In this investigation of character tables of finite groups we study basic sets and associated representation theoretic data for complementary sets of conjugacy classes. For the symmetric groups we find unexpected properties of characters on…

In recent work, the authors developed a simple method of constructing topological spaces from certain well-behaved partially ordered sets -- those coming from sequences of relations between finite sets. This method associates a given poset…

Motivated by applications in geomorphology, the aim of this paper is to extend Morse-Smale theory from smooth functions to the radial distance function (measured from an internal point), defining a convex polyhedron in 3-dimensional…

Given a smooth closed manifold M, the Morse-Witten complex associated to a Morse function f and a Riemannian metric g on M consists of chain groups generated by the critical points of f and a boundary operator counting isolated flow lines…

The Morse-Smale complex is an important tool for global topological analysis in various problems of computational geometry and topology. Algorithms for Morse-Smale complexes have been presented in case of piecewise linear manifolds.…

We apply the topology of convergence on compact sets to define unpredictable functions [5, 6]. The topology is metrizable and easy for applications with integral operators. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach, the existence and…

The counting function on the natural numbers defines a discrete Morse-Smale complex with a cohomology for which topological quantities like Morse indices, Betti numbers or counting functions for critical points of Morse index are explicitly…

We introduce a refinement of persistent homology that detects simple-homotopy-theoretic phenomena invisible to homology. Given a filtered simplicial complex, we define the Morse complexity profile as the minimal number of critical simplices…

We present extremal constructions connected with the property of simplicial collapsibility. (1) For each $d \ge 2$, there are collapsible (and shellable) simplicial $d$-complexes with only one free face. Also, there are non-evasive…

A weighted simplicial complex is a simplicial complex with values (called weights) on the vertices. In this paper, we consider weighted simplicial complexes with $\mathbb{R}^2$-valued weights. We study the weighted homology and the weighted…

We construct Morse-Smale-Witten complex for an effective orientable orbifold. For a global quotient orbifold, we also construct a Morse-Bott complex. We show that certain type of critical points of a Morse function has to be discarded to…

Given a finite set of points in $\mathbb R^n$ and a radius parameter, we study the \v{C}ech, Delaunay-\v{C}ech, Delaunay (or Alpha), and Wrap complexes in the light of generalized discrete Morse theory. Establishing the \v{C}ech and…

We show that the Morse complex of a compact Lie monoid can be given the structure of an $f$-bialgebra, a chain-level version of bialgebras introduced in [CHM24]; and that this assignment defines an $\infty$-functor. As a consequence, we…
