Forman introduced discrete Morse theory as a tool for studying CW complexes by essentially collapsing them onto smaller, simpler-to-understand complexes of critical cells in [Fo]. Chari reformulated discrete Morse theory for regular cell…

We prove that the isomorphism problem for separable nuclear C*-algebras is complete in the class of orbit equivalence relations. In fact, already the isomorphism of simple, separable AI C*-algebras is a complete orbit equivalence relation.…

We present a family of complete acyclic Morse matchings on the face lattice of a hypersimplex. Since a hypersimplex is a convex polytope, there is a natural way to form a CW complex from its faces. In a future paper we will utilize these…

Let $\text{Ch}$ be the category of (possibly unbounded) chain complexes of abelian groups. In this note we construct the standard Quillen model structure on $\text{Ch}$, by a method that is somewhat different from the standard one.…

Chessboard complexes and their generalizations, as objects, and Discrete Morse theory, as a tool, are presented as a unifying theme linking different areas of geometry, topology, algebra and combinatorics. Edmonds and Fulkerson bottleneck…

An algebraic description of basic discrete symmetries (space inversion P, time reversal T, charge conjugation C and their combinations PT, CP, CT, CPT) is studied. Discrete subgroups {1,P,T,PT} of orthogonal groups of multidimensional…

We introduce a theoretical and computational framework to use discrete Morse theory as an efficient preprocessing in order to compute zigzag persistent homology. From a zigzag filtration of complexes $(K_i)$, we introduce a zigzag Morse…

Using recent results in mathematics, I point out that free energies and scale-dependent central charges away from criticality can be represented in compact form where modular invariance is manifest. The main example is the near-critical…

Let $F/F_0$ be a quadratic extension of totally real number fields, and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $F$ which is isogenous to its Galois conjugate over $F_0$. A quadratic extension $M/F$ is said to be almost totally complex (ATC) if…

We present a new approach to cyclic homology that does not involve the Connes differential and is based on a `noncommutative equivariant de Rham complex' of an associative algebra. The differential in that complex is a sum of the Karoubi-de…

A C-symplectic structure is a complex-valued 2-form which is holomorphically symplectic for an appropriate complex structure. We prove an analogue of Moser's isotopy theorem for families of C-symplectic structures and list several…

The celebrated Borel--Tits theorem provides a classification of abstract isomorphisms between (simple) isotropic groups over fields, showing that such isomorphisms arise from field isomorphisms and group-scheme isomorphisms. In this work,…

We provide a detailed study of topological and combinatorial properties of sectionable tournaments. This class forms an inductively constructed family of tournaments grounded over simply disconnected tournaments, those tournaments whose…

In the paper we first construct a new cotorsion pair, in the category of chain complexes, from two given cotorsion pairs in the category of modules, and then we consider completeness of such pairs under certain conditions.

In the case of smooth manifolds, we use Forman's discrete Morse theory to realize combinatorially any Thom-Smale complex coming from a smooth Morse function by a couple triangulation-discrete Morse function. As an application, we prove that…

We have calculated the next-to-leading order cross section for the inclusive production of charm quarks as a function of the transverse momentum p_T and the rapidity in two approaches using massive or massless charm quarks. For the…

We develop a discrete Morse theory for open simplicial complexes $K=X\setminus T$ where $X$ is a simplicial complex and $T$ a subcomplex of $X$. A discrete Morse function $f$ on $K$ gives rise to a discrete Morse function on the order…

We introduce the notion of set-decomposition of a normal G-flat chain. We show that any normal rectifiable $G$-flat chain admits a decomposition in set-indecomposable sub-chains. This generalizes the decomposition of sets of finite…

We give a geometric proof of a well known theorem that describes splittings of a free group as an amalgamated product or HNN extension over the integers. The argument generalizes to give a similar description of splittings of a virtually…

Discrete Morse theory has emerged as a powerful tool for a wide range of problems, including the computation of (persistent) homology. In this context, discrete Morse theory is used to reduce the problem of computing a topological invariant…
