This survey is a guide for the non specialist on how to use rational homotopy theory techniques to get approximations of Farber's topological complexity, in particular, and of Schwarz's sectional category, in general.
In this work we show how to get advantage from the Riemann--Hilbert analysis in order to obtain information about the matrix orthogonal polynomials and functions of second kind associated with a weight matrix. We deduce properties for the…
Given a homotopy equivalence f between two topological spaces we assemble well known pieces and unfold them into an explicit formula for a strong deformation retraction of the mapping cylinder of f onto its top.
Motivated by the loop space cohomology we construct the secondary operations on the cohomology $H^*(X; \mathbb{Z}_p)$ to be a Hopf algebra for a simply connected space $X.$ The loop space cohomology ring $H^*(\Omega X; \mathbb{Z}_p)$ is…
In this paper we propose a primal-dual homotopy method for $\ell_1$-minimization problems with infinity norm constraints in the context of sparse reconstruction. The natural homotopy parameter is the value of the bound for the constraints…
Rota-Baxter operators, $\mathcal{O}$-operators on Lie algebras and their interconnected pre-Lie and post-Lie algebras are important algebraic structures with applications in mathematical physics. This paper introduces the notions of a…
Using the framework for multiplicative parametrized homotopy theory introduced in joint work with C. Schlichtkrull, we produce a multiplicative comparison between the homotopical and operator algebraic constructions of twisted K-theory,…
We describe the homotopy classes of 2 by 2 periodic simple (=non-degenerate) matrices with various symmetries. This turns out to be an elementary exercise in the homotopy of closed curves in three dimensions. The matrices represent gapped…
To approximate a simple root of an equation we construct families of iterative maps of higher order of convergence. These maps are based on model functions which can be written as an inner product. The main family of maps discussed is…
We show that the canonical map from the associative operad to the unital associative operad is a homotopy epimorphism for a wide class of symmetric monoidal model categories. As a consequence, the space of unital associative algebra…

Join-preserving maps on the discrete time scale $\omega^+$, referred to as time warps, have been proposed as graded modalities that can be used to quantify the growth of information in the course of program execution. The set of time warps…
We investigate the homotopy type of a certain homogeneous space for a simple complex algebraic group. We calculate some of its classical topological invariants and introduce a new one. We also propose several conjectures about its…
We consider a model for topological recursion based on the Hopf Algebra of planar binary trees of Loday and Ronco. We show that extending this Hopf Algebra by identifying pairs of nearest neighbor leaves and producing in this way graphs…
Using standard calculus, explicit formulas for one-, two- and three-dimensional homotopy operators are presented. A derivation of the one-dimensional homotopy operator is given. A similar methodology can be used to derive the…
We establish an explicit formula for the Half-Wave maps equation for rational functions with simple poles. The Lax pair provides a description of the evolution of the poles. By considering a half-spin formulation, we use linear algebra to…
This paper studies the homotopy-type of bi-filtrations of compact manifolds induced as the pre-image of filtrations of the plane for generic smooth functions f : M --> R^2. The primary goal of the paper is to allow for a simple description…
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…
A few new N=2 superintegrable mappings in the (1|2) superspace are proposed and their origin is analyzed. Using one of them, acting like the discrete symmetry transformation of the N=2 supersymmetric modified NLS hierarchy, the recursion…
We consider a generalized Riemann-Hurwitz formula as it may be applied to rational maps between projective varieties having an indeterminacy set and fold-like singularities. The case of a holomorphic branched covering map is recalled. Then…
