We describe the Whitehead products in the rational homotopy group of a connected component of a mapping space in terms of the Andr\'{e}-Quillen cohomology. As a consequence, an upper bound for the Whitehead length of a mapping space is…
We define generalised higher Whitehead maps between polyhedral products. By investigating the interplay between the homotopy-theoretic properties of polyhedral products and the combinatorial properties of simplicial complexes, we describe…
The Porter's approach (G.\ J.\ Porter, \textit{Higher order Whitehead products}, Topology \textbf{3} (1965), 123--135.) is used to derive some properties of higher order Whitehead products, similar to those ones for triple products obtained…
In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…
Nozaki et.~al.\ gave a homotopy classification of the knotted defects of ordered media in three-dimensional space by considering continuous maps from complements of spatial graphs to the order parameter space modulo a certain equivalence…
The Hochschild cohomology of a tensor product of algebras is isomorphic to a graded tensor product of Hochschild cohomology algebras, as a Gerstenhaber algebra. A similar result holds when the tensor product is twisted by a bicharacter. We…
We give a homotopy classification of the global defects in ordered media, and explain it via the example of biaxial nematic liquid crystals, i.e., systems where the order parameter space is the quotient of the $3$-sphere $S^3$ by the…
A general theory of topological classification of defects is introduced. We illustrate the application of tools from algebraic topology, including homotopy and cohomology groups, to classify defects including several explicit calculations…
We interpret the complexes defining rack cohomology in terms of a certain differential graded bialgebra. This yields elementary algebraic proofs of old and new structural results for this cohomology theory. For instance, we exhibit two…
It is well known that the cohomology of a tensor product is essentially the tensor product of the cohomologies. We look at twisted tensor products, and investigate to which extend this is still true. We give an explicit description of the…
Dualising the construction of a polyhedral product, we introduce the notion of a polyhedral coproduct as a certain homotopy limit over the face poset of a simplicial complex. We begin a study of the basic properties of polyhedral…
We construct a weighted version of polyhedral products and compute its cohomology in special cases. This is applied to resolve Steenrod's cohomology realization problem in a case related to products of spheres.
In this paper, the concept of Riemannian warped product submersion is generalized to the conformal case. We introduce the notion of conformal warped product submersion. It is a submersion between warped product manifolds that preserves…
We give the global homotopy classification of nematic textures for a general domain with weak anchoring boundary conditions and arbitrary defect set in terms of twisted cohomology, and give an explicit computation for the case of knotted…
We investigate Whitehead's asphericity question from a new perspective, using results and techniques of the homotopy theory of finite topological spaces. We also introduce a method of reduction to investigate asphericity based on the…
The homotopy type of the complement of a complex coordinate subspace arrangement is studied by fathoming out the connection between its topological and combinatorial structures. A family of arrangements for which the complement is homotopy…
The language and methods of algebraic topology, particularly homotopy theory, have been extensively used in the study of the identification, the classification and the evolution of defects. Topological methods provide the means for the…
Two homotopy decompositions of supensions of spaces involving polyhedral products are given. The first decomposition is motivated by the decomposition of suspensions of polyhedral products by Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen, and Gitler, and is a…
We construct certain unstable higher-order homotopy operations indexed by the simplex categories of $\Delta^{n}$ for ${n\geq 2}$ and prove that all elements in the homotopy groups of a wedge of spheres are generated under such operations by…
Motivated by the novel applications of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory and its generalizations in cognitive science, psychology, social and political sciences, and economics, we extend the notion of the tensor product and…
