Let $(m,b)$ be a pair of natural numbers. For $m$ odd with $m \ge 7$ (resp. $m \ge 5$) and $b=1$ (resp. $b=0$) we show that there is a non-formal compact (almost) contact $m$-manifold with first Betti number $b_1 = b$. Moreover, in the case…

We prove a conjecture of Brochier, Jordan, Safronov, and Snyder [BJSS21], first formulated by Lurie [Lur09b], characterizing fully-dualizable and invertible $\mathcal{E}_n$-algebras viewed as objects in the higher Morita categories…

We enumerate all isotopy classes of degree three Morse polynomials ${\mathbb R}^3 \to {\mathbb R}^1$ with nonsingular principal homogeneous parts, proving that there are exactly 37 of them. We also count all 2258 isotopy classes of {\em…

Techniques from topological data analysis (TDA) have proven effective in studying time-dependent data arising in dynamic systems, such as animal swarming behavior and spatiotemporal patterns in neuroscience. While early algorithms leveraged…

The time delay (or Sliding Window) embedding is a technique from dynamical systems to reconstruct attractors from time series data. Recently, descriptors from Topological Data Analysis (TDA) -- specifically, persistence diagrams -- have…

We show that various categories of trees can be modeled by Grothendieck constructions on categories of trees with a fixed set of leaves. We prove this result for the dendroidal category $\Omega$, the category $\Omega^G$ of trees with a…

We establish homological stability for automorphisms of symmetric bilinear forms over a class of principal ideal domains that includes all fields, the integers, the Gaussian integers, and the Eisenstein integers. In conjunction with…

Transfer systems on finite posets have recently been gaining traction as a key ingredient in equivariant homotopy theory. Additionally, they also naturally occur in the data of a model structure. We give a complete characterization of all…

We investigate how the notions of pairings of operads of May and compatible pairs of indexing systems of Blumberg--Hill relate via the correspondence between indexing systems and $N_{\infty}$-operads. We show that a pairing of operads…

Semi-topological Galois theory associates a canonical finite splitting covering to a monic Weierstrass polynomial. The inverse limit of the corresponding deck groups defines the absolute semi-topological Galois group, $\PiST(X,x)$. This…

For an $n$-valued self-map $f$ of a closed manifold $X$, we prove an averaging formula for the Reidemeister trace of $f$ in terms of the Reidemeister coincidence traces of single-valued maps between finite orientable covering spaces of $X$.…

In [8,9], the authors developed a nice formula to compute the Nielsen number of a self-map on an infra-nilmanifold. For the case of nilmanifolds this formula was extended to $n$-valued maps in [4]. In this paper, we extend these results…

In this paper we construct $n$-valued maps on $k$-dimensional tori, where $n,k\geq 2$, that are not homotopic to affine $n$-valued maps. This is in high contrast with the single valued case, where any such map is homotopic to an affine…

Spatial relationships in multi-species data can indicate and affect system outcomes and behaviors, ranging from disease progression in cancer to coral reef resilience in ecology; therefore, quantifying these relationships is an important…

We use topological data analysis to study neural population activity in the Sensorium 2023 dataset, which records responses from thousands of mouse visual cortex neurons to diverse video stimuli. For each video, we build frame-by-frame…

In recent years, persistence modules have been viewed as graded modules with gradation over a preordered set serving as the indexing set. We provide sufficient criteria for a projective module over a PID to be free when the indexing set is…

Over an arbitrary commutative ring $R$, we develop a theory of quantum cellular automata. We then use algebraic K-theory to construct a space $\mathbf{Q}(X)$ of quantum cellular automata (QCA) on a given metric space $X$. In most cases of…

We propose a way to organise the subject of ``higher-order homological stability'', in the context of a graded $E_2$-algebra $\mathbf{R}$, along the same lines that the chromatic perspective organises stable homotopy theory. From this point…

Persistent topological Laplacians are operators that provide persistent Betti numbers and additional multiscale geometric information through the eigenvalues of the persistent topological Laplacian matrix. We introduce a framework and novel…

We construct topological $\Delta G$-homology for rings with twisted $G$-action. Here a ring with twisted $G$-action is a common generalization of a ring with anti-involution and a ring with $G$-action. This construction recovers as special…
