Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space and let $\mathcal{M}(X)$ denote the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$. Define $I \colon \mathcal{M}(X) \to \R$ by \[I(\mu) = \int_X \int_X d(x,y) d\mu(x) d\mu(y),\] and set $M(X) = \sup…

This paper presents two algorithms. In their simplest form, the first algorithm decides the existence of a pointed homotopy between given simplicial maps f, g from X to Y and the second computes the group $[\Sigma X,Y]^*$ of pointed…

Given topological spaces X and Y, a fundamental problem of algebraic topology is understanding the structure of all continuous maps X -> Y . We consider a computational version, where X, Y are given as finite simplicial complexes, and the…

We introduce and study the notion of \emph{equivariant homotopic distance} $D_G(f,g)$ between $G$-maps $f,g \colon X \to Y$. We show that the equivariant Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and the equivariant topological complexity are…

We first show that, for a fixed locally compact manifold $N,$ the space $L^2(S^1,N)$ has not the homotopy type odf the classical loop space $C^\infty(S^1,N),$ by two theorems: - the inclusion $C^\infty(S^1,N) \subset L^2(S^1,N)$ is null…

We prove that for compact, non-contractible, one dimensional geodesic spaces, a version of the marked length spectrum conjecture holds. For a compact one dimensional geodesic space X, we define a subspace Conv(X). When X is…

Let $X$ be a locally symmetric space $\Gamma\backslash G/K$ where $G$ is a connected non-compact semisimple real Lie group with trivial centre, $K$ is a maximal compact subgroup of $G$, and $\Gamma\subset G$ is a torsion-free irreducible…

Let X be a compact (resp. compact and nonsingular) real algebraic variety and let Y be a homogeneous space for some linear real algebraic group. We prove that a continuous (resp. C^infinity) map f:X-->Y can be approximated by regular maps…

For every $p\in(1,\infty)$ there is a natural notion of topological degree for maps in $W^{1/p,p}({\mathbb S}^1;{\mathbb S}^1)$ which allows us to write that space as a disjoint union of classes, $W^{1/p,p}({\mathbb S}^1;{\mathbb…

A reparametrization (of a continuous path) is given by a surjective weakly increasing self-map of the unit interval. We show that the monoid of reparametrizations (with respect to compositions) can be understood via ``stop-maps'' that allow…

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…

Upper asymptotic density induces a pseudometric on the power set of the natural numbers, with respect to which $P(\mathbb{N})$ is complete. The collection $D$ of sets with asymptotic density is closed in this pseudometric, and closed…

As a step towards establishing homotopy-theoretic foundations for topological data analysis (TDA), we introduce and study homotopy interleavings between filtered topological spaces. These are homotopy-invariant analogues of interleavings,…

We investigate a question posed by Huaipeng Chen: if $X$ and $Y$ are paracompact submetrizable spaces and $f:X\to Y$ is a perfect map, can $X$ and $Y$ be submetrized by metrics $\rho$ and $d$ respectively such that $f$ remains perfect with…

The concept of homotopic distance and its higher analog are introduced in [6]. In this paper we introduce some important properties of higher homotopic distance, investigate the conditions under which $\cat$, $\secat$ and higher dimensional…

Inspired by the recent theory of Entropy-Transport problems and by the $\mathbf{D}$-distance of Sturm on normalised metric measure spaces, we define a new class of complete and separable distances between metric measure spaces of possibly…

It is shown that a surjective monotone map $X\to Y$ between finite $T_0$-spaces induces a surjective map on homology. As such a map turns out to be a sequence of edge contractions in the Hasse diagram of $X$, followed by a homeomorphism,…

In the present paper we investigate the properties of the Hausdorff mapping $\mathcal{H}$, which takes each compact metric space to the space of its nonempty closed subspaces. It is shown that this mapping is nonexpanding (Lipschitz mapping…

Building on the recent work of Mushaandja and Olela-Otafudu~\cite{MushaandjaOlela2025} on modular metric topologies, this paper investigates extended structural properties of modular (pseudo)metric spaces. We provide necessary and…

We show that every continuous map from one translationally finite tiling space to another can be approximated by a local map. If two local maps are homotopic, then the homotopy can be chosen so that every interpolating map is also local.
