In previous work, the first author defined homotopy theories for stratified spaces from a simplicial and a topological perspective. In both frameworks stratified weak-equivalences are detected by suitable generalizations of homotopy links.…

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…

A ringed finite space is a ringed space whose underlying topological space is finite. The category of ringed finite spaces contains, fully faithfully, the category of finite topological spaces and the category of affine schemes. Any ringed…

A test space is the set of outcome-sets associated with a collection of experiments. This notion provides a simple mathematical framework for the study of probabilistic theories -- notably, quantum mechanics -- in which one is faced with…

There are several compactification procedures in topology, but there is only one standard discretization, namely, replacing the original topology with the discrete topology. We give a notion of discretization which is dual (in categorical…

This paper surveys the significant progress over the past couple of decades in the theory of stratified spaces through the application of controlled methods as well as through the application of intersection homology.

In this paper we introduce the notion of a smooth structure on a stratified space, the notion of a Poisson smooth structure and the notion of a weakly symplectic smooth structure on a stratified symplectic space, refining the concept of a…

An Alexandroff space is a topological space in which every intersection of open sets is open. There is one to one correspondence between Alexandroff $T_0$-spaces and partially ordered sets (posets). We investigate Alexandroff…

Let $P$ be a poset. We define a new homotopy theory of suitably nice $P$-stratified topological spaces with equivalences on strata and links inverted. We show that the exit-path construction of MacPherson, Treumann, and Lurie defines an…

Here we classify all topological spaces where all bijections to itself are homeomorphisms. As a consequence, we also classify all topological spaces where all maps to itself are continuous. Analogously, we classify all measurable spaces…

The notion of the \emph{homotopy type} of a topological stack has been around in the literature for some time. The basic idea is that an atlas $X \to \mathfrak{X}$ of a stack determines a topological groupoid $\mathbb{X}$ with object space…

We review the basic definition of a stack and apply it to the topological and smooth settings. We then address two subtleties of the theory: the correct definition of a ``stack over a stack'' and the distinction between small stacks (which…

We consider the simultaneous movement of finitely many colored points in space, calling it a spatial sorting process. The name suggests a purpose that drives the collection to a configuration of increased or decreased order. Mapping such a…

We consider a new stratification of the space of configurations of $n$ marked points on the complex plane. Recall that this space can be differently interpreted as the space $^{\rm D}{\rm Pol}_{n}$ of degree $n>1$ complex, monic polynomials…

We develop the theory of arrangements of spheres. Consider a finite collection of codimension-$1$ subspheres in a positive-dimensional sphere. There are two posets associated with this collection: the poset of faces and the poset of…

The notions of compactness and Hausdorff separation for generalized enriched categories allow us, as classically done for the category $\mathsf{Top}$ of topological spaces and continuous functions, to study $\textit{compactly generated…

A poset can be regarded as a category in which there is at most one morphism between objects, and such that at most one of Hom(c,c') and Hom(c',c) is nonempty for c not equal to c'. If we keep in place the latter axiom but allow for more…

The concept of typed topological space is introduced, for which open sets in a topology on a finite set will be assigned types (from lattice). The neighborhood system of a point, the closure and the connectedness can be defined according to…

Conjugation spaces are topological spaces equipped with an involution such that their fixed points have the same mod $2$ cohomology (as a graded vector space, a ring, and even an unstable algebra) but with all degrees divided by two,…

A theory of bisheaves has been recently introduced to measure the homological stability of fibers of maps to manifolds. A bisheaf over a topological space is a triple consisting of a sheaf, a cosheaf, and compatible maps from the stalks of…
