We construct classifying spaces for discrete and compact Lie groups, with the property that they are topological groups and complete metric spaces in a natural way. We sketch a program in view of extending these constructions.
We introduce a new extension in symbolic dynamics on two sets of alphabets, called the zip shift space. In finite case, it represents a finite-to-1 local homeomorphism called zip shift map. Such extension, offers a conjugacy between some…
We construct a left semi-model structure on the category of intensional type theories (precisely, on $\mathrm{CxlCat_{Id,1,\Sigma(,\Pi_{ext})}}$). This presents an $\infty$-category of such type theories; we show moreover that there is an…
We relate the recognition principle for infinite $\mathbf P^1$-loop spaces to the theory of motivic fundamental classes of D\'eglise, Jin, and Khan. We first compare two kinds of transfers that are naturally defined on cohomology theories…
We study a natural generalization of covering projections defined in terms of unique lifting properties. A map $p:E\to X$ has the "continuous path-covering property" if all paths in $X$ lift uniquely and continuously (rel. basepoint) with…
We show that the categories PsTop and Lim of pseudotopological spaces and limit spaces, respectively, admit cofibration category structures, and that PsTop admits a model category structure, giving several ways to simultaneously study the…
In this paper, we construct and study derived character maps of finite-dimensional representations of $\infty$-groups. As models for $\infty$-groups we take homotopy simplicial groups, i.e. homotopy simplicial algebras over the algebraic…
We correct an error in the paper [BLO3], and take the opportunity to examine in more detail the derived functors of inverse limits over orbit categories of (infinite) locally finite groups. The main results show how to reduce this in many…
We study phantom maps and homology theories in a stable homotopy category S via a certain Abelian category A. We express the group P(X,Y) of phantom maps X -> Y as an Ext group in A, and give conditions on X or Y which guarantee that it…
We study a generalization of the Svarc genus of a fiber map. For an arbitrary collection E of spaces and a map f:X-->Y, we define a numerical invariant, the E-sectional category of f, in terms of open covers of Y. We obtain several basic…
The Becker-Gottlieb transfer gives a wrong-way map on suspension spectra for maps of spaces whose homotopy fibres are retracts of finite complexes. We prove that this construction is contravariantly functorial on the homotopy category…
We consider an homogeneous action of a finite group on a free linear category over a field in order to prove that the subcategory of invariants is still free. Moreover we show that the representation type is preserved when considering…
In this article, we establish the compatibility between norms and transfers in motivic homotopy theory. More precisely, we construct norm functors for motivic spaces equipped with various flavours of transfer. This yields a norm monoidal…
By considering appropriate finite covering spaces of closed non-orientable surfaces, we construct linear representations of their mapping class group which have finite index image in certain big arithmetic groups.
Suppose that $\pi \: Y \to X$ is a finite map of normal varieties over a perfect field of characteristic $p > 0$. Previous work of the authors gave a criterion for when Frobenius splittings on $X$ (or more generally any $p^{-e}$-linear map)…
We show a simple geometric procedure for an extension of a loop realized as the image $\Sigma ^{\ast}$ of a sharply transitive section in a subgroup $G^{\ast}$ of the projective linear group $PGL(n-1, \mathbb K)$ to a loop realized as the…
With a view towards applications in the theory of infinite-dimensional representations of finite-dimensional Lie supergroups, we introduce a new category of supermanifolds. In this category, supermanifolds of `maps' and `fields' (fibre…
We address the question of when a covering of the boundary of a surface can be extended to a covering of the surface (equivalently: when is there a branched cover with a prescribed monodromy). If such an extension is possible, when can the…
We study the group of self-equivalences of a partially postcritically finite branched cover and answer a question of Adam Epstein about contractibility of certain deformation spaces of rational maps.
In this paper we extend certain central results of zero dimensional systems to higher dimensions. The first main result shows that if (Y,f) is a finitely presented system, then there exists a Smale space (X,F) and a u-resolving factor map…
