The presence of compact extra dimensions in cosmological scenarios in the context of f(T)-like gravities is discussed. For the case of toroidal compactifications, the analysis is performed in an arbitrary number of extra dimensions.…
We find conditions which ensure that the topological complexity of a closed manifold $M$ with abelian fundamental group is nonmaximal, and see through examples that our conditions are sharp. This generalizes results of Costa and Farber on…
We determine the symmetrized topological complexity of the circle, using primarily just general topology.
We introduce \emph{local Urysohn width}, a complexity measure for classification problems on metric spaces. Unlike VC dimension, fat-shattering dimension, and Rademacher complexity, which characterize the richness of hypothesis…
We treat the boundary problem for complex varieties with isolated singularities, of complex dimension greater than or equal to 3, non necessarily compact, which are contained in strongly convex, open subsets of a complex Hilbert space H. We…
The geodesic complexity of a metric space X is the smallest k for which there is a partition of X x X into ENRs E_0,...,E_k on each of which there is a continuous choice of minimal geodesic sigma(x_0,x_1) from x_0 to x_1. We prove that the…
We study finiteness (and vanishing) properties of the higher order degrees associated to complements of complex affine plane curves with mild singularities at infinity. Our results impose new obstructions on the class of groups that can be…
We compute the topological complexity of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces associated to the group of automorphisms of a finitely generated free group which act by conjugation on a given basis, and to certain subgroups.
We use some detailed knowledge of the cohomology ring of real Grassmann manifolds $G_k(\mathbb{R}^n)$ to compute zero-divisor cup-length and estimate topological complexity of motion planning for $k$-linear subspaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In…
Higher-dimensional category theory is the study of n-categories, operads, braided monoidal categories, and other such exotic structures. Although it can be treated purely as an algebraic subject, it is inherently topological in nature: the…
In this paper, we study the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a simplicial map between simplicial complexes, generalizing the simplicial category of a complex to that of a map. Several properties of this new invariant are shown, including…
We prove upper bounds on the face numbers of simplicial complexes in terms on their girths, in analogy with the Moore bound from graph theory. Our definition of girth generalizes the usual definition for graphs.
In this paper, Lusternik-Schinrelmann and geometric category of finite spaces are considered. We define new numerical invariants of these spaces derived from the geometric category and present an algorithmic approach for its effective…
We show that the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of the homotopy cofiber of the diagonal map for non-orientable surfaces equals three. Also, we prove that the topological complexity of non-orientable surfaces of genus $>3$ is four.
We define nodal finite dimensional algebras and describe their structure over an algebraically closed field. For a special class of such algebras (type A) we find a criterion of tameness.
We study the categories of discrete modules for topological rings arising as the rings of operations in various kinds of topological K-theory. We prove that for these rings the discrete modules coincide with those modules which are locally…
We develop a theory of limits for sequences of dense abstract simplicial complexes, where a sequence is considered convergent if its homomorphism densities converge. The limiting objects are represented by stacks of measurable [0,1]-valued…
Differential calculus on discrete sets is developed in the spirit of noncommutative geometry. Any differential algebra on a discrete set can be regarded as a `reduction' of the `universal differential algebra' and this allows a systematic…
We establish a relationship between a certain notion of covering complexity of a Riemannian spin manifold and positive lower bounds on its scalar curvature. This makes use of a pairing between quantitative operator $K$-theory and Lipschitz…
D. K. Biss (Topology and its Applications 124 (2002) 355-371) introduced the topological fundamental group and presented some interesting basic properties of the notion. In this article we intend to extend the above notion to homotopy…
