We continue the study of infinite geodesics in planar first-passage percolation, pioneered by Newman in the mid 1990s. Building on more recent work of Hoffman, and Damron and Hanson, we develop an ergodic theory for infinite geodesics via…

Using the connections among almost complete intersection schemes, arithmetically Gorenstein schemes and schemes that are union of complete intersections we give a structure theorem for arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay union of two complete…

The kth finite subset space of a topological space X is the space exp_k X of non-empty finite subsets of X of size at most k, topologised as a quotient of X^k. The construction is a homotopy functor and may be regarded as a union of…

We show how measuring real space properties such as the charge density in a quasiperiodic system can be used to gain insight into their topological properties. In particular, for the Fibonacci chain, we show that the total onsite charge…

We study the asymptotic laws for the number, Betti numbers, and isotopy classes of connected components of zero sets of real Gaussian random fields, where the random zero sets almost surely consist of submanifolds of codimension greater…

Drawing parallels with hyperplane arrangements, we develop the theory of arrangements of submanifolds. Given a smooth, finite dimensional, real manifold $X$ we consider a finite collection $\mathcal{A}$ of locally flat, codimension-1…

We consider the moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}_d(\ell)$ of a closed linkage with $n$ links and prescribed lengths $\ell\in \mathbb{R}^n$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. For $d>3$ these spaces are no longer manifolds generically, but they…

We define two generalizations of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian and determine their topology in the case of real projective space. We find the spaces to be PL manifolds with boundary which are homotopy equivalent to another real…

A theorem of Gulliksen states that a local ring is a complete intersection if and only if the Betti numbers of its finitely generated modules grow polynomially. We prove a derived version of Gulliksen's Theorem. More precisely, we prove a…

It is proved that the moduli space of static solutions of the CP^1 model on spacetime Sigma x R, where Sigma is any compact Riemann surface, is geodesically incomplete with respect to the metric induced by the kinetic energy functional. The…

Let E be a locally solid vector lattice. In this paper, we consider two particular vector subspaces of the space of all order bounded operators on E. With the aid of two appropriate topologies, we show that under some conditions, they…

The program of understanding Shape Theory layer by layer topologically and geometrically -- proposed in Part I -- is now addressed for 4 points in 1-$d$. Topological shape space graphs are far more complex here, whereas metric shape spaces…

In this paper, we compute the number of self-intersections of a plane projection of a generic complete intersection curve defined by polynomials with the given support. Moreover, we discuss the tropical counterpart of this problem.

Tautological systems developed in [6],[7] are Picard-Fuchs type systems to study period integrals of complete intersections in Fano varieties. We generalize tautological systems to local complete intersections, which are zero loci of global…

The orientability problem in real Gromov-Witten theory is one of the fundamental hurdles to enumerating real curves. In this paper, we describe topological conditions on the target manifold which ensure that the uncompactified moduli spaces…

For a compact surface $S$ with constant negative curvature $-\kappa$ (for some $\kappa>0$) and genus $g\geq2$, we show that the tails of the distribution of $i(\alpha,\beta)/l(\alpha)l(\beta)$ (where $i(\alpha,\beta)$ is the intersection…

We prove qualitative estimates on the total curvature of closed minimal hypersurfaces in closed Riemannian manifolds in terms of their index and area, restricting to the case where the hypersurface has dimension less than seven. In…

We consider the closed locus of $r$-tuples of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^r$ with positive dimensional intersection, and show in a large range of degrees that its largest component is the locus of $r$-tuples of hypersurfaces whose…

In analogy to the topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of totally disconnected locally compact groups, we introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of locally linearly compact vector spaces. We study…

We introduce the geodesic complexity of a metric space, inspired by the topological complexity of a topological space. Both of them are numerical invariants, but, while the TC only depends on the homotopy type, the GC is an invariant under…
