Topological complexity $\TC{B}$ of a space $B$ is introduced by M. Farber to measure how much complex the space is, which is first considered on a configuration space of a motion planning of a robot arm. We also consider a stronger version…

Higher Homotopy van Kampen Theorems allow the computation as colimits of certain homotopical invariants of glued spaces. One corollary is to describe homotopical excision in critical dimensions in terms of induced modules and crossed…

In order to treat multiplicative phenomena in twisted (co)homology, we introduce a new point-set level framework for parametrized homotopy theory. We provide a convolution smash product that descends to the corresponding…

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…

The topological classification of gapped band structures depends on the particular definition of topological equivalence. For translation-invariant systems, stable equivalence is defined by a lack of restrictions on the numbers of occupied…

Many of the properties of sectional category, topological complexity and homotopic distance are in fact derived from a small number of basic properties, which, once established, lead to all the others without further recourse to topology.…

In this paper we define and study a notion of discrete homology theory for metric spaces. Instead of working with simplicial homology, our chain complexes are given by Lipschitz maps from an $n$-dimensional cube to a fixed metric space. We…

The concept of homotopic distance and its higher analog are introduced in [6]. In this paper we introduce some important properties of higher homotopic distance, investigate the conditions under which $\cat$, $\secat$ and higher dimensional…

This short note introduces a notion of directed homotopy equivalence and of "directed" topological complexity (which elaborates on the notion that can be found in e.g. Farber's book) which have a number of desirable joint properties. In…

The main result of this paper gives a new construction of extremal K\"ahler metrics on the total space of certain holomorphic submersions, giving a vast generalisation and unification of results of Hong, Fine and others. The principal new…

We give an alternative treatment of the foundations of parametrized spectra, with an eye toward applications in fixed-point theory. We cover most of the central results from the book of May and Sigurdsson, sometimes with weaker hypotheses,…

We obtain combinatorial model categories of parametrised spectra, together with systems of base change Quillen adjunctions associated to maps of parameter spaces. We work with simplicial objects and use Hovey's sequential and symmetric…

In this paper, we systematically study the $m$-dimensional sectional category of a fibration, introduced by Schwarz, as an approximating invariant for the sectional category. We develop the basic theory of this invariant, establish its…

Multiparameter persistent homology has emerged as a powerful generalization of topological data analysis, capable of encoding multivariate filtrations. However, the algebraic complexity of multiparameter persistence modules, marked by wild…

We establish an upper bound for the cochain type level of the total space of a pull-back fibration. It explains to us why the numerical invariant for a principal bundle over the sphere are less than or equal to two. Moreover computational…

We introduce a nested sequence of monoids related to self-homotopy equivalences of fibrewise pointed spaces, such that the limit is the group of homotopy classes of fibrewise pointed self-equivalences. We explore this monoid for the fibred…

Persistent Topology studies topological features of shapes by analyzing the lower level sets of suitable functions, called filtering functions, and encoding the arising information in a parameterized version of the Betti numbers, i.e. the…
