descriptive proximal group are introduced. In addition, the…

Let $X$ be a compact toric variety. Let $Hol$ denote the space of based holomorphic maps from $CP^1$ to $X$ which lie in a fixed homotopy class. Let $Map$ denote the corresponding space of continuous maps. We show that $Hol$ has the same…

This paper explores topological complexity in the finite equivariant setting. We first define and study an equivariant version of Tanaka's combinatorial complexity for finite topological spaces. We explore the relationships between this…

We give a topological classification of quantum walks on an infinite 1D lattice, which obey one of the discrete symmetry groups of the tenfold way, have a gap around some eigenvalues at symmetry protected points, and satisfy a mild locality…

Given CW complexes X and Y, let map(X,Y) denote the space of continuous functions from X to Y with the compact open topology. The space map(X,Y) need not have the homotopy type of a CW complex. Here the results of an extensive investigation…

For simple graphs $G$ and $H$, the Hom complex $\mathrm{Hom}(G,H)$ is a polyhedral complex whose vertices are the graph homomorphisms $G\to H$ and whose edges connect the pairs of homomorphisms which differ in a single vertex of $G$. Hom…

This paper defines an invariant associated to Whitehead's certain exact sequence of a simply connected CW-complex which is much more elementary - and less powerful - than the boundary invariant of Baues. Nevertheless, in good cases, it…

For Hamiltonian circle actions on compact, connected, four-dimensional manifolds, we give a generators and relations description for the even part of the equivariant cohomology, as an algebra over the equivariant cohomology of a point. This…
