The aim of this article is to provide space level maps between configuration spaces of graphs that are predicted by algebraic manipulations of cellular chains. More explicitly, we consider edge contraction and half-edge deletion, and…

We consider two independent Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs, with possibly different parameters, and study two isomorphism problems, a graph embedding problem and a common subgraph problem. Under certain conditions on the graph parameters…

We introduce a new variant of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture designed to tackle coarsely disconnected metric spaces called the boundary coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. We prove this conjecture for many coarsely disconnected spaces that…

We consider the space of all configurations of finitely many (potentially nested) circles in the plane. We prove that this space is aspherical, and compute the fundamental group of each of its connected components. It turns out these…

We generalize the idea of cofinite groups, due to B. Hartley. First we define cofinite spaces in general. Then, as a special situation, we study cofinite graphs and their uniform completions. The idea of constructing a cofinite graph starts…

When the theory of Leavitt path algebras was already quite advanced, it was discovered that some of the more difficult questions were susceptible to a new approach using topological groupoids. The main result that makes this possible is…

The monography examines the problem of constructing a group of automorphisms of a graph. A graph automorphism is a mapping of a set of vertices onto itself that preserves adjacency. The set of such automorphisms forms a vertex group of a…

Recent developments in applied algebraic topology can simplify and extend results in graphic statics - the analysis of equilibrium forces, dual diagrams, and more. The techniques introduced here are inspired by recent developments in…

We give an account of the current state of the approch to quantum field theory via Hopf algebras and Hochschild cohomology. We emphasize the versatility and mathematical foundation of this algebraic structure, and collect algebraic…

We develop a theory of umkehr maps for twisted generalized homology theories. In this theory, interesting umkehr maps, including generalizations of important classical ones, are induced by cartesian morphisms of a certain category opfibred…

Hypergraphs, as a generalization of simplicial complexes, have long been a subject of interest in their geometric interpretation. The subdivision of simplicial complexes can, to some extent, provide insights into the geometry of simplicial…

We define notions of local topological convergence and local geometric convergence for embedded graphs in $\mathbb{R}^n,$ and study their properties. The former is related to Benjamini-Schramm convergence, and the latter to weak convergence…

Regular hypermaps with underlying simple hypergraphs are analysed. We obtain an algorithm to classify the regular embeddings of simple hypergraphs with given order, and determine the automorphism groups of regular embedding of simple…

Using the notion of contiguity of simplicial maps, we adapt Farber's topological complexity to the realm of simplicial complexes. We show that, for a finite simplicial complex $K$, our discretized concept recovers the topological complexity…

In order to make the fundamental group, one of the most well known invariants in algebraic topology, more useful and powerful some researchers have introduced and studied various topologies on the fundamental group from the beginning of the…

The embedding problem is to decide, given an ordered pair of structures, whether or not there is an injective homomorphism from the first structure to the second. We study this problem using an established perspective in parameterized…

We study homomorphism polynomials, which are polynomials that enumerate all homomorphisms from a pattern graph $H$ to $n$-vertex graphs. These polynomials have received a lot of attention recently for their crucial role in several new…

The structure of topological spaces is analysed here through the lenses of fibrous preorders. Each topological space has an associated fibrous preorder and those fibrous preorders which return a topological space are called spacial. A…
