Certain classes of multiparameter persistence modules may be encoded as signed barcodes, represented as points in a polyhedral subset of Euclidean space, we refer to as signed persistence diagrams. These signed persistence diagrams exist in…
We describe an effective method for computing the topological degree of continuous functions $R:S^2 \to S^2$, where $S^2$ is the Riemann sphere. Our approach generalizes the degree formula for rational functions of complex polynomials,…
Hypergraphs have seen widespread application in network and data science communities in recent years. We present a survey of recent work to construct auxiliary structures from hypergraphs -- specifically simplicial, relative, and chain…
The strong shape category of compact metrizable spaces (compacta) is very well-studied; extending it to noncompact spaces, however, introduces computational complexity that makes it hard to work with. The fine shape category, as defined by…
We examine the complexity of the ``Texas Hold'em'' variant of poker from a topological perspective. We show that there exists a natural simplicial complex governing the multi-way winning probabilities between various hands, and that this…
We introduce the universal complex elliptic genus phi_ell as the ring homomorphism from the complex cobordism ring Omega^U to the polynomial ring C[A,B,C,D] associated to the characteristic power series Q(x)=x/f(x), where f is the solution…
We study a generalized motion planning problem involving multiple autonomous robots navigating in a $d$-dimensional Euclidean space in the presence of a set of obstacles whose positions are unknown a priori. Each robot is required to visit…
We present a construction that manufactures $\E_\infty$ orientations of Tate fixed-point objects together with useful formulas for these maps, and then give a number of applications. For example, we produce a formula for the Frobenius…
We define a version of the surface cobordism category $\mathrm{Cob}_2^{\mathrm{SG}}(X)$ over a base space $X$ where surfaces are considered up to self homotopy equivalences instead of diffeomorphisms. We prove the induced functor…
Ruberman constructed families $\{g_n\vert n \in \mathbb{N}\} \subset \mathcal{R}^+ (M)$ of metrics of positive scalar curvature on certain $4$-manifolds which are concordant but lie in different path components of $\mathcal{R}^+ (M)$. We…
We apply poset cocalculus, a functor calculus framework for functors out of a poset, to study the problem of decomposing multipersistence modules into simpler components. We both prove new results in this topic and offer a new perspective…
As a consequence of Efimov's proof of rigidity of the $\infty$-category of localising motives, Efimov and Scholze have constructed refinements of localising invariants such as $\operatorname{THH}$ and $\operatorname{TC}^-$. These…
Hodge-filtered derived de Rham cohomology of a ring $R$ can be described (up to completion and shift) as the graded pieces of the even filtration on $\mathrm{HC}^-(R)$. In this paper we show a deformation of this result: If $R$ admits a…
The string topology coproduct on the homology of the free loop space of a closed manifold induces a string cobracket on $S^1$-equivariant homology. We give a complete computation of the string topology coproduct for surfaces of higher genus…
A function on a topological space is called unimodal if all of its super-level sets are contractible. A minimal unimodal decomposition of a function $f$ is the smallest number of unimodal functions that sum up to $f$. The problem of…
We introduce a new flavor of functor cocalculus, called \emph{poset cocalculus}, as a tool for studying approximations in topological data analysis. Given a functor from a distributive lattice to a model category, poset cocalculus produces…
In chromatic homotopy theory, there is a well-known conjecture called blue-shift phenomenon (BSP). In this paper, we propose a general blue-shift phenomenon (GBSP) which unifies BSP and a new variant of BSP introduced by Balmer--Sanders…
We review the definition of Mahowald invariants and discuss the computational method of Mark Brehens introduced in [arXiv:math/0507182]. Then we examine the relationship between the algebraic Mahowald invariants and the \( E \)-filtered…
The study of persistent homology has contributed new insights and perspectives into a variety of interesting problems in science and engineering. Work in this domain relies on the result that any finitely-indexed persistence module of…
We introduce and study a new class of topological $G$-spaces generalizing the classical flag manifolds $G/T$ of compact connected Lie groups. These spaces, which we call the $m$-quasi-flag manifolds $ F_m = F_m(G,T) $, are topological…
