Consider the mod 2 homology spectral sequence associated to a cosimplicial space X. We construct external operations whose target is the spectral sequence associated to E\Sigma_2 \times_{\Sigma_2} (X\times X). If X is a cosimplicial…
Let $X$ be a homogeneous space of a connected linear algebraic group $G$ defined over the field of complex numbers $\mathbb C$. Let $x\in X({\mathbb C})$ be a point. We denote by $H$ the stabilizer of $x$ in $G$. When $H$ is connected, we…
Topological spaces - such as classifying spaces, configuration spaces and spacetimes - often admit extra temporal structure. Qualitative invariants on such directed spaces often are more informative yet more difficult to calculate than…
We prove that any arithmetic locally symmetric space is homotopy equivalent to a simplicial complex where the number of simplices is bounded linearly in the volume of the space. This settles a well-known conjecture of Gelander. The main…
Equifacetal simplices, all of whose codimension one faces are congruent to one another, are studied. It is shown that the isometry group of such a simplex acts transitively on its set of vertices, and, as an application, equifacetal…
We consider simplicial sets equipped with a notion of smallness, and observe that this slight "topological" extension of the "algebraic" simplicial language allows a concise reformulation of a number of classical notions in topology, e.g.…
For a topologically complete space $X$ and a family of closed covers $\mathcal A$ of $X$ satisfying a "local refinement condition" and a "completeness condition," we give a construction of an inverse system $\mathbf{ N}_{\mathcal A}$ of…
This paper introduces a model that identifies spatial relationships for a structural analysis based on the concept of simplicial complex. The spatial relationships are identified through overlapping two map layers, namely a primary layer…
We construct for any algebra over an operad an Hochschild chain complex. In the case of the singular cochain complex of a topological space, considered as a commutative algebra up to homotopy, we show that this complex computes the singular…
The topological properties of a set have a strong impact on its computability properties. A striking illustration of this idea is given by spheres and closed manifolds: if a set $X$ is homeomorphic to a sphere or a closed manifold, then any…
We construct new geometric realizations of simplicial and pre-simplicial sets where the standard $n$-simplex, viewed as the space of probability measures on $n+1$ elements, is replaced by the space of $(n+1)$-valued random variables, with…
Interactions in complex systems are widely observed across various fields, drawing increased attention from researchers. In mathematics, efforts are made to develop various theories and methods for studying the interactions between spaces.…
We introduce a new `geometric realization' of an (abstract) simplicial complex, inspired by probability theory. This space (and its completion) is a metric space, which has the right (weak) homotopy type, and which can be compared with the…
We introduce higher simplicial complexity of a simplicial complex $K$ and higher combinatorial complexity of a finite space $P$ (i.e. $P$ is a finite poset). We relate higher simplicial complexity with higher topological complexity of $|K|$…
The symmetric group on a set acts transitively on its subsets of a given size. We define homomorphisms between the corresponding permutation modules, defined over a field of characteristic two, which generalize the boundary maps from…
A topology on a set $X$ is the same as a projection (i.e. an idempotent linear operator) $cl:2^X\to 2^X$ satisfying $A\subset cl(A)$ for all $A\subset X$. That's a good way to summarize Kuratowski's closure operator. Basic geometry on a set…
Simplicial complexes constitute the underlying topology of interacting complex systems including among the others brain and social interaction networks. They are generalized network structures that allow to go beyond the framework of…
The alpha complex is a subset of the Delaunay triangulation and is often used in computational geometry and topology. One of the main drawbacks of using the alpha complex is that it is non-monotone, in the sense that if ${\cal…
Collective Adaptive Systems often consist of many heterogeneous components typically organised in groups. These entities interact with each other by adapting their behaviour to pursue individual or collective goals. In these systems, the…
We introduce the abstract notion of a closed necklical set in order to describe a functorial combinatorial model of the free loop fibration $\Omega Y\rightarrow \Lambda Y\rightarrow Y$ over the geometric realization $Y=|X|$ of a path…
