We establish some structural results for the Witt and Grothendieck-Witt groups of schemes over $\mathbb{Z}[1/2]$, including homotopy invariance for Witt groups and a formula for the Witt and Grothendieck-Witt groups of punctured affine…

The relation between manifold topology, observables and gauge group is clarified on the basis of the classification of the representations of the algebra of observables associated to positions and displacements on the manifold. The guiding,…

We describe a Hopf algebraic approach to the Grothendieck ring of representations of subgroups $H_\pi$ of the general linear group GL(n) which stabilize a tensor of Young symmetry $\{\pi\}$. It turns out that the representation ring of the…

We connect the homotopy type of simplicial moduli spaces of algebraic structures to the cohomology of their deformation complexes. Then we prove that under several assumptions, mapping spaces of algebras over a monad in an appropriate…

Covering spaces are a fundamental tool in algebraic topology because of the close relationship they bear with the fundamental groups of spaces. Indeed, they are in correspondence with the subgroups of the fundamental group: this is known as…

The paper provides a link between ergodic theory and symplectic topology. A classical notion of ergodic theory is a skew product map associated with a loop in a group of transformations. We study skew products which come from loops in the…

We show that the canonical map from the associative operad to the unital associative operad is a homotopy epimorphism for a wide class of symmetric monoidal model categories. As a consequence, the space of unital associative algebra…

I extend the definitions of schemes relative to monoids with zero - and therefore, toric geometry - to the world of formal schemes. This expands the usual framework to include, for instance, models for Mumford's degenerating Abelian…

We establish a unified group-theoretic framework bridging the arithmetic homotopy exact sequence of a variety and the Birman exact sequence of a surface. Within this framework, we reinterpret classical arithmetic notions - such as the…

We discuss a new approach to computing the standard algebraic operations on homotopy classes of loops in surfaces: the homological intersection number, Goldman's Lie bracket, and the author's Lie cobracket. Our approach uses fillings of the…

Directed Algebraic Topology is beginning to emerge from various applications. The basic structure we shall use for such a theory, a 'd-space', is a topological space equipped with a family of 'directed paths', closed under some operations.…

The notion of a Hopf module over a Hopf (co)quasigroup is introduced and a version of the fundamental theorem for Hopf (co)quasigroups is proven.

Loop quantum gravity is an approach to quantum gravity that starts from the Hamiltonian formulation in terms of a connection and its canonical conjugate. Quantization proceeds in the spirit of Dirac: First one defines an algebra of basic…

In this article we establish some results that allow to deduce the continuity of homomorphisms of (topological) abelian groups from commutative diagrams. In particular, we present a new topological version of the classical Five-Lemma. These…

In this paper we continue Prasma's homotopical group theory program by considering homotopy normal maps in arbitrary $\infty$-topoi. We show that maps of group objects equipped with normality data, in Prasma's sense, are algebras for a…

We introduce an algebraic system which can be used as a model for spaces with geodesic paths between any two of their points. This new algebraic structure is based on the notion of mobility algebra which has recently been introduced as a…

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a description of the fundamental group of a symplectic manifold in terms of Floer theoretic objects. As an application, we show that when counted with a suitable notion of multiplicity, non…

This very speculative sketch suggests that a theory of fundamental groupoids for tensor triangulated categories could be used to describe the ring of integers as the singular fiber in a family of ring-spectra parametrized by a structure…

We give an elementary introduction to the theory of algebraic and topological quantum groups (in the spirit of S. L. Woronowicz). In particular, we recall the basic facts from Hopf (*-) algebra theory, theory of compact (matrix) quantum…

A braided generalization of the concept of Hopf algebra (quantum group) is presented. The generalization overcomes an inherent geometrical inhomogeneity of quantum groups, in the sense of allowing completely pointless objects. All…
