We introduce a homology theory for k-graphs and explore its fundamental properties. We establish connections with algebraic topology by showing that the homology of a k-graph coincides with the homology of its topological realisation as…

A duality is discussed for Lie group bundles vs. certain tensor categories with non-simple identity, in the setting of Nistor-Troitsky gauge-equivariant K-theory. As an application, we study C*-algebra bundles with fibre a fixed-point…

Using a result of Vdovina, we may associate to each complete connected bipartite graph $\kappa$ a $2$-dimensional square complex, which we call a tile complex, whose link at each vertex is $\kappa$. We regard the tile complex in two…

This paper is devoted to the horizontal (``characteristic'') cohomology of systems of differential equations. Recent results on computing the horizontal cohomology via the compatibility complex are generalized. New results on the Vinogradov…

The Riemann curvature tensor fully encodes local geometry, but its Ricci contraction retains only limited information: only the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature survive, while the Weyl curvature vanishes identically. We show that…

Let $\C$ denote the field of complex numbers, and fix a nonzero $q \in \C$ such that $q^4 \ne 1$. Define a $\C$-algebra $\Delta_q$ by generators and relations in the following way. The generators are $A,B,C$. The relations assert that each…

Just as D-brane charge of Type IIA and Type IIB superstrings is classified, respectively, by K^1(X) and K(X), Ramond-Ramond fields in these theories are classified, respectively, by K(X) and K^1(X). By analyzing a recent proposal for how to…

It is shown that if T is a connected nontrivial graph and X is an arbitrary finite simplicial complex, then there is a graph G such that the complex Hom(T,G) is homotopy equivalent to X. The proof is constructive, and uses a nerve lemma.…

Let $\mathbf{S}_k$ denote a maximal torus in the complex Lie group $\mathbf{G} = \mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})/C_k$ and let $T_k$ denote a maximal torus in its compact real form $\mathrm{SU}_n(\mathbb{C})/C_k$, where $k$ divides $n$. Let $W$…

C*-algebras generalizing Cuntz-Krieger algebras can be associated to hyperbolic homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces. They satisfy a non-commutative form of Spanier-Whitehead duality with respect to K-theory. We prove this for the case…

In this paper, we study Coxeter systems with two-dimensional Davis-Vinberg complexes. We show that for a Coxeter group $W$, if $(W,S)$ and $(W,S')$ are Coxeter systems with two-dimensional Davis-Vinberg complexes, then there exists…

In this paper, I give a generalized analogue of the string topology results of Chas and Sullivan, and of Cohen and Jones. For a finite simplicial complex $X$ and $k \geq 1$, I construct a spectrum $Maps(S^k, X)^{S(X)}$, and show that the…

If G is a finite group, some aspects of the modular representation theory depend on the cochains C^*(BG; k), viewed as a commutative ring spectrum. We consider its singularity category (in the sense of the author and Stevenson arxiv…

The definition of a non-trivial space of generalized functions of a complex variable allowing to consider derivatives of continuous functions is a non-obvious task, e.g. because of Morera theorem, because distributional Cauchy-Riemann…

Six-dimensional conformal field theories with $(2,0)$ supersymmetry are shown to possess a protected sector of operators and observables that are isomorphic to a two-dimensional chiral algebra. We argue that the chiral algebra associated to…

Suppose C is a bounded chain complex of finitely generated free modules over the Laurent polynomial ring L = R[x,1/x]. Then C is R-finitely dominated, ie, homotopy equivalent over R to a bounded chain complex of finitely generated…

Let $\Delta$ be a 1-dimensional simplicial complex. Then $\Delta$ may be identified with a finite simple graph $G$. In this article, we investigate the toric ring $R_G$ of $G$. All graphs $G$ such that $R_G$ is a normal domain are…

It is found that the exact beta-function $\beta(g)$ of the continuous 2D $g\Phi^{4}$ model possesses two types of dual symmetries, these being the Kramers-Wannier (KW) duality symmetry and the weak-strong-coupling symmetry $f(g)$, or…

For two unital Kirchberg algebras with finitely generated K-groups, we introduce a property, called reciprocality, which is proved to be closely related to the homotopy theory of Kirchberg algebras. We show the Spanier--Whitehead duality…

We describe the Chow homology and cohomology of toric variety bundles, with no restrictions on the singularities of the fibre. We present the ordinary and equivariant homologies as modules over the cohomology of the base, identify the…
