By comparing the Postnikov towers of the classifying spaces of projective unitary groups and the differentials in a twisted Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, we deduce a lower bound on the topological index in terms of the period, and…

In this paper, we compute the LS-category and equivariant LS-category of a small cover and its real moment angle manifold. We calculate a tight lower bound for the topological complexity of many small covers over a product of simplices.…

We show that, over a field of characteristic 0, a normal, projective variety of dimension at least 4 is uniquely determined by its underlying topological space. The proof builds on previous work of Lieblich and Olsson. Version 2: many small…

We establish a stable homotopy-theoretic version of a recent result of Farber and Weinberger on the fibrewise topological complexity of sphere bundles and prove, by closely parallel methods, a similar result for real, complex and…

By analogy with algebraic geometry, we define a category of non-linear sheaves (quasi-coherent homotopy-sheaves of topological spaces) on projective toric varieties and prove a splitting result for its algebraic K-theory, generalising…

We present two complementary techniques called catalysis and inhibition which allow one to determine if a given pattern is TP completable or TP non-completable, respectively. Empirically, these techniques require considering only one…

We develop a discrete Morse theory for open simplicial complexes $K=X\setminus T$ where $X$ is a simplicial complex and $T$ a subcomplex of $X$. A discrete Morse function $f$ on $K$ gives rise to a discrete Morse function on the order…

We define a measure of "complexity" of a braid which is natural with respect to both an algebraic and a geometric point of view. Algebraically, we modify the standard notion of the length of a braid by introducing generators $\Delta\_{ij}$,…

The knot Floer complex and the concordance invariant $\varepsilon$ can be used to define a filtration on the smooth concordance group. We exhibit an ordered subset of this filtration that is isomorphic to $\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}$ and…

We give a short proof of the fact that the number of labelled trees on $n$ vertices is $n^{n-2}$. Although many short proofs are known, we have not seen this one before.

A tower is a sequence of simplicial complexes connected by simplicial maps. We show how to compute a filtration, a sequence of nested simplicial complexes, with the same persistent barcode as the tower. Our approach is based on the coning…

We present the different distances on tilings of Rd that exist in the literature, we prove that (most of) these definitions are correct (i.e. they indeed define metrics on tilings of Rd ). We prove that for subshifts with finite local…

While it was defined long ago, the extension of CTL with quantification over atomic propositions has never been studied extensively. Considering two different semantics (depending whether propositional quantification refers to the Kripke…

We show that products of propositional modal logics containing the logic of reflexive frames T as a factor are embeddable into their single-variable fragments. The proof is a simplified version of the proof, to appear, of a similar result…

This work answers the question what coverings over a topological torus can be induced from a covering over a space of dimension $k$. The answer to this question is then applied in algebro-geometric context to present obstructions to…

Let X be the base locus of a linear system W of k quadrics. Let also S be the intersection of W with the discriminant hypersurface in the space of all homogeneous polynomials of degree two. We prove a formula relating the topology of X with…

By analogy with the invariant Q-category defined by Scheerer, Stanley and Tanr\'e, we introduce the notions of Q-sectional category and Q-topological complexity. We establish several properties of these invariants. We also obtain a formula…

Digital topological methods are often used on computing the topological complexity of digital images. We give new results on the relation between reducibility and digital contractibility in order to determine the topological complexity of a…

Parametrized topological complexity is a homotopy invariant that represents the degree of instability of motion planning problem that involves external constraints. We consider the parametrized topological complexity in the case of…

We prove a generalization of the topological Tverberg theorem. One special instance of our general theorem is the following: Let $\Delta$ denote the 8-dimensional simplex viewed as an abstract simplicial complex, and suppose that its…
