The notion of the \emph{homotopy type} of a topological stack has been around in the literature for some time. The basic idea is that an atlas $X \to \mathfrak{X}$ of a stack determines a topological groupoid $\mathbb{X}$ with object space…

We study the homotopy type of spaces of commuting elements in connected nilpotent Lie groups, via almost commuting elements in their Lie algebras. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the fundamental group of such a Lie group $G$…

Consider the quotient $G/B$ of a simple matrix Lie group $G$ by a subgroup $B$ isomorphic to a direct product of some of $S^1$s and $S^3$s such that its adjoint representation can be extended over $G$. Then it naturally inherits a stable…

We establish certain conditions which imply that a map $f:X\to Y$ of topological spaces is null homotopic when the induced integral cohomology homomorphism is trivial; one of them is: $H^*(X)$ and $\pi_*(Y)$ have no torsion and $H^*(Y)$ is…

We give p-local homotopy decompositions of the loop spaces of compact, simply-connected symmetric spaces for quasi-regular primes. The factors are spheres, sphere bundles over spheres, and their loop spaces. As an application, upper bounds…

We describe the relation of $r$-similarity and finite-order invariants on the homotopy set $[S^1,Y]=\pi_1(Y)$.

We consider the holomorphic unramified mapping of two arbitrary finite bordered Riemann surfaces. Extending the map to the doubles $X_1$ and $X_2$ of Riemann surfaces we define the vector bundle on the second double as a direct image of the…

Let $\mathfrak{F}$ be a non-archimedean local field of residue characteristic $p$ and $G$ be one of the groups $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathfrak{F})$, $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathfrak{F})$ or $\mathrm{PGL}_2(\mathfrak{F})$. Let $\mathcal{H}_G$ denote the…

The $L^2$-cohomology of a locally symmetric variety is known to have the topological interpretation as the intersection homology of its Baily-Borel Satake compactification. In this article, we observe that even without the Hermitian…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \geq 3$, and let $G$ be a nontrivial connected reductive affine algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$. Examining the moduli spaces of regularly stable $G$-Higgs bundles and holomorphic…

We study vector-valued Littlewood-Paley-Stein theory for semigroups of regular contractions $\{T_t\}_{t>0}$ on $L_p(\Omega)$ for a fixed $1<p<\infty$. We prove that if a Banach space $X$ is of martingale cotype $q$, then there is a constant…

We say that a space X admits a homology exponent if there exists an exponent for the torsion subgroup of the integral homology. Our main result states if an H-space of finite type admits a homology exponent, then either it is, up to…

We show if $A$ is a finite CW-complex such that algebraic theories detect mapping spaces out of $A$, then $A$ has the homology type of a wedge of spheres of the same dimension. Furthermore, if $A$ is simply connected then $A$ has the…

For a connected based space $X$, let $[X,X]$ be the set of all based homotopy classes of base point preserving self map of $X$ and let $\E(X)$ be the group of self-homotopy equivalences of $X$. We denote by $\A_{\sharp}^k(X)$ the set of…

We show that the classifying space of a $p$-local compact group is approximated by a telescope of classifying spaces of $p$-local finite groups. This result has numerous implications, like a Stable Elements Theorem for $p$-local compact…

We introduce a new class of poset edge labelings for locally finite lattices which we call $SB$-labelings. We prove for finite lattices which admit an $SB$-labeling that each open interval has the homotopy type of a ball or of a sphere of…

A reflective subuniverse in homotopy type theory is an internal version of the notion of a localization in topology or in the theory of $\infty$-categories. Working in homotopy type theory, we give new characterizations of the following…

The quasitopological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{qtop}(X,x_0)$ is the fundamental group endowed with the natural quotient topology inherited from the space of based loops and is typically non-discrete when $X$ does not admit a traditional…

We study the homotopy of the connected sum of a manifold with a projective space, viewed as a typical way to stabilize manifolds. In particular, we show a loop homotopy decomposition of a manifold after stabilization by a projective space,…

We begin the study the algebraic topology of semi-coarse spaces, which are generalizations of coarse spaces that enable one to endow non-trivial `coarse-like' structures to compact metric spaces, something which is impossible in coarse…
