We apply the theory of directed topology developed by Grandis [9, 10] to the study of stratified spaces by describing several ways in which a stratification or a stratification with orientations on the strata can be used to produce a…
The area of research called \textquotedblleft Lineability\textquotedblright% \ looks for linear structures inside exotic subsets of vector spaces. In the last decade lineability/spaceability has been investigated in rather general settings;…
We study the homotopy of the connected sum of a manifold with a projective space, viewed as a typical way to stabilize manifolds. In particular, we show a loop homotopy decomposition of a manifold after stabilization by a projective space,…
We define and study complex structures and generalizations on spaces consisting of geodesics or harmonic maps that are compatible with the symmetries of these spaces. The main results are about existence and uniqueness of such structures.
This paper is a survey of our work based on the stratified Morse theory of Goresky and MacPherson. First we discuss the Morse theory of Euclidean space stratified by an arrangement. This is used to show that the complement of a complex…
Nested space-filling designs are nested designs with attractive low-dimensional stratification. Such designs are gaining popularity in statistics, applied mathematics and engineering. Their applications include multi-fidelity computer…
A homology stratification is a filtered space with local homology groups constant on strata. Despite being used by Goresky and MacPherson [Intersection homology theory: II, Inventiones Mathematicae, 71 (1983) 77-129] in their proof of…
We study the process of compactification as a topology change. It is shown how the mediating spacetime topology, or cobordism, may be simplified through surgery. Within the causal Lorentzian approach to quantum gravity, it is shown that any…
Topological surgery occurs in natural phenomena where two points are selected and attracting or repelling forces are applied. The two points are connected via an invisible `thread'. In order to model topologically such phenomena we…
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…
We develop a theory of conically smooth stratified spaces and their smooth moduli, including a notion of classifying maps for tangential structures. We characterize continuous space-valued sheaves on these conically smooth stratified spaces…
This note is a survey on the topology of hyperplane arrangements. We mainly focus on the relationship between topology and the real structure, such as adjacent relations of chambers and stratifications related to real structures.
Localized patterns are coherent structures embedded in a quiescent state and occur in both discrete and continuous media across a wide range of applications. While it is well-understood how domain covering patterns (for example stripes and…
This article is a survey of recent work of the author, together with Markus Banagl, Eric Leichtnam, Rafe Mazzeo, and Paolo Piazza, on the Hodge theory of stratified spaces. We discuss how to resolve a Thom-Mather stratified space to a…
Coincidences of maps between smooth manifolds are studied via a geometric approach which involves (nonstabilized) normal bordism theory and pathspaces.
The purpose of this note is to discuss several results that have been obtained in the last decade in the context of sharp adjoint Fourier restriction/Strichartz inequalities. Rather than aiming at full generality, we focus on several…
The past few years have seen remarkable progress in the theory and phenomenology of QCD, bringing perturbative and nonperturbative methods into closer contact with each other and with experiment.
The notion of cellular stratified spaces was introduced in a joint work of the author with Basabe, Gonz{\'a}lez, and Rudyak with the aim of constructing a cellular model of the configuration space of a sphere. Although the original aim was…
For the past few decades, structured light has been gaining popularity across various research fields. Its fascinating properties have been exploited for both previously unforeseen and established applications from new perspectives. Crucial…
We introduce and investigate the concept of Stratified Algebra, a new algebraic framework equipped with a layer-based structure on a vector space. We formalize a set of axioms governing intra-layer and inter-layer interactions, study their…
