We consider the relations between different measures of complexity for free homotopy classes of curves on a surface $\Sigma$, including the minimum number of self-intersections, the minimum length of the words representing them in a…
Frames provide redundant, stable representations of data which have important applications in signal processing. We introduce a connection between symplectic geometry and frame theory and show that many important classes of frames have…
Let $g, n \geq 0$ and $\Sigma = \Sigma_{g, n}$ be a connected oriented surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. The $\mathrm{SL}_2$-character variety of $\Sigma$ has a rigid relative automorphism group, whose elements fix each monodromies…
For a locally finite, connected graph $\Gamma$, let $\operatorname{Map}(\Gamma)$ denote the group of proper homotopy equivalences of $\Gamma$ up to proper homotopy. Excluding sporadic cases, we show $\operatorname{Aut}(S(M_\Gamma)) \cong…
This paper lays the foundations of an approach to applying Gromov's ideas on quantitative topology to topological data analysis. We introduce the "contiguity complex", a simplicial complex of maps between simplicial complexes defined in…
In this paper, we introduce relative LS category of a map and study some of its properties. Then we introduce `higher topological complexity' of a map, a homotopy invariant. We give a cohomological lower bound and compare it with previously…
String backgrounds are described as purely geometric objects related to moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, in the spirit of Segal's definition of a conformal field theory. Relations with conformal field theory, topological field theory and…
We show a homotopy decomposition of $p$-localized suspension $\Sigma M_{(p)}$ of a quasitoric manifold $M$ by constructing power maps. As an application we investigate the $p$-localized suspension of the projection $\pi$ from the…
The $\lambda$-perfect maps, a generalization of perfect maps (continuous closed maps with compact fibers) are presented. Using $P_\lambda$-spaces and the concept of $\lambda$-compactness some results regarding $\lambda$-perfect maps will be…
The purpose of this note is to relate certain ring-theoretic properties of rings in mixed and positive characteristics that are related to each other by a tilting operation used in perfectoid geometry. To this aim, we exploit the…
Several coupled maps models are sketched and reviewed in this short communication. First, a discrete logistic type model that was proposed for the symbiotic interaction of two species. Second, a model of many of these symbiotic species…
We prove the equivalence of several natural notions of conformal maps between sub-Riemannian manifolds. Our main contribution is in the setting of those manifolds that support a suitable regularity theory for subelliptic $p$-Laplacian…
We introduce an information-theoretic framework for smooth structures on topological manifolds, replacing coordinate charts with small-scale entropy data of local probability probes. A concise set of axioms identifies admissible coordinate…
The Local-to-Global-Principle used in the proof of convexity theorems for momentum maps has been extracted as a statement of pure topology enriched with a structure of convexity. We extend this principle to not necessarily closed maps…
Deformation spaces Hom($\pi$,G)/G of representations of the fundamental group $\pi$ of a surface $\Sigma$ in a Lie group $G$ admit natural actions of the mapping class group $Mod_\Sigma$, preserving a Poisson structure. When $G$ is compact,…
The aim of this note is to insert in the literature some easy but apparently not widely known facts about morphisms of locally compact groups, all of which are concerned with the openness of the morphism.
We continue our study on infinitesimal lifting properties of maps between locally noetherian formal schemes started in math.AG/0604241. In this paper, we focus on some properties which arise specifically in the formal context. In this vein,…
Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface with $p_g=q=0$. We show how to use derived categorical methods to study the geometry of certain special iterated Hilbert schemes associated to $S$ by showing that they contain a smooth connected…
In arXiv:1905.07734 we presented a construction that is an analogue of Pontryagin's for proper maps in stable dimensions. This gives a bijection between the cobordism set of framed embedded compact submanifolds in $W\times\mathbb{R}^n$ for…
The aim of this note is to give a quick algebraic proof of (the combinatorial part of) the classification theorem for compact real surfaces, whose classical proofs (as in the Massey book and in the Conway ZIP proof) are based on surgery…
