We generalize results from topological robotics on the topological complexity (TC) of aspherical spaces to sectional categories of fibrations inducing subgroup inclusions on the level of fundamental groups. In doing so, we establish new…
We introduce and study the notion of \emph{equivariant homotopic distance} $D_G(f,g)$ between $G$-maps $f,g \colon X \to Y$. We show that the equivariant Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and the equivariant topological complexity are…
We extend the homotopy theories based on point reduction for finite spaces and simplicial complexes to finite acyclic categories and $\Delta$-complexes, respectively. The functors of classifying spaces and face posets are compatible with…
We introduce new foundations for relative topos theory based on stacks. One of the central results in our theory is an adjunction between the category of toposes over the topos of sheaves on a given site $({\mathcal{C}}, J)$ and that of…
In this article we consider the homotopy theory of stratified spaces through a simplicial point of view. We first consider a model category of filtered simplicial sets over some fixed poset $P$, and show that it is a simplicial…
Statistical Topology emerged since topological aspects continue to gain importance in many areas of physics. It is most desirable to study topological invariants and their statistics in schematic models that facilitate the identification of…
We define and develop a homotopy invariant notion for the sequential topological complexity of a map $f:X\to Y,$ denoted $TC_{r}(f)$, that interacts with $TC_{r}(X)$ and $TC_{r}(Y)$ in the same way Jamie Scott's topological complexity map…
In this note we give a characterization of the sectional category of a map between rational spaces in terms of its Koszul-Quillen model.
Reasoning about weak higher categorical structures constitutes a challenging task, even to the experts. One principal reason is that the language of set theory is not invariant under the weaker notions of equivalence at play, such as…
Link homotopy has been an active area of research for knot theorists since its introduction by Milnor in the 1950s. We introduce a new equivalence relation on spatial graphs called component homotopy, which reduces to link homotopy in the…
For a Hausdorff space $X$, we exhibit an unexpected connection between the sectional number of the Fadell-Neuwirth fibration $\pi_{2,1}^X:F(X,2)\to X$, and the fixed point property (FPP) for self-maps on $X$. Explicitly, we demonstrate that…
We define and develop the infrastructure of homotopical inverse diagrams in categories with attributes. Specifically, given a category with attributes $C$ and an ordered homotopical inverse category $I$, we construct the category with…
We define two different versions of the relative De Rham cohomology groups of a diffeological space. Additionally, we study a variant of the Mayer-Vietoris sequence and discuss the existence of a relative cup product. Our approach is…
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…
In this paper we establish a natural definition of Lusternik-Schnirelmann category for simplicial complexes via the well known notion of contiguity. This category has the property of being homotopy invariant under strong equivalences, and…
A symmetric monoidal category naturally arises as the mathematical structure that organizes physical systems, processes, and composition thereof, both sequentially and in parallel. This structure admits a purely graphical calculus. This…
For each object in a tensor triangulated category, we construct a natural continuous map from the object's support---a closed subset of the category's triangular spectrum---to the Zariski spectrum of a certain commutative ring of…
A new categorical setting is defined in order to characterize the subrecursive classes belonging to complexity hierarchies. This is achieved by means of coercion functors over a symmetric monoidal category endowed with certain recursion…
We discuss what it means for a symmetric monoidal category to be a module over a commutative semiring category. Each of the categories of (1) cartesian monoidal categories, (2) semiadditive categories, and (3) connective spectra can be…
The homotopy theory of higher categorical structures has become a relevant part of the machinery of algebraic topology and algebraic K-theory, and this paper contains contributions to the study of the relationship between B\'enabou's…
