We consider the problem of classifying trajectories on a discrete or discretised 2-dimensional manifold modelled by a simplicial complex. Previous works have proposed to project the trajectories into the harmonic eigenspace of the Hodge…

A well-known property of unordered configuration spaces of points (in an open, connected manifold) is that their homology stabilises as the number of points increases. We generalise this result to moduli spaces of submanifolds of higher…

We show that the homology of strata of abelian differentials stabilizes in a range where the number of simple zeros is large relative to the homological degree. In this range, we show that the rational cohomology agrees with the restriction…

We adapt algorithms for resolving the singularities of complex algebraic varieties to prove that the natural map of homology theories from complex bordism to the bordism theory of complex derived orbifolds splits. In equivariant stable…

The aim of this work is to study a kind of refinement of the entropy conjecture, in the context of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with one dimensional central direction, of d-dimensional torus. We start by establishing a connection…

We characterize in simple terms the Pak-Stanley labels $\lambda(R)$ of the regions $R$ of the $m$-Catalan arrangement. We also propose a simple algorithm that returns $R$ from $\lambda(R)$. Finally, we characterize in close terms the labels…

We investigate the poset of strata of a Schubert-like stratification of certain natural compactification of the space of hermitian $n\times n$ matrices. We prove that this poset is a modular ortholattice, we compute its M\"{o}bius function…

We study the space $\nua{m}{d}$ of clouds in $\bbr^d$ (ordered sets of $m$ points modulo the action of the group of affine isometries). We show that $\nua{m}{d}$ is a smooth space, stratified over a certain hyperplane arrangement in…

We prove that the space of complex irreducible polynomials of degree $d$ in $n$ variables satisfies two forms of homological stability: first, its cohomology stabilizes as $d$ increases, and second, its compactly supported cohomology…

A $k$-differential on a Riemann surface is a section of the $k$-th power of the canonical line bundle. Loci of $k$-differentials with prescribed number and multiplicities of zeros and poles form a natural stratification of the moduli space…

In this paper, we study the stability of matrix polynomials under structured perturbations of their coefficients. More precisely, we consider a family of matrix polynomials \[…

Invariants for Riemann surfaces covered by the disc and for hyperbolic manifolds in general involving minimizing the measure of the image over the homotopy and homology classes of closed curves and maps of the $k$-sphere into the manifold…

Multistring vertices and the overlap identities which they satisfy are exploited to understand properties of hyperbolic Kac Moody algebras, and $E_{10}$ in particular. Since any such algebra can be embedded in the larger Lie algebra of…

The augmented moduli space is a compactification of moduli space M_n obtained by adding stable hyperbolic surfaces. The different topological types of the added stable surfaces produces a stratification of the boundary of M_n . Let P_n be…

Symmetry plays an important role in the topological band theory to remedy the eigenstates' gauge obstruction at the cost of a symmetry anomaly and zero-energy boundary modes. One can also make use of the symmetry to enumerate the…

A stratified space is a kind of topological space together with a partition into smooth manifolds. These kinds of spaces naturally arise in the study of singular algebraic varieties, symplectic reduction, and differentiable stacks. In this…

Let $(\Sigma,p)$ be a pointed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 1$. For any integer $k\geq 1$, we parametrize the space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on $\Sigma$ with a pole of order $(k+2)$ at $p$, having a connected critical graph…

We apply topological methods to study the smallest non-zero number $\lambda_1$ in the spectrum of the Laplacian on finite area hyperbolic surfaces. For closed hyperbolic surfaces of genus two we show that the set $\{S \in {\mathcal{M}_2}:…
