In this paper, we give partial answers to the following questions: Which contact manifolds are contactomorphic to links of isolated complex singularities? Which symplectic manifolds are symplectomorphic to smooth affine varieties? The…

We prove the additive version of the conjecture proposed by Ginzburg and Kaledin. This conjecture states that if X/G is an orbifold modeled on a quotient of a smooth affine symplectic variety X (over C) by a finite group G\subset Aut(X) and…

We prove holomorphy E sqcap C(I,varPi) to C(I,varPi) of the map (x,y) mapsto x circ [id,y] where [id,y]:I owns t mapsto (t,y(t)) for a real compact interval I, and where varPi is a complex Banach space and E is a certain locally convex…

Complexity one spaces are an important class of examples in symplectic geometry. Karshon and Tolman classify them in terms of combinatorial and topological data. In this paper, we compute the equivariant cohomology for any complexity one…

We show that every sheaf on the site of smooth manifolds with values in a stable (infinity,1)-category (like spectra or chain complexes) gives rise to a differential cohomology diagram and a homotopy formula, which are common features of…

Associated to any manifold equipped with a closed form of degree >1 is an `L-infinity algebra of observables' which acts as a higher/homotopy analog of the Poisson algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold. In order to study Lie group…

We initiate (co)homology theory for quasigroups of Bol-Moufang type based on analysis of their extensions by affine quasigroups of the same type. We use these extensions to define second and third boundary operations, $\partial_2(x,y)$ and…

This work extends the theory of reciprocal diagrams in graphic statics to frameworks that are invariant under finite group actions by utilizing the homology and representation theory of cellular cosheaves, recent tools from applied…

We continue the work of Takao Komatsu by considering the inhomogeneous approximation constant L(\theta,\phi) for Hurwitzian numbers \theta, and rationally related \phi(r \theta +m)/n in Q(\theta) +Q. The current work uses a compactness…

For a scalar evolution equation $u_t=K(t,x,u,u_x,\ldots, u_n), n\geq 2$ the cohomology spaces $H^{1,s}({\mathcal R}^\infty)$ vanishes for $s\geq 3$ while the space $H^{1,2}({\mathcal R}^\infty)$ is isomorphic to the space of variational…

We prove that homotopy invariants of finite degree distinguish homotopy classes of maps of a connected compact CW-complex to a nilpotent connected CW-complex with finitely generated homotopy groups.

In principle, Floer theory can be extended to define homotopy invariants of families of equivalent objects (e.g. Hamiltonian isotopic symplectomorphisms, 3-manifolds, Legendrian knots, etc.) parametrized by a smooth manifold B. The…

Let $R$ be commutative Noetherian ring and let $\fa$ be an ideal of $R$. For complexes $X$ and $Y$ of $R$--modules we investigate the invariant $\inf{\mathbf R}\Gamma_{\fa}({\mathbf R}\Hom_R(X,Y))$ in certain cases. It is shown that, for…

Building on work of Marta Bunge in the one-categorical case, we characterize when a given model category is Quillen equivalent to a presheaf category with the projective model structure. This involves introducing a notion of homotopy atoms,…

We define a new finite type invariant for stably homeomorphic class of curves on compact oriented surfaces without boundaries and extend to a regular homotopy invariant for spherical curves.

We introduce a bivariate version of topological complexity, $\mathrm{TC}(f,g)$, associated with two continuous maps $f\colon X\to Z$ and $g\colon Y\to Z$. This invariant measures the minimal number of continuous motion planning rules…

Let X be a (not-necessarily homotopy-associative) H-space. We show that TC_{n+1}(X) = cat(X^n), for n >= 1, where TC_{n+1}(-) denotes the so-called higher topological complexity introduced by Rudyak, and cat(-) denotes the…

Fix a finite group $G$. We analyze the computational complexity of the problem of counting homomorphisms $\pi_1(X) \to G$, where $X$ is a topological space treated as computational input. We are especially interested in requiring $G$ to be…

In this paper, we compute the $RO(\mathbb{Z}/2)$-graded equivariant cohomology of rotation groups and Stiefel manifolds with particular involutions.

In this report we give an intrinsic treatment of the results we developed in a previous work connecting the differential calculi on Hopf algebras to the Drinfeld double. In the first place we recover that bicovariant bimodules are in one to…
