In this paper, we study various homology cobordism invariants for Seifert fibered integral homology 3-spheres derived from Heegaard Floer homology. Our main tool is lattice homology, a combinatorial invariant defined by Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o…
We compute the higher topological complexity of ordered configuration spaces of orientable surfaces, thus extending Cohen-Farber's description of the ordinary topological complexity of those spaces.
Starting from Borel's description of the mod-2 cohomology of real flag manifolds, we give a minimal presentation of the cohomology ring for semi complete flag manifolds $F_{k,m}:=F(1,\ldots,1,m)$ where $1$ is repeated $k$ times. The…
We prove several new results about the topology of fibers of Gelfand--Zeitlin systems on unitary and orthogonal coadjoint orbits, at the same time finding a unifying framework recovering and shedding light on essentially all known results.…
We establish a direct map between refined topological vertex and sl(N) homological invariants of the of Hopf link, which include Khovanov-Rozansky homology as a special case. This relation provides an exact answer for homological invariants…
We introduce a new measure of complexity (called spectral complexity) for directed graphs. We start with splitting of the directed graph into its recurrent and non-recurrent parts. We define the spectral complexity metric in terms of the…
Given a Liouville manifold, we compute a Floer-homotopical invariant -- the complexification of the lift of symplectic cohomology to complex cobordism -- in terms of a classical Floer-theoretic invariant, namely, symplectic cohomology…
Algebraic topological methods have been used successfully in concurrency theory, the domain of theoretical computer science that deals with distributed computing. L. Fajstrup, E. Goubault, and M. Raussen have introduced partially ordered…
In this paper, we study three relative LS categories of a map and study some of their properties. Then we introduce the `higher topological complexity' and `weak higher topological complexity' of a map. Each of them are homotopy invariants.…
This article belongs to a subject, Directed Algebraic Topology, whose general aim is including non-reversible processes in the range of topology and algebraic topology. Here, as a further step, we also want to cover "critical processes",…
We design a motion planning algorithm to coordinate the movements of two robots along a figure eight track, in such a way that no collisions occur. We use a topological approach to robot motion planning that relates instabilities in motion…
We provide a characterization of two types of directed homology for fully-connected, feedforward neural network architectures. These exact characterizations of the directed homology structure of a neural network architecture are the first…
We introduce new invariants of Hamiltonian fibrations with values in the suitably twisted K-theory of the base. Inspired by techniques of geometric quantization, our invariants arise from the family analytic index of a family of natural…
This paper helps to clarify the status of cylindrical contact homology, a conjectured contact invariant introduced by Eliashberg, Givental, and Hofer in 2000. We explain how heuristic arguments fail to yield a well-defined homological…
Algebraic topological methods have been used successfully in concurrency theory, the domain of theoretical computer science that deals with parallel computing. L. Fajstrup, E. Goubault, and M. Raussen have introduced partially ordered…
In this article we describe relations of the topology of closed 1-forms to the group theoretic invariants of Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz. Starting with a survey, we extend these Sigma invariants to finite CW- complexes and show that many…
We give rigorous foundations for parametrized homotopy theory in this monograph. After preliminaries on point-set topology, base change functors, and proper actions of non-compact Lie groups, we develop the homotopy theory of equivariant…
Many well-known NP-hard algorithmic problems on directed graphs resist efficient parametrisations with most known width measures for directed graphs, such as directed treewidth, DAG-width, Kelly-width and many others. While these focus on…
In Coordinated Motion Planning (CMP), we are given a rectangular-grid on which $k$ robots occupy $k$ distinct starting gridpoints and need to reach $k$ distinct destination gridpoints. In each time step, any robot may move to a neighboring…
This work serves as an opening and basis of an ongoing program investigating topological and geometric aspects of the moduli space of smooth fiberings on a manifold. The present paper focuses on the algebraic and differential topology of…
