We consider two categories related to symplectic manifolds: 1. Objects are symplectic manifolds and morphisms are symplectic embeddings. 2. Objects are symplectic manifolds endowed with compatible almost complex structure and morphisms are…
In this paper, we examine the combinatorial properties of conic arrangements in the complex projective plane that possess certain quasi-homogeneous singularities. First, we introduce a new tool that enables us to characterize the property…
We give a Orlik-Solomon type presentation for the cohomology ring of arrangements in a non-compact abelian Lie group. The new insight consists in comparing arrangements in different abelian groups. Our work is based on the Varchenko-Gelfand…
We give combinatorial models for the homotopy type of complements of elliptic arrangements (i.e., certain sets of abelian subvarieties in a product of elliptic curves). We give a presentation of the fundamental group of such spaces and, as…
We study the homotopy type of the simplicial set of continuous semi-algebraic simplexes of an algebraic variety defined over a real closed field, which we will call the real homotopy type. We prove an analogue of the theorem of Artin-Mazur…
For $n \geq 2$, the $n$-th curvature set of a metric space $X$ is the set consisting of all $n$-by-$n$ distance matrices of $n$ points sampled from $X$. Curvature sets can be regarded as a geometric analogue of configuration spaces. In this…
Given a filter $\Delta$ in the poset of compositions of $n$, we form the filter $\Pi^{*}_{\Delta}$ in the partition lattice. We determine all the reduced homology groups of the order complex of $\Pi^{*}_{\Delta}$ as ${\mathfrak…
This paper proves that the homotopy type of a pointed, simply-connected, 2-reduced simplicial set is determined by the chain-complex augmented by functorial diagonal and higher diagonal maps (a simple generalization of the ones used to…
We develop a hierarchy of semilattice bases (S-bases) for frames. For a given (unbounded) meet-semilattice $A$, we analyze the interval in the coframe of sublocales of the frame of downsets of $A$ formed by all frames with the S-base $A$.…
It is shown that the coset lattice of a finite group has shellable order complex if and only if the group is complemented. Furthermore, the coset lattice is shown to have a Cohen-Macaulay order complex in exactly the same conditions. The…
Through the study of Morse theory on the associated Milnor fiber, we show that complex hyperplane arrangement complements are minimal. That is, the complement of a complex hyperplane arrangement has the homotopy type of a CW complex in…
A mixed lattice is a partially ordered set with two mixed partial orderings that are linked by asymmetric upper and lower envelopes. These notions generalize the join and meet operations of a lattice. In the present paper, we study…
Random shapes arise naturally in many contexts. The topological and geometric structure of such objects is interesting for its own sake, and also for applications. In physics, for example, such objects arise naturally in quantum gravity, in…
Hu, Kriz and May recently reexamined ideas implicit in Priddy's elegant homotopy theoretic construction of the Brown-Peterson spectrum at a prime p. They discussed May's notions of nuclear complexes and of cores of spaces, spectra, and…
In this paper we define a family of topological spaces, which contains and vastly generalizes the higher-dimensional Dunce hats. Our definition is purely combinatorial, and is phrased in terms of identifications of boundary simplices of…
It could be expected that the moment-angle complex associated with a Golod simplicial complex is homotopy equivalent to a suspension space. In this paper, we provide a counter example to this expectation. We have discovered this complex…
The concept of a sectionally pseudocomplemented lattice was introduced by I. Chajda as an extension of relative pseudocomplementation for not necessarily distributive lattices. The typical example of such a lattice is the non-modular…
We show that the independence complexes of generalised Mycielskian of complete graphs are homotopy equivalent to a wedge sum of spheres, and determine the number of copies and the dimensions of these spheres. We also prove that the…
We prove that 2-dimensional simplicial complexes whose first homology group is trivial have topological embeddings in 3-space if and only if there are embeddings of their link graphs in the plane that are compatible at the edges and they…
We introduce the poset of biflats of a matroid $M$, a Lagrangian analog of the lattice of flats of $M$, and study the topology of its order complex, which we call the biflats complex. This work continues the study of the Lagrangian…
