We study the higher expansion properties of locally symmetric spaces, with a particular focus on octonionic hyperbolic manifolds. We show that codimension two minimal submanifolds of compact octonionic locally symmetric spaces must have…

We show that the sum of the local cohomological dimension and the rectified $\mathbb Q$-homological depth of a closed analytic subspace of a complex manifold coincide with the dimension of the ambient manifold. The local cohomological…

Let p be a fibration over a finite simplicial complex, whose fibers have the homotopy type of finite simplicial complexes. Then p is equivalent to an approximate fibration whose total space is a compact ENR. The proof uses homotopy coherent…

Let F denote the homotopy fiber of a map f:K-->L of 2-reduced simplicial sets. Using as input data the strongly homotopy coalgebra structure of the chain complexes of K and L, we construct a small, explicit chain algebra, the homology of…

A topological group is constructed which is homotopy equivalent to the pointed loop space of a path-connected Riemannian manifold $M$ and which is given in terms of "composable small geodesics" on $M$. This model is analogous to J. Milnor's…

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 the notion of a point on a locally closed subset of a symplectic manifold being "locally rigid" with respect to that subset, prove that this notion is invariant under symplectic homeomorphisms, and show that coisotropic…

We study the locus of the liftings of a homogeneous ideal $H$ in a polynomial ring over any field. We prove that this locus can be endowed with a structure of scheme $\mathrm L_H$ by applying the constructive methods of Gr\"obner bases, for…

Let $G$ be a real linear algebraic group and $L$ a finitely generated cosimplicial group. We prove that the space of homomorphisms $Hom(L_n,G)$ has a homotopy stable decomposition for each $n\geq 1$. When $G$ is a compact Lie group, we show…

We show that the topological cycle space of a locally finite graph is a canonical quotient of the first singular homology group of its Freudenthal compactification, and we characterize the graphs for which the two coincide. We construct a…

Suppose X/Gamma is an arithmetic locally symmetric space of noncompact type (with the natural metric induced by the Killing form of the isometry group of X), and let p be a point on the visual boundary of X. It was shown by T.Hattori that…

A topological space is locally equiconnected if there exists a neighborhood $U$ of the diagonal in $X\times X$ and a continuous map $\lambda:U\times[0,1]\to X$ such that $\lambda(x,y,0)=x$, $\lambda(x,y,1)=y$ et $\lambda(x,x,t)=x$ for…

For a Lorentzian homogeneous space, we study how algebraic conditions on the isotropy group affect the geometry and curvature of the homogeneous space. More specifically, we prove that a Lorentzian locally homogeneous space is locally…

A smooth curve $\gamma: [0,1] \to \Ss^2$ is locally convex if its geodesic curvature is positive at every point. J. A. Little showed that the space of all locally convex curves $\gamma$ with $\gamma(0) = \gamma(1) = e_1$ and $\gamma'(0) =…

In previous work, the first author defined homotopy theories for stratified spaces from a simplicial and a topological perspective. In both frameworks stratified weak-equivalences are detected by suitable generalizations of homotopy links.…

A neighborhood homotopy is an equivalence relation on spatial graphs which is generated by crossing changes on the same component and neighborhood equivalence. We give a complete classification of all 2-component spatial graphs up to…

In this paper we study the systole growth of arithmetic locally symmetric spaces up congruence covers and show that this growth is at least logarithmic in volume. This generalizes previous work of Buser and Sarnak as well as Katz, Schaps…

Let Y be a random d-dimensional subcomplex of the (n-1)-dimensional simplex S obtained by starting with the full (d-1)-dimensional skeleton of S and then adding each d-simplex independently with probability p=c/n. We compute an explicit…

We prove a version of Quillen's theorems for a map of semi-Segal spaces. We construct a bi-semi-simplicial resolution similar to the one associated to a functor of non-unital topological categories. As a consequence we can represent the…

We investigate how often geodesics have homology in a fixed set of the homology lattice of a compact Riemann surface. We prove that closed geodesics are equidistributed on any sets with asymptotic density with respect to a specific norm. We…
