We construct a model structure on the category of ordered simplicial complexes, Quillen equivalent to the standard model structure on simplicial sets. This shows that simplicial complexes, which are fully combinatorial in nature, provide a…
We reduce the problem of constructing asymptotically good tree codes to the construction of triangular totally nonsingular matrices over fields with polynomially many elements. We show a connection of this problem to Birkhoff interpolation…
We interpret divided power structures on the homotopy groups of simplicial commutative rings as having a counterpart in divided power structures on chain complexes coming from a non-standard symmetric monoidal structure.
We introduce the notion of directed hereditary species and show that they have associated monoidal decomposition spaces, comodule bialgebras, and operadic categories. The notion subsumes Schmitt's hereditary species, G\'alvez--Kock--Tonks…
Using the ordered analogue of Farley-Sabalka's discrete gradient field on the configuration space of a graph, we unravel a levelwise behavior of the generators of the pure braid group on a tree. This allows us to generalize Farber's…
Given a relation on $ X \times Y $, we can construct two abstract simplicial complexes called Dowker complexes. The geometric realizations of these simplicial complexes are homotopically equivalent. We show that if two relations are…
In this paper, we determine the homotopy type of the Morse complex of certain collections of simplicial complexes by studying dominating vertices or strong collapses. We show that if $K$ contains two leaves that share a common vertex, then…
Rooted, weighted continuum random trees are used to describe limits of sequences of random discrete trees. Formally, they are random quadruples $(\mathcal{T},d,r,p)$, where $(\mathcal{T},d)$ is a tree-like metric space, $r\in\mathcal{T}$ is…
Let $G$ be a 3-connected planar graph. Define the co-tree of a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ as the graph induced by the dual edges of $E(G)-E(T)$. The well-known cut-cycle duality implies that the co-tree is itself a tree. Let a $k$-tree be a…
The Euclidean Directed Spanning Forest is a random forest in $\mathbb{R}^d$ introduced by Baccelli and Bordenave in 2007 and we introduce and study here the analogous tree in the hyperbolic space. The topological properties of the Euclidean…
We consider a model of directed polymers on regular trees with complex-valued random weights introduced by Cook and Derrida [CD90] and studied mathematically by Derrida, Evans and Speer [DES93]. In addition to the usual weak-disorder and…
We continue our study of effective field theory via homotopy transfer of $L_\infty$-algebras, and apply it to tree-level non-Wilsonian effective actions of the kind discussed by Sen in which the modes integrated out are comparable in mass…
Among other results, we prove the following theorem about Steiner minimal trees in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space: if two finite sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ have unique and combinatorially equivalent Steiner minimal trees, then there is a…
A wired tree is a graph obtained from a tree by collapsing the leaves to a single vertex. We describe a pair of short exact sequences relating the sandpile group of a wired tree to the sandpile groups of its principal subtrees. In the case…
Given two finite abstract simplicial complexes A and B, one can define a new simplicial complex on the set of simplicial maps from A to B. After adding two technicalities, we call this complex Homsc(A, B). We prove the following dichotomy:…
We introduce polytopal cell complexes associated with partial acyclic orientations of a simple graph, which generalize acyclic orientations. Using the theory of cellular resolutions, two of these polytopal cell complexes are observed to…
We tackle the problem of a combinatorial classification of finite metric spaces via their fundamental polytopes, as suggested by Vershik in 2010. In this paper we consider a hyperplane arrangement associated to every split pseudometric and,…
A directed space is a topological space $X$ together with a subspace $\vec{P}(X)\subset X^I$ of \emph{directed} paths on $X$. A symmetry of a directed space should therefore respect both the topology of the underlying space and the topology…
A suffix tree is a data structure used mainly for pattern matching. It is known that the space complexity of simple suffix trees is quadratic in the length of the string. By a slight modification of the simple suffix trees one gets the…
We construct forests that span $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq2$, that are stationary and directed, and whose trees are infinite, but for which the subtrees attached to each vertex are as short as possible. For $d\geq3$, two independent copies of…
