Given a compact smooth manifold $M$ with non-empty boundary and a Morse function, a pseudo-gradient Morse-Smale vector field adapted to the boundary allows one to build a Morse complex whose homology is isomorphic to the (absolute or…

We describe structure of quasihomomorphisms from arbitrary groups to discrete groups. We show that all quasihomomorphisms are 'constructible', i.e., are obtained via certain natural operations from homomorphisms to some groups and…

A free-by-cyclic group can often be viewed as a mapping torus of a free group automorphism (monodromy) in multiple ways. What dynamical properties must these monodromies share, and to what extent are they invariant under quasi-isometries?…

In this paper, we study Forman's discrete Morse theory in the context of weighted homology. We develop weighted versions of classical theorems in discrete Morse theory. A key difference in the weighted case is that simplicial collapses do…

We associate to each real algebraic variety a filtered chain complex, the weight complex, which is well-defined up to filtered quasi-isomorphism, and which induces on classical (compactly supported) homology with Z/2 coefficients an analog…

Building on recent work of Robertson and Steger, we associate a C*-algebra to a combinatorial object which may be thought of as a higher rank graph. This C*-algebra is shown to be isomorphic to that of the associated path groupoid.…

Let $K$ be a finite, connected, abstract simplicial complex. The Morse complex of $K$, first introduced by Chari and Joswig, is the simplicial complex constructed from all gradient vector fields on $K$. We show that if $K$ is neither the…

We study the homology of random \v{C}ech complexes generated by a homogeneous Poisson process. We focus on 'homological connectivity' - the stage where the random complex is dense enough, so that its homology "stabilizes" and becomes…

In this paper we present the construction of explicit quasi-isomorphisms that compute the cyclic homology and periodic cyclic homology of crossed-product algebras associated with (discrete) group actions. In the first part we deal with…

We study two simplicial complexes arising from a directed graph $G = (V, E)$ with two chosen vertices $s$ and $t$: the *path-free complex*, consisting of all subsets $F \subseteq E$ that contain no path from $s$ to $t$, and the…

A finitely generated group G is termed parafree if it is residually nilpotent and it has the same isomorphism types of nilpotent quotients as some free group. The two main results of this MSc. Thesis characterise the parafreeness of two…

We introduce the notion of a quasi-matroidal class of ordered simplicial complexes: an approximation to the idea of a matroid cryptomorphism in the landscape of ordered simplicial complexes. A quasi-matroidal class contains pure shifted…

This paper investigates the algebraic structure of additive complementary pairs of cyclic codes over a finite commutative ring. We demonstrate that for every additive complementary pair of additive cyclic codes, both constituent codes are…

We associate a pro-C*-algebra to a pro-C*-correspondence and show that this construction generalizes the construction of crossed products by Hilbert pro-C*-bimodules and the construction of pro-C*-crossed products by strong bounded…

We construct a new class of maximal acyclic matchings on the Salvetti complex of a locally finite hyperplane arrangement. Using discrete Morse theory, we then obtain an explicit proof of the minimality of the complement. Our construction…

The main result of this paper is an explicit construction of the free commutative skew brace -- that is, a skew brace whose circle group is commutative -- on an arbitrary generating set $X$. We embed this object into a set of rational…

We provide a novel framework to compute a discrete vector potential of a given discrete vector field on arbitrary polyhedral meshes. The framework exploits the concept of acyclic matching, a combinatorial tool at the core of discrete Morse…

Let $f:M \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a Morse-Bott function on a finite dimensional closed smooth manifold $M$. Choosing an appropriate Riemannian metric on $M$ and Morse-Smale functions $f_j:C_j \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ on the critical…

Using non-selfadjoint techniques, we establish the Hao-Ng isomorphism for the reduced crossed product and all discrete groups. For the full crossed product an analogous result holds for all discrete groups but the C*-correspondences…

In this paper, we construct cochain complexes generated by the cohomology of critical manifolds in the abstract setup of flow categories for Morse-Bott theories under minimum transversality assumptions. We discuss the relations between…
