For a Banach space $X$ we shall denote the set of all closed subspaces of $X$ by $G(X)$. In some kinds of problems it turned out to be useful to endow $G(X)$ with a topology. The main purpose of the present paper is to survey results on two…

We develop relativistic causality theory in the setting of point-free topology by introducing a notion of causal coverage in ordered locales, generalising their canonical coverage relation to incorporate causal structure. This improves…

We recast the tools of ``global causal analysis'' in accord with an approach to the subject animated by two distinctive features: a thoroughgoing reliance on order-theoretic concepts, and a utilization of the Vietoris topology for the space…

Given a hereditarily meager ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on a countable set $X$ we use Martin's axiom for countable posets to produce a zero-dimensional maximal topology $\tau^\mathcal{I}$ on $X$ such that $\tau^\mathcal{I}\cap…

We say that a set is exhaustible if it admits algorithmic universal quantification for continuous predicates in finite time, and searchable if there is an algorithm that, given any continuous predicate, either selects an element for which…

We develop the general theory of \emph{topometric spaces}, i.e., topological spaces equipped with a well-behaved lower semi-continuous metric function. Spaces of global and local types in continuous logic are the motivating examples for the…

Function space topologies are developed for EC(Y,Z), the class of equi-continuous mappings from a topological space Y to a uniform space Z. Properties such as splittingness, admissibility etc. are defined for such spaces. The net theoretic…

We develop a general framework for the probabilistic analysis of random finite point clouds in the context of topological data analysis. We extend the notion of a barcode of a finite point cloud to compact metric spaces. Such a barcode…

For a large class of tilings, including the Penrose tiling in two dimension as well as the icosahedral ones in 3 dimension, the continuous hull of such a tiling inherits a minimal lamination structure with flat leaves and a transversal…

As an inverse problem, we recover the topology of the effective spacetime that a system lies in, in an operational way. This means that from a series of experiments we get a set of points corresponding to events. This continues the previous…

A change of spatial topology in a causal, compact spacetime cannot occur when the metric is globally Lorentzian. One can however construct a causal metric from a Riemannian metric and a Morse function on the background cobordism manifold,…

In this article we show that one can construct initial data for the Einstein equations which satisfy the vacuum constraints. This initial data is defined on a manifold with topology $R^3$ with a regular center and is asymptotically flat.…

Let G be a discrete group. We give methods to compute for a generalized (co-)homology theory its values on the Borel construction (EG x X)/G of a proper G-CW-complex X satisfying certain finiteness conditions. In particular we give formulas…

We discuss the causal structure of pp-wave spacetimes using the ideal point construction outlined by Geroch, Kronheimer, and Penrose. This generalizes the recent work of Marolf and Ross, who considered similar issues for plane wave…

We present theoretical and experimental results probing the rich topological structure of arbitrarily disordered finite tight binding Hamiltonians with chiral symmetry. We extend the known classification by considering the topological…

Let $\mathfrak{P}$ be a topological property. We study the relation between the order structure of the set of all $\mathfrak{P}$-extensions of a completely regular space $X$ with compact remainder (partially ordered by the standard partial…

We establish a complete classification theorem for the topology and for the null generators of compact non-degenerate Cauchy horizons of time orientable smooth vacuum $3+1$-spacetimes. We show that, either: (i) all generators are closed, or…

We provide a unified operational framework for the study of causality, non-locality and contextuality, in a fully device-independent and theory-independent setting. We define causaltopes, our chosen portmanteau of "causal polytopes", for…

We answer the following question posed by Lechuga: Given a simply-connected space $X$ with both $H_*(X,\qq)$ and $\pi_*(X)\otimes \qq$ being finite-dimensional, what is the computational complexity of an algorithm computing the cup-length…

The topology of periodic spaces has attracted a lot of interest in recent years in order to study and classify crystalline structures and other large homogeneous data sets, such as the distribution of galaxies in cosmology. In practice,…
