We construct "higher" motion planners for automated systems whose space of states are homotopy equivalent to a polyhedral product space $Z(K,\{(S^{k_i},\star)\})$, e.g. robot arms with restrictions on the possible combinations of…

Let $M, N$ be compact Riemannian manifolds. Then, for fixed volume fraction, in the product of a sufficiently small homothetic copy of $M$ with $N$, every isoperimetric region is the product of $M$ with an isoperimetric region in $N$,…

The paper provides a link between ergodic theory and symplectic topology. A classical notion of ergodic theory is a skew product map associated with a loop in a group of transformations. We study skew products which come from loops in the…

In this paper we prove that the quotient of any real or complex moment-angle complex by any closed subgroup in the naturally acting compact torus on it is equivariantly homotopy equivalent to the homotopy colimit of a certain toric diagram.…

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the $p$-local homotopy type of the complex projective Stiefel manifolds, and other analogous quotients of Stiefel manifolds. We take the cue from a result of Yamaguchi about the $p$-regularity…

For a family of polytopes of even dimension $2p$, known as \textit{dual-neighborly}, it has been shown for $p\ne 2$ that the associated intersection of quadrics is a connected sum of sphere products $S^p\times S^p$. In this article we give…

Associated to any manifold equipped with a closed form of degree >1 is an `L-infinity algebra of observables' which acts as a higher/homotopy analog of the Poisson algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold. In order to study Lie group…

For a finite loop $Q$, let $P (Q)$ be the set of elements that can be represented as a product containing each element of $Q$ precisely once. Motivated by the recent proof of the Hall-Paige conjecture, we prove several universal…

A centrally symmetric analogue of the cyclic polytope, the bicyclic polytope, was defined in [BN08]. The bicyclic polytope is defined by the convex hull of finitely many points on the symmetric moment curve where the set of points has a…

We establish a canonical and unique tensor product for commutative monoids and groups in an infinity-category C which generalizes the ordinary tensor product of abelian groups. Using this tensor product we show that E_n-(semi)ring objects…

We describe the Goodwillie calculus of polyhedral products in the case that the fat wedge filtration on the associated real moment-angle complex is trivial. We do this by analysing the behaviour on calculus of the Denham-Suciu fibre…

We find a relation between mixed volumes of several polytopes and the convex hull of their union, deducing it from the following fact: the mixed volume of a collection of polytopes only depends on the product of their support functions…

We give a detailed proof of the homological Arnold conjecture for nondegenerate periodic Hamiltonians on general closed symplectic manifolds $M$ via a direct Piunikhin-Salamon-Schwarz morphism. Our constructions are based on a coherent…

The complement of an arrangement of diagonal subspaces $x_{i_1} = \cdots = x_{i_k}$ in the real space is defined by a simplicial complex $K$. In this paper, we prove that the complement of a diagonal subspace arrangement is homotopy…

On a symplectic manifold $M$, the quantum product defines a complex, one parameter family of flat connections called the A-model or Dubrovin connections. Let $\hbar$ denote the parameter. Associated to them is the quantum $\mathcal{D}$ -…

In part I of this work we studied the spaces of real algebraic cycles on a complex projective space P(V), where V carries a real structure, and completely determined their homotopy type. We also extended some functors in K-theory to…

In this paper we show that any good toric contact manifold has well defined cylindrical contact homology and describe how it can be combinatorially computed from the associated moment cone. As an application we compute the cylindrical…

Let $M$ be the $6$-manifold $M$ as the total space of the sphere bundle of a rank $3$ vector bundle over a simply connected closed $4$-manifold. We show that after looping $M$ is homotopy equivalent to a product of loops on spheres in…

Generalizing a theorem of Macdonald, we show a formula for the mixed Hodge structure on the cohomology of the symmetric products of bounded complexes of mixed Hodge modules by showing the existence of the canonical action of the symmetric…

Using the loop coproduct, Menichi proved that the cup product with the orientation class vanishes for a closed connected oriented manifold with non-trivial Euler characteristic. We generalize this to the sphere spaces, i.e. the mapping…
