In this note we prove an effective characterization of when two finite-degree covers of a connected, orientable surface of negative Euler characteristic are isomorphic in terms of which curves have simple elevations, weakening the…
Many important theorems in differential topology relate properties of manifolds to properties of their underlying homotopy types -- defined e.g. using the total singular complex or the \v{C}ech nerve of a good open cover. Upon embedding 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…
We study the topology of the moduli space of unramified $\mathbb{Z}/p$-covers of tropical curves of genus $g \geq 2$, where $p$ is a prime number. We use recent techniques by Chan--Galatius--Payne to identify contractible subcomplexes of…
A small cover is a closed smooth manifold of dimension $n$ having a locally standard $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-action whose orbit space is isomorphic to a simple polytope. A typical example of small covers is a real projective toric manifold (or,…
This chapter provides a comprehensive survey of foundational results and recent advances concerning minimal generating sets for the mapping class group of a nonorientable surface, $\mathrm{Mod}(N_{g})$, and its index-two twist subgroup,…
We prove general adjoint functor theorems for weakly (co)complete $n$-categories. This class of $n$-categories includes the homotopy $n$-categories of (co)complete $\infty$-categories, so these $n$-categories do not admit all small…
In this paper we work in an arbitrary o-minimal structure with definable Skolem functions and we prove that definably connected, locally definable manifolds are uniformly definably path connected, have an admissible cover by definably…
We prove that a weak equivalence between two cofibrant (colored) props in chain complexes induces a Dwyer-Kan equivalence between the simplicial localizations of the associated categories of algebras. This homotopy invariance under base…
We define the notion of {\em classifying space} of a topological stack and show that every topological stack \X has a classifying space X which is a topological space well-defined up to weak homotopy equivalence. Under a certain…
In this paper, we establish a dual framework for Neeman's results concerning triangulated categories with compact silting objects by employing Brown--Comenetz duality. This framework introduces an intrinsic non-compact subcategory, provides…
We express the rational cohomology of the unordered configuration space of a compact oriented manifold as a representation of its mapping class group in terms of a weight-decomposition of the rational cohomology of the mapping space from…
This note extends Quillen's Theorem A to a large class of categories internal to topological spaces. This allows us to show that under a mild condition a fully faithful and essentially surjective functor between such topological categories…
An oriented connected closed manifold $M^n$ is called a URC-manifold if for any oriented connected closed manifold $N^n$ of the same dimension there exists a nonzero degree mapping of a finite-fold covering $\widehat{M}^n$ of $M^n$ onto…
Finite-sheeted covering mappings onto compact connected groups are studied. It is shown that a finite-sheeted covering mapping from a connected Hausdorff topological space onto a compact connected abelian group G must be a homeomorphism…
A flat cover is a collection of flats identifying the non-bases of a matroid. We introduce the notion of cover complexity, the minimal size of such a flat cover, as a measure for the complexity of a matroid, and present bounds on the number…
We give a review of results on the minimum convex cover and maximum hidden set problems. In addition, we give some new results. First we show that it is NP-hard to determine whether a polygon has the same convex cover number as its hidden…
We consider the intersection map on the family of non-empty $\omega$-Scott-open sets of the lattice of opens of a topological space. We prove that in a certain class of topological spaces the intersection map forms a continuous retraction…
We prove new Brown representability theorems for triangulated categories using metric techniques as introduced in the work of Neeman. In the setting of algebraic geometry, this gives us new representability theorems for homological and…
The signature of closed oriented manifolds is well-known to be multiplicative under finite covers. This fails for Poincar\'e complexes as examples of C. T. C. Wall show. We establish the multiplicativity of the signature, and more…
