We extend some classical results - such as Quillen's Theorem A, the Grothendieck construction, Thomason's Theorem and the characterisation of homotopically cofinal functors - from the homotopy theory of small categories to polynomial monads…
The classifying spaces of cobordisms of singular maps have two fairly different constructions. We expose a homotopy theoretical connection between them. As a corollary we show that the classifying spaces in some cases have a simple product…
We develop the foundations of the deformation theory of compact complete affine space forms and affine crystallographic groups. Using methods from the theory of linear algebraic groups we show that these deformation spaces inherit an…
We express the rational homotopy type of the mapping spaces $\mathrm{Map}^h(\mathsf D_m,\mathsf D_n^{\mathbb Q})$ of the little discs operads in terms of graph complexes. Using known facts about the graph homology this allows us to compute…
The results of a previous paper on the equivariant homotopy theory of crossed complexes are generalised from the case of a discrete group to general topological groups. The principal new ingredient necessary for this is an analysis of…
We study localization at a prime in homotopy type theory, using self maps of the circle. Our main result is that for a pointed, simply connected type $X$, the natural map $X \to X_{(p)}$ induces algebraic localizations on all homotopy…
We characterize Hopf spaces with finitely generated cohomology as an algebra over the Steenrod algebra. We "deconstruct" the original space into an H-space Y with finite mod p cohomology and a finite number of p-torsion Eilenberg-Mac Lane…
We obtain restrictions on the rational homotopy types of mapping spaces and of classifying spaces of homotopy automorphisms by means of the theory of positive weight decompositions. The theory applies, in particular, to connected components…
We investigate a special kind of contraction of symmetric spaces (respectively, of Lie triple systems), called homotopy. In this first part of a series of two papers we construct such contractions for classical symmetric spaces in an…
The homotopy theory of the blow up construction in algebraic and symplectic geometry is investigated via two approaches. The first approach introduces and develops fibrewise surgery theory, for which the fibrewise framing is characterized…
We use homotopy operators for the $L_\infty$-algebra associated with an equivariant deformation problem in order to describe a smooth parametrization of the space of structures around a given one. Along the way we give new algebraic and…
We prove that the one-loop deformation of any quaternionic K\"ahler manifold in the class of c-map spaces is locally inhomogeneous. As a corollary, we obtain that the full isometry group of the one-loop deformation of any homogeneous c-map…
We survey research on the homotopy theory of the space map(X, Y) consisting of all continuous functions between two topological spaces. We summarize progress on various classification problems for the homotopy types represented by the…
In this note we construct approximations by smooth projective varieties of some Eienberg-MacLane spaces in the $A^1$-homotopy category. Using these, we study the cycle maps from Chow rings to etale cohomology rings.
This paper identifies the homotopy theories of topological stacks and orbispaces with unstable global homotopy theory. At the same time, we provide a new perspective by interpreting it as the homotopy theory of `spaces with an action of the…
An isovariant map is an equivariant map between $G$-spaces which strictly preserves isotropy groups. In this paper, we lay the groundwork for the study of isovariant stable homotopy theory. We prove an isovariant Blakers--Massey theorem and…
We present a development of cellular cohomology in homotopy type theory. Cohomology associates to each space a sequence of abelian groups capturing part of its structure, and has the advantage over homotopy groups in that these abelian…
This is partly a survey and partly a research article. Some known results and open problems about Kaehler groups (fundamental groups of compact Kaehler manifolds) are discussed. A new notion of Kaehler homomorphism is introduced. This is a…
We study the homotopy groups of open books in terms of those of their pages and bindings. Under homotopy theoretic conditions on the monodromy we prove an integral decomposition result for the based loop space on an open book, and under…
Let $M$ be a closed, oriented, simply connected 6-manifold. After localization away from 2, we give a homotopy decomposition of $\Sigma M$ in terms of spheres, Moore spaces and other recognizable spaces. As applications we calculate…
