We determine loop space decompositions of simply-connected four-manifolds, $(n-1)$-connected $2n$-dimensional manifolds provided $n\notin\{4,8\}$, and connected sums of products of two spheres. These are obtained as special cases of a more…

We present an algorithmic approach to the problem of existence of spin structures on flat manifolds. We apply our method in the cases of flat manifolds of dimensions 5 and 6.

We give a homotopy equivalence for the loop space of the moment-angle complex associated with a simplicial complex formed by the polyhedral join operation, and give necessary conditions for this loop space to be a finite type product of…

Let $M$ be the $6$-manifold $M$ as the total space of the sphere bundle of a rank $3$ vector bundle over a simply connected closed $4$-manifold. We show that after looping $M$ is homotopy equivalent to a product of loops on spheres in…

We introduce the notion of smooth cell complexes and its subclass consisting of gathered cell complexes within the category of diffeological spaces (cf. Definitions 1 and 3). It is shown that the following hold. (1) With respect to the…

In the setting of homotopy type theory, each type can be interpreted as a space. Moreover, given an element of a type, i.e. a point in the corresponding space, one can define another type which encodes the space of loops based at this…

Polyhedral surfaces are fundamental objects in architectural geometry and industrial design. Whereas closeness of a given mesh to a smooth reference surface and its suitability for numerical simulations were already studied extensively, the…

The aim of this note is to present a construction of symplectic structures on orientable globally hyperbolic 4-dimensional lorentzian manifolds. Said structures are defined on the manifold itself, not on its cotangent bundle. It also…

A description of generalized coherent states and geometric phases in the light of the general theory of smooth loops is given.

Often it is possible to equip the space of all cone geodesics of a strongly convex cone structure with the structure of a smooth contact manifold. This generalizes the analogous notions for the space of light rays of a Lorentzian spacetime.…

We construct explicitly a finite cover of the moduli stack of compact Riemann surfaces with a given group of symmetries by a smooth quasi-projective variety.

We investigate a special kind of contraction of symmetric spaces (respectively, of Lie triple systems), called homotopy. In this first part of a series of two papers we construct such contractions for classical symmetric spaces in an…

In this paper we construct an infinite family of homotopically rigid spaces. These examples are then used as building blocks to forge highly connected rational spaces with prescribed finite group of self-homotopy equivalences. They are also…

In this paper we study topological properties of stable Hamiltonian structures. In particular, we prove the following results in dimension three: The space of stable Hamiltonian structures modulo homotopy is discrete; there exist stable…

Let $M$ be any $n$ dimensional smooth manifold and $PM$ be the space of all smooth paths, then we showed that $PM$ is a smooth manifold modelled over a complete normable space. We discussed many geometric structure on Path spaces and its…

We prove that the loop space of a K\"ahler manifold inherits a K\"ahler structure. Then we prove that equipped with this natural metric the loop space is complete and unbounded. Additionally, we show that a geodesic on the loop space can be…

In this paper which is the first of a series of papers on smooth structures, the concepts of C-structures and smooth structures are introduced and studied. The notion of smooth structure on semi-integral domains is given. It is shown that…

On every compact and orientable three-manifold, we construct total foliations (three codimension 1 foliations that are transverse at every point). This construction can be performed on any homotopy class of plane fields with vanishing Euler…

We prove that generalized loop spaces of Hartogs manifolds are Hilbert-Hartogs. We prove also that Hilbert-Hartogs manifolds possess a better extension properties that it is postulated in their definition. Finally, we give a list of…

We establish a loop space decomposition for certain $CW$-complexes with a single top cell in the presence of a spherical pair, thereby generalizing several known decompositions of Poincar\'{e} duality complexes in which a loop of a product…
