Let M be a monoidal category endowed with a distinguished class of weak equivalences and with appropriately compatible classifying bundles for monoids and comonoids. We define and study homotopy-invariant notions of normality for maps of…

Coincidences of maps between smooth manifolds are studied via a geometric approach which involves (nonstabilized) normal bordism theory and pathspaces.

The paper is concerned with `geometrization' of smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) representations of the automorphism group of universal domains, and with the properties of `geometric' representations of such groups. As an application, we…

We characterize those closed $2k$-manifolds admitting smooth maps into $(k+1)$-manifolds with only finitely many critical points, for $k\in\{2,4\}$. We compute then the minimal number of critical points of such smooth maps for $k=2$ and,…

Let $k$ be a field of positive characteristic. Building on the work of the second named author, we define a new class of $k$-algebras, called diagonally $F$-regular algebras, for which the so-called Uniform Symbolic Topology Property (USTP)…

We consider the `unstable Boardman map' (homomorphism if $k>0$) $$b:\pi^{m+k}\Sigma^k\Omega^lS^{n+l}\simeq[\Omega^lS^{n+l},\Omega^kS^{m+k}]\longrightarrow \mathrm{Hom}(H_*\Omega^lS^{n+l},H_*\Omega^kS^{m+k})$$ defined by $h(f)=f_*$. We work…

It is known that neither immersions nor maps with a fixed finite set of multisingularities are enough to realize all mod 2 homology classes in manifolds. In this paper we define the notion of realizing a homology class up to cobordism; it…

We show that there is a stable homotopy theory of profinite spaces and use it for two main applications. On the one hand we construct an \'etale topological realization of the stable motivic homotopy theory of smooth schemes over a base…

We extend the theory of relative trisections of smooth, compact, oriented $4$-manifolds with connected boundary given by Gay and Kirby to include $4$-manifolds with an arbitrary number of boundary components. Additionally, we provide…

It is not known whether the realisation part of the $s$-cobordism theorem holds for smooth 4-manifolds, nor whether every pair of smoothly $h$-cobordant 4-manifolds is also smoothly $s$-cobordant. We provide some new conditions under which…

We treat the notion of principal symbol mapping on a compact smooth manifold as a $\ast$-homomorphism of $C^{\ast}$-algebras. Principal symbol mapping is built from the ground, without referring to the pseudodifferential calculus on the…

Given a Lie group acting on a manifold $M$ preserving a closed $n+1$-form $\omega$, the notion of homotopy moment map for this action was introduced in Callies-Fregier-Rogers-Zambon [6], in terms of $L_{\infty}$-algebra morphisms. In this…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce $N_k(\ell)$-maps ($1\le k,\ell\le\infty$), which describe higher homotopy normalities, and to study their basic properties and examples. An $N_k(\ell)$-map is defined with higher homotopical…

It is well known that Thom-Boardman symbols are realized by non-increasing sequences of nonnegative integers. A natural question is whether the converse is also true. In this paper we answer this question affirmatively, that is, for any…

It is one of the most important facts in 4-dimensional topology that not every spherical homology class of a 4-manifold can be represented by an embedded sphere. In 1978, M. Freedman and R. Kirby showed that in the simply connected case,…

There are two algebraic lower bounds of the number of n-periodic points of a self-map f:M\to M of a compact smooth manifold of dimension at least 3 : NF_n(f)=min {#Fix(g^n) ;g\sim f; g continuous} and NJD_n(f)=min {#Fix}(g^n) ;g\sim f; g…

We define \emph{piecewise rank 1} manifolds, which are aspherical manifolds that generally do not admit a nonpositively curved metric but can be decomposed into pieces that are diffeomorphic to finite volume, irreducible, locally symmetric,…

In this paper, we introduce fundamental notions of homotopy theory, including homotopy excision and the Freudenthal suspension theorem. We then explore framed cobordism and its connection to stable homotopy groups of spheres through the…

Let $\mathcal{E}(X)$ be the group of homotopy classes of self homotopy equivalences for a connected CW complex $X$. We observe two classes of maps $\mathcal{E}$-maps and co-$\mathcal{E}$-maps. They are defined as the maps $X\to Y$ that…

We calculate geometric and homotopical (or stable) bordism rings associated to semi-free $S^1$ actions on complex manifolds, giving explicit generators for the geometric theory. The classification of semi-free actions with isolated fixed…
