We study higher limits over the centric orbit category of a fusion system realized by an amalgamated product. In so doing we provide a novel technique for studying the Diaz-Park sharpness conjecture and prove it (in the case of the…
We study the D\'iaz-Park sharpness conjecture for fusion systems and prove that, under certain circumstances, there exists a 4 terms exact sequence relating the first two higher limits of the contravariant part of a Mackey functor over…
We develop tools to prove D\'iaz and Park's sharpness conjecture (see [8]) for fusion systems admitting tame families of fusion subsystems (see Theorem A). We use such tools to prove the conjecture for all Benson-Solomon fusion systems (see…
We extend Dwyer's sharp subgroup homology decomposition of the classifying space of a finite group to arbitrary saturated fusion systems and arbitrary Mackey functors.
We develop the fundamentals of Mackey functors in the setup of fusion systems including an acyclicity condition as well as a parametrization and an explicit description of simple Mackey functors. Using this machinery we extend Dwyer's…
We study here the higher derived limits of mod $p$ cohomology on the centric orbit category of a saturated fusion system on a finite $p$-group. It is an open problem whether all such higher limits vanish. This is known in many cases,…
The fusion orbit category $\overline{\mathcal F _{\mathcal C}} (G)$ of a discrete group $G$ over a collection $\mathcal C$ is the category whose objects are the subgroups $H$ in $\mathcal C$, and whose morphisms $H \to K$ are given by the…
We study the higher derived functors of the inverse limit of a functor F: D --> Z_{(p)}-mod, where D is one of the standard categories which arise when studying the homotopy theory of the classifying space of a finite group G, e.g., the…
We show that Shipley's "detection functor" for symmetric spectra generalizes to motivic symmetric spectra. As an application, we construct motivic strict ring spectra representing morphic cohomology, semi-topological $K$-theory, and…
We prove the conjecture that exotic and block-exotic fusion systems coincide holds for all fusion systems on exceptional $p$-groups of maximal nilpotency class, where $p \geq 5$. This is done by considering a family of exotic fusion systems…
The dimensionality of the Hilbert space of a Chern-Simons theory on a 3-fold, in the presence of Wilson lines carrying spin representations, had been counted by using its link with the Wess-Zumino theory, with level $k$, on the 2-sphere…
Homology decomposition techniques are a powerful tool used in the analysis of the homotopy theory of (classifying) spaces. The associated Bousfield-Kan spectral sequences involve higher derived limits of the inverse limit functor. We study…
This paper examines $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifolds as semiformal homogeneity structures, comparing two polynomial filtrations from their local models. In finite dimensions, these are componentwise equivalent, yielding isomorphic graded…
This is the second installment in a series of papers applying descriptive set theoretic techniques to both analyze and enrich classical functors from homological algebra and algebraic topology. In it, we show that the \v{C}ech cohomology…
Mixed integer set representations, and specifically hybrid zonotopes, have enabled new techniques for reachability and verification of nonlinear and hybrid systems. Mixed-integer sets which have the property that their convex relaxation is…
We develop a new technique for computing higher limits of functors over filtered posets by constructing explicit fibrant replacements within a suitable model category structure. We apply this procedure to develop two systematic vanishing…
We relate the construction of groups which realize saturated fusion systems and signaliser functors with homology decompositions of p-local finite groups. We prove that the cohomology ring of Robinson's construction is in some precise sense…
The Cohn-Elkies linear program for sphere packing, which was used to solve the 8 and 24 dimensional cases, is conjectured to not be sharp in any other dimension $d>2$. By mapping feasible points of this infinite-dimensional linear program…
We give a framework to produce constructible functions from natural functors between categories, without need of a morphism of moduli spaces to model the functor. We show using the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence that any natural (derived)…
The paper describes the algebraic structure of the graded algebra of differentially homogeneous polynomials of fixed finite order. We show that it is a finitely generated algebra, and we exhibit a minimal set of generators. Along the way,…
