In this note, we outline the general development of a theory of symmetric homology of algebras, an analog of cyclic homology where the cyclic groups are replaced by symmetric groups. This theory is developed using the framework of crossed…

We explain how the notion of homotopy colimits gives rise to that of mapping spaces, even in categories which are not simplicial. We apply the technique of model approximations and use elementary properties of the category of spaces to be…

Given an algebraic theory $\ct$, a homotopy $\ct$-algebra is a simplicial set where all equations from $\ct$ hold up to homotopy. All homotopy $\ct$-algebras form a homotopy variety. We give a characterization of homotopy varieties…

Motivic homotopy theory is meant to play the role of algebraic topology, in particular homotopy theory, in the context of algebraic geometry. As proved by Oliver Rondigs and Paul Arne Ostvaer, this theory is closely connected to Voevodsky's…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a central extension of the form $1\to \mathbb{Z}^r\to\Gamma\to \mathbb{Z}^n\to 1$. In this paper we describe the topology of the spaces of homomorphisms $\text{Hom}(\Gamma, U(m))$ and the associated moduli spaces…

In this work, we introduce {\em topological representations of a quiver} as a system consisting of topological spaces and its relationships determined by the quiver. Such a setting gives a natural connection between topological…

This paper studies the homotopy theory of algebras and homotopy algebras over an operad. It provides an exhaustive description of their higher homotopical properties using the more general notion of morphisms called infinity-morphisms. The…

We review the present status of gauge theories built on various quantum space-times described by noncommutative space-times. The mathematical tools and notions underlying their construction are given. Different formulations of gauge theory…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite subgroup of $\SL_2(\C)$. We consider $\Gamma$-fixed point sets in Hilbert schemes of points on the affine plane $\C^2$. The direct sum of homology groups of components has a structure of a representation of the…

The aim of this paper is to show that the most elementary homotopy theory of $\mathbf{G}$-spaces is equivalent to a homotopy theory of simplicial sets over $\mathbf{BG}$, where $\mathbf{G}$ is a fixed group. Both homotopy theories are…

$\Gamma$-conformal algebra is an axiomatic description of the operator product expansion of chiral fields with simple poles at finitely many points. We classify these algebras and their representations in terms of Lie algebras and their…

This paper provides an extensive study of the homotopy theory of types of algebras with units, like unital associative algebras or unital commutative algebras for instance. To this purpose, we endow the Koszul dual category of curved…

We prove several positive results regarding representation of homotopy classes of spheres and algebraic groups by regular mappings. Most importantly we show that every mapping from a sphere to an orthogonal or a unitary group is homotopic…

Some basic notions of classical algebraic geometry can be defined in arbitrary varieties of algebras $\Theta.$ For every algebra $H$ in $\Theta$ one can consider algebraic geometry in $\Theta$ over $ H.$ Correspondingly, algebras in…

We interpret mathematically the pair (master equation, solution of master equation) up to equivalence, as the pair (a presentation of a free triangular dga T over a combination operad O, dga map of T into C, a dga over O) up to homotopy…

This paper studies the existence of model category structures on algebras and modules over operads in monoidal model categories.

Constructions of spectra from symmetric monoidal categories are typically functorial with respect to strict structure-preserving maps, but often the maps of interest are merely lax monoidal. We describe conditions under which one can…

For a spectrum $X$ represented by a special $\Gamma$-space $Y$ via the Segal machine, we give an elementary formula computing the homology groups of $X$ in terms of $Y$. Both the result and the method of proof are essentially due to T.…

We define closed model category structures on different categories connected to the world of operad algebras over the category C(k) of (unbounded) complexes of k-modules: on the category of operads, on the category of algebras over a fixed…

The chapter provides an introduction to the basic concepts of Algebraic Topology with an emphasis on motivation from applications in the physical sciences. It finishes with a brief review of computational work in algebraic topology,…
