This paper studies a notion of directed homology for preordered spaces, called the homology digraph. We show that the homology digraph is a directed homotopy invariant and establish variants of the main results of ordinary singular homology…

We study deformations of complex projective varieties that are homotopically or homologically trivial. We formulate several conjectures and give some examples and partial answers.

We demonstrate that the proper homotopy equivalence relation for locally finite graphs is Borel complete. Furthermore, among the infinite graphs, there is a comeager equivalence class. As corollaries, we obtain the analogous results for the…

We show that the category of graphs has the structure of a 2-category with homotopy as the 2-cells. We then develop an explicit description of homotopies for finite graphs, in terms of what we call `spider moves'. We then create a category…

It is known algebraically that any abelian group is a direct sum of a divisible group and a reduced group (See Theorem 21.3 of \cite{Fuchs:abelian-group}). In this paper, conditions to split off rational parts in homotopy types from a given…

We recall a group-theoretic description of the first non-vanishing homotopy group of a certain (n+1)-ad of spaces and show how it yields several formulae for homotopy and homology groups of specific spaces. In particular we obtain an…

A homotopy theoretic description is given for trivial unit conjecture in the group ring ZG.

We show that both Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and topological complexity are particular cases of a more general notion, that we call homotopic distance between two maps. As a consequence, several properties of those invariants can be…

We characterise the set of fundamental groups for which there exist $n$-manifolds that are $h$-cobordant (hence homotopy equivalent) but not simple homotopy equivalent, when $n$ is sufficiently large. In particular, for $n \ge 12$ even, we…

We introduce the persistent homotopy type distance dHT to compare real valued functions defined on possibly different homotopy equivalent topological spaces. The underlying idea in the definition of dHT is to measure the minimal shift that…

Normal maps between discrete groups $N\rightarrow G$ were characterized [FS] as those which induce a compatible topological group structure on the homotopy quotient $EN\times_N G$. Here we deal with topological group (or loop) maps…

This paper considers non-Abelian homology groups of a group diagram introduced as homotopy groups of a simplicial change. We prove a theorem stating that the non-Abelian homology groups of a group diagram are isomorphic to the homotopy…

We study the irreducible components of special loci of curves whose group of symmetries is given as certain group extension. We introduce some relative Hurwitz data, which we show by using mixed \'etale cohomology theory, identifies some…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group with $\pi_1(G)\cong\mathbb{Z}$. We study the homotopy types of gauge groups of principal $G$-bundles over Riemann surfaces. This can be applied to an explicit computation of the homotopy groups of…

For each positive integer Q there exists a path connected metric compactum X such that the Qth-homotopy group of X is compactly generated but not a topological group (with the quotient topology).

We calculate the higher homotopy groups of the Deligne-Getzler infinity-groupoid associated to a nilpotent L-infinity algebra. As an application, we present a new approach to the rational homotopy theory of mapping spaces.

We study the homology of an explicit finite-index subgroup of the automorphism group of a partially commutative group, in the case when its defining graph is a tree. More concretely, we give a lower bound on the first Betti number of this…

Directed graphs can be studied by their associated directed flag complex. The homology of this complex has been successful in applications as a topological invariant for digraphs. Through comparison with path homology theory, we derive a…

We introduce two new algebraic invariants, the (co)homological distances between continuous maps, which provide computable lower bounds for the homotopic distance and strictly refine the classical cup-length estimates. We then define the…

We analyse the homotopy types of gauge groups of principal U(n)-bundles associated to pseudo Real vector bundles in the sense of Atiyah. We provide satisfactory homotopy decompositions of these gauge groups into factors in which the…
