The goal of this paper is to define and inspect a metric version of the universal path space and study its application to purely 2-unrectifiable spaces, in particular the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$. The construction of the universal…

We consider the moduli space of flat $SO(2n+1)$-connections (up to gauge transformations) on a Riemann surface, with fixed holonomy around a marked point. There are natural line bundles over this moduli space; we construct geometric…

Let $\mathcal{F}_1(n,m)$ be the space of ordered m-tuples of pairwise distinct points in $\partial \mathbf{H}_{\mathbb{H}}^n$ up to its isometry group $PSp(n,1)$. It is a real $2m^2-6m+5-\sum^{m-n-1}_{i=1}{m-2 \choose n-1+i}$ dimensional…

We prove some extension theorems involving uniformly continuous maps of the universal Urysohn space. We also prove reconstruction theorems for certain groups of autohomeomorphisms of this space and of its open subsets.

The Urysohn space is the unique separable metric space that is universal and homogeneous for finite metric spaces, i.e., it embeds any finite metric space any isometry between finite subspaces extends to an isometry of the whole space. We…

We investigate the exponents of the total Cohen groups $[\Omega(\mathbb S^{r+1}), \Omega(Y)]$ for any $r\ge 1$. In particular, we show that for $p\ge 3$, the $p$-primary exponents of $[\Omega(\mathbb S^{r+1}), \Omega(\mathbb S^{2n+1})]$ and…

Given a mixed Hodge module E on a scheme X over the complex numbers, and a quasi-projective morphism f:X->S, we construct in this paper a natural resolution of the nth exterior tensor power of E restricted to the nth configuration space of…

In this paper we prove a single exponential upper bound on the number of possible homotopy types of the fibres of a Pfaffian map, in terms of the format of its graph. In particular we show that if a semi-algebraic set $S \subset…

We give a description of the complete 1/N expansion of SU(N) 2D Yang Mills theory in terms of the moduli space of holomorphic maps from non-singular worldsheets. This is related to the Gross-Taylor coupled 1/N expansion through a map from…

We determine the exact global structure of the moduli space of $N{=}2$ supersymmetric $SO(n)$ and $\USp(2n)$ gauge theories with matter hypermultiplets in the fundamental representations, using the non-renormalization theorem for the Higgs…

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…

We give a refinement of the stable Snaith splitting of the double loop space of a Moore space and use it to construct infinite $v_1$-periodic families of elements of order $p^{r+1}$ in the homotopy groups of mod $p^r$ Moore spaces. For odd…

We introduce the \emph{universal algebra} of two Poisson algebras $P$ and $Q$ as a commutative algebra $A:={\mathcal P} (P, \, Q )$ satisfying a certain universal property. The universal algebra is shown to exist for any finite dimensional…

The universal hypermultiplet arises as a subsector of every Calabi-Yau compactification of M-theory or Type II string theory. Classically its moduli space is the quaternionic space $SU(2,1)/U(2)$. We show that this moduli space receives a…

We establish universality and ultra-homogeneity of $(\mathcal{U},u_\mathrm{GH})$, the collection of all compact ultrametric spaces endowed with the so-called Gromov-Hausdorff ultrametric. This result also gives rise to a novel construction…

In [5], together with J. C. Wood, the authors gave a completely explicit formula for all harmonic maps from $2$-spheres to the unitary group $U(n)$ in terms of freely chosen meromorphic functions on $S^2$. The simplest harmonic maps are the…

Let p be a fibration over a finite simplicial complex, whose fibers have the homotopy type of finite simplicial complexes. Then p is equivalent to an approximate fibration whose total space is a compact ENR. The proof uses homotopy coherent…

Let $Y=\Gamma\backslash H^n$ be a quotient of the hyperbolic space by the action of a discrete convex-cocompact group of isometries. We describe certain spaces of $\Gamma$-invariant currents on the sphere at infinity of $H^n$ with support…

The Euler characteristic is the only additive topological invariant for spaces of certain sort, in particular, for manifolds with some finiteness properties. A generalization of the notion of a manifold is the notion of a V-manifold. Here…
