We first review the introduction of star products in connection with deformations of Poisson brackets and the various cohomologies that are related to them. Then we concentrate on what we have called ``closed star products" and their…
This study aims mainly at investigating the effects of concircular flatness and concircular symmetry of a warped product manifold on its fibre and base manifolds. Concircularly flat and concircularly symmetric warped product manifolds are…
Associated to any manifold equipped with a closed form of degree >1 is an `L-infinity algebra of observables' which acts as a higher/homotopy analog of the Poisson algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold. In order to study Lie group…
The aim of the work is to prove the following main theorem. Theorem. Let M3 be a three-dimensional, connected, simple-connected, closed, compact, smooth manifold. Tnen the manifold M3 is diffeomorphic to the three-dimensional sphere.
It is a well-known result of C.T.C. Wall's that one may decompose a simply connected 6-manifold as a connected sum of two simpler manifolds. Recent work of Beben and Theriault on decomposing based loop spaces of highly connected Poincar\'e…
Observational data hints at a finite universe, with spherical manifolds such as the Poincare dodecahedral space tentatively providing the best fit. Simulating the physics of a model universe requires knowing the eigenmodes of the Laplace…
It has been a long-standing challenge to find a geometric object underlying the cosmological wavefunction for Tr($\phi^3$) theory, generalizing associahedra and surfacehedra for scattering amplitudes. In this note we describe a new class of…
This paper presents a classification of the total spaces of $S^3$-bundles over $\mathbb{C}P^2$ up to orientation-preserving homotopy equivalence. Our approach proceeds in two steps: we first derive the PL-homeomorphism classification for…
In Homotopy Type Theory, few constructions have proved as troublesome as the smash product. While its definition is just as direct as in classical mathematics, one quickly realises that in order to define and reason about functions over…
We introduce systems of objects and operators in linear monoidal categories called $\hat \Psi$-systems. A $\hat \Psi$-system satisfying several additional assumptions gives rise to a topological invariant of triples (a closed oriented…
The cosmohedron was recently proposed as a polytope underlying the cosmological wavefunction for $\text{Tr}(\Phi^3)$ theory. Its faces were conjectured to be in bijection with Matryoshkas, which are obtained from a subdivision of a polygon…
We show how self-referential discs in 4-manifolds lead to the construction of pairs of discs with a common geometrically dual sphere which are homotopic rel $\partial$, concordant and coincide near their boundaries, yet are not properly…
This is a survey on known results and open problems about closed aspherical manifolds, i.e., connected closed manifolds whose universal coverings are contractible. Many examples come from certain kinds of non-positive curvature conditions.…
In this paper we discuss the topology of the symplectomorphism group of a product of two 2-dimensional spheres when the ratio of their areas lies in the interval (1,2]. More precisely we compute the homotopy type of this symplectomorphism…
We give p-local homotopy decompositions of the loop spaces of compact, simply-connected symmetric spaces for quasi-regular primes. The factors are spheres, sphere bundles over spheres, and their loop spaces. As an application, upper bounds…
We give a combinatorial description of general homotopy groups of $k$-dimensional spheres with $k\geq3$ as well as those of Moore spaces. For $n>k\geq 3,$ we construct a finitely generated group defined by explicit generators and relations,…
A spherical polyhedron surface is a triangulated surface obtained by isometric gluing of spherical triangles. For instance, the boundary of a generic convex polytope in the 3-sphere is a spherical polyhedron surface. This paper investigates…
In the present paper we study hyperbolic manifolds that are rational homology 3-spheres obtained by colouring of right--angled polytopes. We study the existence (or absence) of different kinds of symmetries of rational homology spheres that…
The paper surveys some new results and open problems connected with such fundamental combinatorial concepts as polytopes, simplicial complexes, cubical complexes, and subspace arrangements. Particular attention is paid to the case of…
(Bi)modules, morphisms and reduction of star-products are studied in a framework of multidifferential operators along maps: morphisms deform Poisson maps and representations on functions spaces deform coisotropic maps. If a star-product is…
