We covariantize calculations over the manifold of phase space, establishing Stokes' theorem for differential cross sections and providing new definitions of familiar observable properties like infrared and collinear safety. Through the…
We give a geometric method for determining the cohomology groups of a polyhedral product under suitable freeness conditions or with coefficients taken in a field. This is done by considering first the special case for which the pairs of…
We show that the product of any number of sequentially pseudocompact topological spaces is still sequentially pseudocompact. The definition of sequential pseudocompactness can be given in (at least) two ways: we show their equivalence. Some…
We generalise the fold map for the wedge sum and use this to give a loop space decomposition of topological spaces with a high degree of symmetry. This is applied to polyhedral products to give a loop space decomposition of polyhedral…
Two homotopy decompositions of supensions of spaces involving polyhedral products are given. The first decomposition is motivated by the decomposition of suspensions of polyhedral products by Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen, and Gitler, and is a…
Configuration space integrals have in recent years been used for studying the cohomology of spaces of (string) knots and links in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $n>3$ since they provide a map from a certain differential algebra of diagrams to the…
This note attempts to make clear the relation between configurations of points in a space Y and those in its Cartesian product with the reals. We show that under certain conditions there is an equivalence between C(Y x R^n, X) and the n-th…
In this paper, we compute the cohomology ring of all homology split polyhedral product spaces and the cohomology algebra over a field of all polyhedral product spaces. As an application, we give two polyhedral product spaces such that all…
We prove a homological stability theorem for certain complements of symmetric spaces. This is a variant of a conjecture by Vakil and Matchett Wood for subspaces of $\mathrm{Sym}^n(X)$ where $X$ is an open manifold admitting a boundary. To…
Dualising the construction of a polyhedral product, we introduce the notion of a polyhedral coproduct as a certain homotopy limit over the face poset of a simplicial complex. We begin a study of the basic properties of polyhedral…
The spectral representation is an effecient tool to explore electrical properties of material mixtures. It separates the contributions of geometrical topology and intrinsic properties of the constituents in the system. The aim of this paper…
Spaces of quasi-invariant measures supplied with different topologies are studied. Their embeddings, projective decompositions, conditions for their metrizability are investigated. Theorems about convergence of nets of quasi-invariant…
The primary algebraic model of a ring spectrum is the ring of homotopy groups. We introduce the secondary model which has the structure of a secondary analogue of a ring. This new algebraic model determines Massey products and cup-one…
In this paper, we present a characterization of compact quantum metric spaces in terms of finite dimensional approximations. This characterization naturally leads to the introduction of a matrix analogue of a compact quantum metric space.…
The classifying spaces of cobordisms of singular maps have two fairly different constructions. We expose a homotopy theoretical connection between them. As a corollary we show that the classifying spaces in some cases have a simple product…
Let $G$ be a finite 2-group of maximal nilpotency class, and let $BG$ be its classifying space. We prove that iterated Massey products in $H^*(BG;\F_2)$ do characterize the homotopy type of $BG$ among 2-complete spaces with the same…
Closed (and simply-connected) manifolds whose dimensions are larger than 4 are central geometric objects in classical algebraic topology and differential topology. They have been classified via algebraic and abstract objects. On the other…
This is a review paper about symmetric products of spaces $SP^n(X):= X^n/S_n$. We focus our attention on the symmetric products of 2-manifolds and make a journey through selected topics of algebraic topology, algebraic geometry,…
A method of computation of its terms is presented together with some stabilization results. As an application a characterization of symplectic harmonic manifolds is given and a relationship with the C-spectral sequence is indicated.
Given based cellular spaces X and Y, X compact, we define a sequence of increasingly fine equivalences on the based-homotopy set [X,Y].
