The present thesis studies structural properties of non-crossing partitions associated to finite Coxeter groups from both algebraic and geometric perspectives. On the one hand, non-crossing partitions are lattices, and on the other hand, we…
The paper begins by giving an algebraic structure on a set of coset representatives for the left action of a subgroup on a group. From this we construct a non-trivially associated tensor category. Also a double construction is given, and…
We show that every action operad gives rise to a notion of monoidal category via the categorical version of the Borel construction, embedding action operads into the category of 2-monads on $\mathbf{Cat}$. We characterize those 2-monads in…
We study hyperbolic cohomology classes in the general context of simplicial complexes and prove homological invariance statements for them. We relate the existence of hyperbolic cohomology classes to the non-amenability of the fundamental…
The notion of B-convexity for operator spaces, which a priori depends on a set of parameters indexed by $\Sigma$, is defined. Some of the classical characterizations of this geometric notion for Banach spaces are studied in this new…
By a result of Gerstenhaber and Schack the simplicial cohomology ring $H^*(\mathcal{C};k)$ of a poset $\mathcal{C}$ is isomorphic to the Hochschild cohomology ring $HH^*(k\mathcal{C})$ of the category algebra $k\mathcal{C}$, where the poset…
We identify the obstructions for the functoriality and the uniqueness of the totalization functor, (partially) defined on the category of simplicial objects in the homotopy category of a stable model category, and we use a result from the…
Making the first steps towards a classification of simple partial comodules, we give a general construction for partial comodules of a Hopf algebra \(H\) using central idempotents in right coideal subalgebras and show that any…
In this paper we take up again the deformation theory for $K$-linear pseudofunctors initiated in a previous work (Adv. Math. 182 (2004) 204-277). We start by introducing a notion of a 2-cosemisimplicial object in an arbitrary 2-category and…
An associahedron is a polytope whose vertices correspond to triangulations of a convex polygon and whose edges correspond to flips between them. Using labeled polygons, C. Hohlweg and C. Lange constructed various realizations of the…
The abelian category of tetramodules over an associative bialgebra $A$ is related with the Gerstenhaber-Schack (GS) cohomology as $Ext_\Tetra(A,A)=H_\GS(A)$. We construct a 2-fold monoidal structure on the category of tetramodules of a…
We study monoidal 2-categories and bicategories in terms of categorical extensions and the cohomological data they determine in appropriate cohomology theories with coefficients in Picard groupoids. In particular, we analyze the hierarchy…
D.Sullivan (1977) (see also the book by H.Whitney "Geometric Integration Theory",1957) considered a new model for underlying cochain complex for classical cohomologies with rational coefficients for arbitrary simplicial spaces that gives…
Generic polyhedra are interesting mathematical objects to study in their own right. In this paper, we initialize a systematic study of two-dimensional generic polyhedra with an eye towards applications to low-dimensional topology,…
We investigate the collapsibility of systolic finite simplicial complexes of arbitrary dimension. The main tool we use in the proof is discrete Morse theory. We shall consider a convex subcomplex of the complex and project any simplex of…
We construct an $A_\infty$-structure on the two-sided bar construction involving homotopy Gerstenhaber algebras (hgas). It extends the non-associative product defined by Carlson and the author and generalizes the dga structure on the…
Categories of lenses/optics and Dialectica categories are both comprised of bidirectional morphisms of basically the same form. In this work we show how they can be considered a special case of an overarching fibrational construction,…
Let $M$ be a closed, connected, orientable topological four-manifold with $H_1(M)$ nontrivial and free abelian, $b_2(M)\ne 0, 2$, and $\chi(M)\ne 0$. We show that if $G$ is a finite group of 2-rank $\le 1$ which admits a homologically…
We present a small 4-dimensional polyhedral realization of a 2-dimensional Z-acyclic but non-contractible simplicial complex.
We construct a combinatorial model of an A-infinity-operad which acts simplicially on the cobar resolution (not just its total space) of a simplicial set with respect to a ring R.
