Universal coverings of the orthogonal groups and their extensions are studied in terms of Clifford-Lipschitz groups. An algebraic description of basic discrete symmetries (space inversion $P$, time reversal $T$, charge conjugation $C$ and…

In the theory of crossed modules, considering arbitrary self-actions instead of conjugation allows for the extension of the concept of crossed modules and thus the notion of generalized crossed module emerges. In this paper we give a…

In this article we generalize the theory of subgroup graphs of subgroups of free groups to finite index subgroups $H$ of finitely generated groups $G$. We study and prove various properties of $H$ in relation to its subgroup graph…

We prove a general version of the homological perturbation lemma which works in the presence of curvature, and without the restriction to strong deformation retracts, building on work of Markl. A key observation is that the notion of strong…

A theory of matchings for finite subsets of an abelian group, introduced in connection with a conjecture of Wakeford on canonical forms for homogeneous polynomials, has since been extended to the setting of field extensions and to that of…

We develop a robust foundation for studying the fundamental group(oid) in discrete homotopy theory, including: equivalent definitions and basic properties, the theory of covering graphs, and the discrete version of the Seifert-van Kampen…

We generalize the completion theorem for equivariant MU-module spectra for finite groups or finite extensions of a torus to compact Lie groups using the splitting of global functors proved by Schwede. This proves a conjecture of Greenlees…

We develop a categorical framework for studying graphs of groups and their morphisms, with emphasis on pullbacks. More precisely, building on classical work by Serre and Bass, we give an explicit construction of the so-called…

We construct an equivariant version of discrete Morse theory for simplicial complexes endowed with group actions. The key ingredient is a 2-categorical criterion for making acyclic partial matchings on the quotient space compatible with an…

We give conditions of an extension of a free group to be hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic using the dynamics of the action of $\out$ on the complex of free factors combined with the weak attraction theory. We work with subgroups of…

This work introduces a general theory of universal pseudomorphisms and develops their connection to diagrammatic coherence. The main results give hypotheses under which pseudomorphism coherence is equivalent to the coherence theory of…

We propose a homology theory for locally compact spaces with ends in which the ends play a special role. The approach is motivated by results for graphs with ends, where it has been highly successful. But it was unclear how the original…

Prolongations of a group extension can be studied in a more general situation that we call group extensions of the co-type of a crossed module. Cohomology classification of such extensions is obtained by applying the obstruction theory of…

In this paper, we are interested in study subgroups of topologized fundamental groups and their influences on generalized covering maps. More precisely, we find some relationships between generalized covering subgroups and the other famous…

We give a direct combinatorial proof that the product of two descent classes in a symmetric group is a sum of descent classes. The proof is based on the fact that the group product gives a covering map when descent classes are endowed with…

We develop a generalized covering space theory for a class of uniform spaces called coverable spaces. Coverable spaces include all geodesic metric spaces, connected and locally pathwise connected compact topological spaces, in particular…

Local properties of the fundamental group of a path-connected topological space can pose obstructions to the applicability of covering space theory. A generalized covering map is a generalization of the classical notion of covering map…

Homotopy links have proven to be one of the most powerful tools of stratified homotopy theory. In previous work, we described combinatorial models for the generalized homotopy links of a stratified simplicial set. For many purposes, in…

The theory of complex trees is introduced as a new approach to study a broad class of self-similar sets. Systems of equations encoded by complex trees tip-to-tip equivalence relations are used to obtain one-parameter families of connected…

It is important to classify covering subgroups of the fundamental group of a topological space using their topological properties in the topologized fundamental group. In this paper, we introduce and study some topologies on the fundamental…
