This is an extended version of a talk given at the conference "Algebra and Topology in Interaction" on the occasion of the 70th Anniversary of D.B. Fuchs at UC Davis in September 2009. It is a brief survey of an area originated around 1995…

Using a basic idea of Sullivan's rational homotopy theory, one can see a Lie groupoid as the fundamental groupoid of its Lie algebroid. This paper studies analogues of Lie algebroids with non-trivial higher homotopy. Using various homotopy…

We study the higher (or sequential) topological complexity $\mathrm{TC}_s$ of manifolds with abelian fundamental group. We give sufficient conditions for $\mathrm{TC}_s$ to be non-maximal in both the orientable and non-orientable cases. In…

The theory of abelian categories proved very useful, providing an axiomatic framework for homology and cohomology of modules over a ring and, in particular, of abelian groups. For many years, a similar categorical framework has been lacking…

In general a universal covering of a non connected topological group need not admit a topological group structure such that the covering map is a morphism of topological groups. This result is due to R.L. Taylor (1953). We generalise this…

This article serves a two-fold purpose. On the one hand, it is a survey about the classification of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with abelian coradical, whose final step is the computation of the liftings or deformations of…

Together with F. Morel, we have constructed in \cite{CR, Cobord1, Cobord2} a theory of {\em algebraic cobordism}, an algebro-geometric version of the topological theory of complex cobordism. In this paper, we give a survey of the…

We show how the framework of crossed simplicial groups may be used to provide a classification of topological field theories on open cobordism categories defined by reductions of the structure group to a planar Lie group. Such theories are…

This thesis represents the first step in an investigation of an interesting class of manifold-theoretic invariants of $E_n$-algebras which generalize topological Hochschild homology. The main goal of this thesis is to give a definition of…

This is a first of our papers devoted to "noncommutative topology and graph theory". Its origin is the paper math.QA/0002238 by I. Gelfand, V. Retakh, and R.L. Wilson where a new class of noncommutative algebras $Q_n$ was introduced. The…

This is an introduction to gerbes for topologists, with emphasis on non-abelian cohomology.

An overview of quantum computing and in particular the Hidden Subgroup Problem are presented from a mathematical viewpoint. Detailed proofs are supplied for many important results from the literature, and notation is unified, making it…

The aim of this paper is to study the cohomology of Hom-Leibniz superalgebras. We construct the $q$-deformed Heisenberg-Virasoro superalgebra of Hom-type and provide as application the computations of the derivations and second cohomology…

In equivariant geometry, a localization (a.k.a., concentration) theorem is typically interpreted as a relationship between the equivariant geometry of a space with a group action and the geometry of its fixed locus. We take a different…

This paper develops a cohomology theory for Hom-Jacobi-Jordan algebras using and applies it to classify non-abelian extensions. The main result establishes that equivalence classes of split extensions of a Hom-Jacobi-Jordan algebra $J$ by…

We set up a framework for using algebraic geometry to study the generalised cohomology rings that occur in algebraic topology. This idea was probably first introduced by Quillen and it underlies much of our understanding of complex oriented…

In the work we investigate some groupoids which are the Abelian algebras and the Hamiltonian algebras. An algebra is Abelian if for every polynomial operation and for all elements $a,b,\bar c,\bar d$ the implication $t(a,\bar c)=t(a,\bar…

We present techniques that allow to decide that the dimension of some pointed Hopf algebras associated with non-abelian groups is infinite. These results are consequences of arXiv:0803.2430v1. We illustrate each technique with applications.

This is a research monograph on symplectic cohomology (disguised as an advanced graduate textbook), which provides a construction of this version of Hamiltonian Floer cohomology for cotangent bundles of closed manifolds. The focus is on the…

Following a project of developing conventions and notations for informal type theory carried out in the homotopy type theory book for a framework built out of an augmentation of constructive type theory with axioms governing…
