For any L-infinity algebra L, we construct an A-infinity structure on the space of symmetric tensors Sym*(L), which generalizes the classical universal enveloping for Lie algebras. Our construction is based on an invariant homotopy on a…

We compute the topological simple structure set of closed manifolds which occur as total spaces of flat bundles over lens spaces S^l/(Z/p) with fiber an n-dimensjional torus T^n for an odd prime p and l greater or equal to 3, provided that…

Higher Hochschild homology is the analog of the homology of spaces, where the context for the coefficients -- which usually is that of abelian groups -- is that of commutative algebras. Two spaces that are equivalent after a suspension have…

We prove the validity over $\mathbb{R}$ of a commutative differential graded algebra model of configuration spaces for simply connected closed smooth manifolds, answering a conjecture of Lambrechts--Stanley. We get as a result that the real…

We exhibit homology spheres which never yield lens spaces by any integral Dehn surgery by using Ozsvath Szabo's contact invariant.

We show that for a gradable finite dimensional algebra the perfect complexes and bounded derived category cannot be distinguished by homotopy invariants.

In this paper, we classify the homotopy types of the total spaces of $S^{2k-1}$-bundles (or fibrations) over $S^{2k}$ for $2\leq k\leq 6$. One of the two key new ingredients in the argument is the new necessary and sufficient conditions for…

A ringed finite space is a ringed space whose underlying topological space is finite. The category of ringed finite spaces contains, fully faithfully, the category of finite topological spaces and the category of affine schemes. Any ringed…

A configuration space of intervals in $\mathbb R^1$ with partially summable labels is constructed. It is a kind of an extension of the configuration space with partially summable labels constructed by the second author and at the same time…

We continue our investigation of the configuration space of general relativity begun in I (gr-qc/9411009). Here we examine the Hamiltonian constraint when the spatial geometry is momentarily static (MS). We show that MS configurations…

In [3], after defining notions of LS category in the simplicial context, the authors show that the geometric simplicial LS category is non-decreasing under strong collapses. However, they do not give examples where it increases strictly,…

We construct a smooth compact n-dimensional manifold Y with one point singularity such that all its Lipschitz homotopy groups are trivial, but Lipschitz mappings Lip(S^n,Y) are not dense in the Sobolev space W^{1,n}(S^n,Y). On the other…

We define a noncommutative Lorentz symmetry for canonical noncommutative spaces. The noncommutative vector fields and the derivatives transform under a deformed Lorentz transformation. We show that the star product is invariant under…

We study definite fillings of lens spaces. We classify the lens spaces $L(p,q)$ for which every smooth negative-definite filling $X$ satisfies \[ b_2(X)\ge b_2(X(p,q))-1, \] where $X(p,q)$ denotes the canonical negative-definite plumbing.…

We prove homological stability for sequences of "oriented configuration spaces" as the number of points in the configuration goes to infinity. These are spaces of configurations of n points in a connected manifold M of dimension at least 2…

We consider the problem when lens spaces are given from homology spheres, and demonstrate that many lens spaces are obtained from L-space homology sphere which the Ozsv\'ath Szab\'o's correction term $d(Y)$ is equal to 2. We show an…

The question of the existence of Universal homotopy commutative and homotopy associative H-spaces (called Abelian H-spaces) is studied. Such a space T(X) would prolong a map from X into an Abelian H-space to a unique H-map from T into X.…

Limit and Pseudotopological spaces are two generalizations of topological spaces which are defined by indicating what filters converge under some axioms. In this article, we introduce covering spaces and set forth some necessary conditions…

Ganea proved that the loop space of $\mathbb{C}P^n$ is homotopy commutative if and only if $n=3$. We generalize this result to that the loop spaces of all irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces but $\mathbb{C}P^3$ are not homotopy…

We introduce several homotopy equivalence relations for proper holomorphic mappings between balls. We provide examples showing that the degree of a rational proper mapping between balls (in positive codimension) is not a homotopy invariant.…
