In \cite{CompTheo} we studied the indeterminacy of the value of a derived functor at an object using different definitions of a derived functor and different types of fibrant replacement. In the present work we focus on derived or homotopy…

We recall a group-theoretic description of the first non-vanishing homotopy group of a certain (n+1)-ad of spaces and show how it yields several formulae for homotopy and homology groups of specific spaces. In particular we obtain an…

Let $S$ be a complete flat surface, such as the Euclidean plane. We determine the homeomorphism class of the space of all curves on $S$ which start and end at given points in given directions and whose curvatures are constrained to lie in a…

The aim of this paper is to show how the homotopy type of compact metric spaces can be reconstructed by the inverse limit of an inverse sequence of finite approximations of the corresponding space. This recovering allows us to define…

Edge-homotopy and vertex-homotopy are equivalence relations on spatial graphs which are generalizations of Milnor's link-homotopy. We introduce some edge (resp. vertex)-homotopy invariants of spatial graphs by applying the Sato-Levine…

This article has been withdrawn due to an error in a proof of the main result.

The question of whether a given H-space X is, up to homotopy, a loop space has been studied from a variety of viewpoints. Here we address this question from the aspect of homotopy operations, in the classical sense of operations on homotopy…

This is a chapter for a planned collective volume entitled "New spaces in mathematics and physics" (M. Anel, G. Catren Eds.). The first part contains a short formal exposition of supergeometry as it is understood by mathematicians. The…

Given a perversity function in the sense of intersection homology theory, the method of intersection spaces assigns to certain oriented stratified spaces cell complexes whose ordinary reduced homology with real coefficients satisfies…

An appropriate framework is put forward for the construction of $\lambda$-models with $\infty$-groupoid structure, which we call \textit{homotopic $\lambda$-models}, through the use of an $\infty$-category with cartesian closure and enough…

We provide three new examples of twisted Hilbert spaces by considering properties that are "close" to Hilbert. We denote them $Z(\mathcal J)$, $Z(\mathcal S^2)$ and $Z(\mathcal T_s^2)$. The first space is asymptotically Hilbertian but not…

We give a particular choice of the higher Eilenberg-MacLane maps by a recursive formula.This choice leads to a simple description of the homotopy operations for simplicial Z/2-algebras.

One proves that the category of globular CW-complexes up to dihomotopy is equivalent to the category of flows up to weak dihomotopy. This theorem generalizes the classical theorem which states that the category of CW-complexes up to…

Using the language of homotopy type theory (HoTT), we 1) prove a synthetic version of the classification theorem for covering spaces, and 2) explore the existence of canonical change-of-basepoint isomorphisms between homotopy groups. There…

For Gamma a finite, connected metric graph, we consider the space of configurations of n points in Gamma with a restraint parameter r dictating the minimum distance allowed between each pair of points. These restricted configuration spaces…

We investigate one-point reduction methods of finite topological spaces. These methods allow one to study homotopy theory of cell complexes by means of elementary moves of their finite models. We also introduce the notion of h-regular…

This paper has been withdraw by the authors. An enlarged and complete analysis of the constraints is presented in hep-th/9910163. It includes also relativistic particles and strings. The non-relativistic particle quantization has been…

We present an intrinsic and concrete development of the subdivision of small categories, give some simple examples and derive its fundamental properties. As an application, we deduce an alternative way to compare the homotopy categories of…

We study the homotopy theory of locally ordered spaces, that is manifolds with boundary whose charts are partially ordered in a compatible way. Their category is not particularly well-behaved with respect to colimits. However, this category…
