We study a spectral sequence that computes the (mod 2) S^1-equivariant homology of the free loop space LM of a manifold M (the "string homology" of M). Using it and knowledge of the string topology operations on the homology of LM, we…
The based loop space of a configuration space of points in a Euclidean space can be viewed as a space of pure braids in a Euclidean space of one dimension higher. We continue our study of such spaces in terms of Kontsevich's CDGA of…
The dynamics of large complex systems are predominately modeled through pairwise interactions, the principle underlying structure being a network of the form of a digraph or quiver. Significant success has been obtained in applying the…
The motivation of this work is to define cohomology classes in the space of knots that are both easy to find and to evaluate, by reducing the problem to simple linear algebra. We achieve this goal by defining a combinatorial graded cochain…
We present an algebraic characterization of the complexity classes Logspace and NLogspace, using an algebra with a composition law based on unification. This new bridge between unification and complexity classes is inspired from proof…
By general case we mean methods able to process simplicial sets and chain complexes not of finite type. A filtration of the object to be studied is the heart of both subjects persistent homology and spectral sequences. In this paper we…
In this short note we observe that the higher topological complexity of an iterated connected sum of real projective spaces is maximal possible. Unlike the case of regular TC, the result is accessible through easy mod 2 zero-divisor…
Given a simplicial complex $X$, we construct a simplicial complex $\Omega X$ that may be regarded as a combinatorial version of the based loop space of a topological space. Our construction explicitly describes the simplices of $\Omega X$…
Consider a local chain Differential Graded algebra, such as the singular chain complex of a pathwise connected topological group. In two previous papers, a number of homological results were proved for such an algebra: An Amplitude…
We characterize Hopf spaces with finitely generated cohomology as an algebra over the Steenrod algebra. We "deconstruct" the original space into an H-space Y with finite mod p cohomology and a finite number of p-torsion Eilenberg-Mac Lane…
We reformulate the monodromy relations of open-string scattering amplitudes as boundary terms of twisted homologies on the configuration spaces of Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. This allows us to write explicit linear relations…
A spectral sequence is defined which converges to the \v{C}ech cohomology of the Euclidean hull of a tiling of the plane with Euclidean finite local complexity. The terms of the second page are determined by the so-called ePE homology and…
In this paper, we introduce and study representation homology of topological spaces, which is a natural homological extension of representation varieties of fundamental groups. We give an elementary construction of representation homology…
This thesis consists of two main parts. In the second part, we recall how a description of local coefficients that Eilenberg introduced in the 1940s leads to spectral sequences for the computation of homology and cohomology with local…
Cohomology operations (including the cohomology ring) of a geometric object are finer algebraic invariants than the homology of it. In the literature, there exist various algorithms for computing the homology groups of simplicial complexes…
In the theory of configuration spaces, "splitting" usually refers to the phenomenon that the configuration spaces on a manifold and those on its punctured version are closely related cohomologically. We prove a splitting theorem that is…
The evaluation of iterated primitives of powers of logarithms is expressed in closed form. The expressions contain polynomials with coefficients given in terms of the harmonic numbers and their generalizations. The logconcavity of these…
We study the homology groups of the complement of a complexified real line arrangement with coefficients in complex rank-one local systems. Using Borel--Moore homology, we establish an algorithm computing their dimensions via the real…
We explain the algebra needed to make sense of the log signature of a path, with plenty of examples. We show how the log signature can be calculated numerically, and explain some software tools which demonstrate it.
It is well known since Stasheff's work that 1-fold loop spaces can be described in terms of the existence of higher homotopies for associativity (coherence conditions) or equivalently as algebras of contractible non-symmetric operads. The…
