For Gamma a finite, connected metric graph, we consider the space of configurations of n points in Gamma with a restraint parameter r dictating the minimum distance allowed between each pair of points. These restricted configuration spaces…

In this paper, we obtain the necessary and sufficient condition that two knot projections are related by a finite sequence of the first and second flat Reidemeister moves (Theorem 1). We also consider an equivalence relation that is called…

Maps that preserve adjacency on the set of all invertible hermitian matrices over a finite field are characterized. It is shown that such maps form a group that is generated by the maps $A\mapsto PAP^{\ast}$, $A\mapsto A^{\sigma}$, and…

If $f$ is an automorphism of a compact simply connected K\"ahler manifold with trivial canonical bundle that fixes a K\"ahler class, then the order of $f$ is finite. We apply this well known result to construct compact non-K\"ahler…

Given pointed cellular spaces $X$ and $Y$, $X$ compact, and an integer $r\ge0$, we define a relation $\overset r\approx$ on $[X,Y]$ and argue for the conjecture that it always coincides with the $r$-similarity $\overset r\sim$.

We present a new approach to simple homotopy theory of polyhedra using finite topological spaces. We define the concept of collapse of a finite space and prove that this new notion corresponds exactly to the concept of a simplicial…

We present different ways of endowing a particular category of graphs with Quillen model structures. We show, among other things, that the core of a graph can be seen as its homotopy type in an appropriate Quillen model structure, and that…

We construct diffeomorphisms of ``pseudo-Anosov type'' on K3 surfaces M. In particular we obtain infinitely many examples of such diffeomorphisms that minimize entropy in their homotopy class, and for which neither the diffeomorphism nor…

We show that the spaces of holomorphic and continuous maps from a smooth complex projective variety to a projective space have the same homology in a range depending on the degree of the maps.

Take n>k>1 such that n-k is odd. In this paper we consider mapping a from (n-k+1)-dimensional closed ball into the space of (n \times k)--matrices such that its restriction to a sphere goes into the Stiefel manifold V_k(R^n). We construct a…

A neighborhood homotopy is an equivalence relation on spatial graphs which is generated by crossing changes on the same component and neighborhood equivalence. We give a complete classification of all 2-component spatial graphs up to…

Links of singularity and generalized algebraic links are ways of constructing three-manifolds and smooth links inside them from potentially singular complex algebraic surfaces and complex curves inside them. We prove that knot lattice…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact oriented surface and $N$ a compact K\"ahler manifold with nonnegative holomorphic bisectional curvature. For a solution of harmonic map flow starting from an almost-holomorphic map $\Sigma \to N$ (in the energy…

We discuss a notion of uniqueness up to $n$-homotopy and study examples from stable homotopy theory. In particular, we show that the $q$-expansion map from elliptic cohomology to topological $K$-theory is unique up to $3$-homotopy, away…

We show that for links with at most 5 components, the only finite type homotopy invariants are products of the linking numbers. In contrast, we show that for links with at least 9 components, there must exist finite type homotopy invariants…

A ringed finite space is a ringed space whose underlying topological space is finite. The category of ringed finite spaces contains, fully faithfully, the category of finite topological spaces and the category of affine schemes. Any ringed…

We show that every holomorphic map $f\in\mathcal{H}(\Omega\setminus K)$ ($K\subset\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$, with $K$ compact, $\Omega$ open, and $n\ge2$), has a unique "\emph{Hartogs companion}" $\tilde f\in\mathcal{H}(\Omega)$ matching…

We study 2-monads and their algebras using a Cat-enriched version of Quillen model categories, emphasizing the parallels between the homotopical and 2-categorical points of view. Every 2-category with finite limits and colimits has a…

We describe the homotopy classes of 2 by 2 periodic simple (=non-degenerate) matrices with various symmetries. This turns out to be an elementary exercise in the homotopy of closed curves in three dimensions. The matrices represent gapped…

In this paper we will develop a very general approach which shows that critical relations of holomorphic maps on the complex plane unfold transversally in a positively oriented way. We will mainly illustrate this approach to obtain…
