We study homotopy decompositions of the classifying spaces $BG$ of compact connected Lie groups obtained by (relative) fiber-cofiber construction. Given a pair of Borel fibrations $ F \to E \to BG $ and $F' \to E' \to BG $, this…

This study first provides a brief overview of the structure of typical Grassmann manifolds. Then a new type of supergrassmannians is construced using an odd involution in a super ringed space and by gluing superdomains together. Next,…

Let F denote the homotopy fiber of a map f:K-->L of 2-reduced simplicial sets. Using as input data the strongly homotopy coalgebra structure of the chain complexes of K and L, we construct a small, explicit chain algebra, the homology of…

We consider genera of polyhedra (finite cell complexes) in the stable homotopy category. Namely, the genus of a polyhedron X is the class of polyhedra Y such that all localizations of Y are stably isomorphic to the corresponding…

We demonstrate that the proper homotopy equivalence relation for locally finite graphs is Borel complete. Furthermore, among the infinite graphs, there is a comeager equivalence class. As corollaries, we obtain the analogous results for the…

We prove that the homotopy theory of cofibration categories is equivalent to the homotopy theory of cocomplete quasicategories. This is achieved by presenting both homotopy theories as fibration categories and constructing an explicit…

We define and study homotopy groups of cubical sets. To this end, we give four definitions of homotopy groups of a cubical set, prove that they are equivalent, and further that they agree with their topological analogues via the geometric…

The Hopf theorem states that homotopy classes of continuous maps from a closed connected oriented smooth $n$-manifold $M$ to the $n$-sphere are classified by their degree. Such a map is equivalent to a section of the trivial $n$-sphere…

This paper gives an introduction to homotopy descent, and its applications in algebraic $K$-theory computations for fields. On the \'etale site of a field, a fibrant model of a simplicial presheaf can be constructed from naive Galois…

A graph G is a homomorphic preimage of another graph H, or equivalently G is H-colorable, if there exists a graph homomorphism from G to H. A classic problem is to characterize the family of homomorphic preimages of a given graph H. A…

We give a homotopy theoretic characterization of stacks on a site $\cC$ as the {\it homotopy sheaves} of groupoids on $\cC$. We use this characterization to construct a model category in which stacks are the fibrant objects. We compare…

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…

We define a natural 2-categorical structure on the base category of a large class of Grothendieck fibrations. Given any model category $\mathbf{C}$, we apply this construction to a fibration whose fibers are the homotopy categories of the…

We define the Brauer group $\Br(G)$ of a locally compact groupoid $G$ to be the set of Morita equivalence classes of pairs $(\A,\alpha)$ consisting of an elementary C*-bundle $\A$ over $G^{(0)}$ satisfying Fell's condition and an action…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a Lie groupoid. The category $B\mathcal{G}$ of principal $\mathcal{G}$-bundles defines a differentiable stack. On the other hand, given a differentiable stack $\mathcal{D}$, there exists a Lie groupoid $\mathcal{H}$…

A separable, proper morphism of varieties with geometrically connected fibers induces a homotopy exact sequence relating the \'etale fundamental groups of source, target and fiber. Extending work of dos Santos, we prove the existence of an…

We study sharply localized sectors, known as sectors of DHR-type, of a net of local observables, in arbitrary globally hyperbolic spacetimes with dimension $\geq 3$. We show that these sectors define, has it happens in Minkowski space, a…

We study extensively the homotopy theory of coalgebras. By coalgebras, we mean the full theory of coalgebras: with counits and not necessarily locally conilpotent. For example $\mathcal E_\infty$-coalgebras, $\mathcal A_\infty$-coalgebras,…

The homotopy type of the complement of a complex coordinate subspace arrangement is studied by fathoming out the connection between its topological and combinatorial structures. A family of arrangements for which the complement is homotopy…

The homotopy category of a model structure on a weakly idempotent complete additive category is proved to be equivalent to the additive quotient of the category of cofibrant-fibrant objects with respect to the subcategory of…
