The main objective of this paper is to show that the homotopy colimit of a diagram of quasi-categories and indexed by a small category is a localization of Lurie's higher Grothendieck construction of the diagram. We thereby generalize…
The state spaces of machines admit the structure of time. A homotopy theory respecting this additional structure can detect machine behavior unseen by classical homotopy theory. In an attempt to bootstrap classical tools into the world of…
We present a new general framework for metrization of Gromov-Hausdorff-type topologies on non-compact metric spaces. We also give easy-to-check conditions for separability and completeness and hence the measure theoretic requirements are…
Our objective in this article is to show a possibly interesting structure of homotopic nature appearing in persistent (co)homology. Assuming that the filtration of the (say) simplicial set embedded in a finite dimensional vector space…
For fibred boundary and fibred cusp metrics, Hausel, Hunsicker, and Mazzeo identified the space of $L^2$ harmonic forms of fixed degree with the images of maps between intersection cohomology groups of an associated stratified space…
A simplicial complex $X$ is said to be tight with respect to a field $\mathbb{F}$ if $X$ is connected and, for every induced subcomplex $Y$ of $X$, the linear map $H_\ast (Y; \mathbb{F}) \rightarrow H_\ast (X; \mathbb{F})$ (induced by the…
In this paper we develop homotopy theoretical methods for studying diagrams. In particular we explain how to construct homotopy colimits and limits in an arbitrary model category. The key concept we introduce is that of a model…
We undertake a systematic study of the notion of fibration in the setting of abstract simplicial complexes, where the concept of `homotopy' has been replaced by that of `contiguity'. Then a fibration will be a simplicial map satisfying the…
This work is a comparative study between the existence of fixed point for homomorphisms in a class of binary relationnal systems and the existence of fixed point for nonexpansive mappings in semimetric spaces.
We develop the theoretical foundations of a generalized Gromov-Hausdorff distance between functions on networks that has recently been applied to various subfields of topological data analysis and optimal transport. These functional…
We study the computational complexity of determining the Hausdorff distance of two polytopes given in halfspace- or vertex-presentation in arbitrary dimension. Subsequently, a matching problem is investigated where a convex body is allowed…
We develop the theory of derived differential geometry in terms of bundles of curved $L_\infty[1]$-algebras, i.e. dg manifolds of positive amplitudes. We prove the category of derived manifolds is a category of fibrant objects. Therefore,…
In the present paper we investigate geometric characteristics of compact metric spaces, which can be described in terms of Gromov-Hausdorff distances to simplexes, i.e., to finite metric spaces such that all their nonzero distances are…
We characterize the Hurewicz cofibrations between finite topological spaces, that is, the continuous functions between finite topological spaces that have the homotopy extension property with respect to all topological spaces. In…
Many important theorems in differential topology relate properties of manifolds to properties of their underlying homotopy types -- defined e.g. using the total singular complex or the \v{C}ech nerve of a good open cover. Upon embedding the…
The parametrization theorem is derived in a flat nD pseudo-complex affine space. The pseudo-complex hyperbolic space accomodates n-number of uncompactified time-like extra dimensions with sugnature (s,r), where s and r are the numbers of…
For any (not necessarily perfect) field $k$ we obtain equivalences of $\infty$-categories \[\mathbf{H}^{\mathrm{fr},\mathrm{gp}}(k)\simeq \mathbf{H}^{\mathrm{fr},\mathrm{gp}}_{\mathrm{zf}}(k) \text{ and }…
We discuss various aspects of "braid spaces'' or configuration spaces of unordered points on manifolds. First we describe how the homology of these spaces is affected by puncturing the underlying manifold, hence extending some results of…
We introduce the notion of local fibration, a generalization of the notion of fibration which takes into account the presence of Grothendieck topologies on the two categories, and show that the classical results about fibrations lift to…
We introduce and study a general concept of multiple fixed point for mappings defined on partially ordered distance spaces in the presence of a contraction type condition and appropriate monotonicity properties. This notion and the obtained…
