Let $\Sigma_{g,r}$ denote the $r$-punctured closed Riemann surface of genus $g$. For every $g\geq 0$, we determine the four-variable generating function for the mixed Hodge numbers of the unordered configuration spaces of $\Sigma_{g,1}$.…

We propose a new method of computing cohomology groups of spaces of knots in $\R^n$, $n \ge 3$, based on the topology of configuration spaces and two-connected graphs, and calculate all such classes of order $\le 3.$ As a byproduct we…

The aim of this article is to explain a philosophy for applying higher dimensional Seifert-van Kampen Theorems, and how the use of groupoids and strict higher groupoids resolves some foundational anomalies in algebraic topology at the…

In this paper we study the classifying spaces of graph products of simplicial groups and connected Hopf algebras over a field, and show that they can be uniformly treated under the framework of polyhedral products. It turns out that these…

We consider the moduli space $\mathfrak{M}_{g,n}$ of Riemann surfaces of genus $g\ge0$ with $n\ge1$ ordered and directed marked points. For $d\ge 2g+n-1$ we show that $\mathfrak{M}_{g,n}$ is homotopy equivalent to a component of the…

In this paper we study topology of the variety of closed planar polygons with given side lengths. We describe the Betti numbers of the moduli spaces as functions of the length vector. We also find sharp upper bounds on the sum of Betti…

K-Theory for hermitian symmetric spaces of non-compact type, as developed recently by the authors, allows to put Cartan's classification into a homological perspective. We apply this method to the case of inductive limits of finite…

We extend the loop product and the loop coproduct to the mapping space from the $k$-dimensional sphere, or more generally from any $k$-manifold, to a $k$-connected space with finite dimensional rational homotopy group, $k\geq 1$. The key to…

We introduce ordered and unordered configuration spaces of 'clusters' of points in an Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, where points in each cluster satisfy a 'verticality' condition, depending on a decomposition $d=p+q$. We compute the…

For any compact connected Lie group $G$, we study the Hamiltonian sum of two compact Hamiltonian group $G$-manifolds $(X^+,\omega^+,\mu^+)$ and $(X^-,\omega^-,\mu^-)$ with a common codimension 2 Hamiltonian submanifold $Z$ of the opposite…

We present an approach to cohomological dimension theory based on infinite symmetric products and on the general theory of dimension called the extension dimension. The notion of the extension dimension $\ExD(X)$ was introduced by…

The structure space S(M) of a closed topological m-manifold M classifies bundles whose fibers are closed m-manifolds equipped with a homotopy equivalence to M. We construct a highly connected map from S(M) to a concoction of algebraic…

Given a maximal geodesic lamination $\lambda$ on a closed oriented surface $S$ of genus $g$, the space of $d$-pleated surfaces with pleating locus $\lambda$ is an open subset of $\mathrm{Hom}(\pi_1(S),\mathsf{PGL}_d(\mathbb{C}))$ obtained…

A well-known property of unordered configuration spaces of points (in an open, connected manifold) is that their homology stabilises as the number of points increases. We generalise this result to moduli spaces of submanifolds of higher…

We study the topology of the moduli space of flat SU(2)-bundles over a nonorientable surface X. This moduli space may be identified with the space of homomorphisms Hom(\pi_1(X),SU(2)) modulo conjugation by SU(2). In particular, we compute…

This paper contains some results about the topology of $\M_{0,n+1}/\Sigma_n$, where $\M_{0,n+1}$ is the moduli space of genus zero Riemann surfaces with marked points. We show that $\M_{0,n+1}/\Sigma_n$ is not a topological manifold for…

We prove a homological stability theorem for moduli spaces of simply-connected manifolds of dimension $2n > 4$, with respect to forming connected sum with $S^n \times S^n$. This is analogous to Harer's stability theorem for the homology of…

We develop a new method to compute the homology groups of finite topological spaces (or equivalently of finite partially ordered sets) by means of spectral sequences giving a complete and simple description of the corresponding…

The symmetric homology of a unital algebra $A$ over a commutative ground ring $k$ is defined using derived functors and the symmetric bar construction of Fiedorowicz. For a group ring $A = k[\Gamma]$, the symmetric homology is related to…

We study the homology of Riemannian manifolds of finite volume that are covered by an $r$-fold product $(\mathbb{H}^2)^r = \mathbb{H}^2 \times \ldots \times \mathbb{H}^2$ of hyperbolic planes. Using a variation of a method developed by…
