In this note, we generalize biharmonic equation for rotationally symmetric maps ([4], [16], [10]) to equivariant maps between model spaces and use it to give a complete classification of rotationally symmetric conformal biharmonic maps from…

We identify the restricted class of attainable effective deformations in a model of reinforced composites with parallel, long, and fully rigid fibers embedded in an elastic body. In mathematical terms, we characterize the weak limits of…

We study the moduli space of congruence classes of isometric surfaces with the same mean curvature in 4-dimensional space forms. Having the same mean curvature means that there exists a parallel vector bundle isometry between the normal…

Let $X$ be a $G$-space. In this paper, we introduce the notion of sectional category with respect to $G$. As a result, we obtain $G$-homotopy invariants: the LS category with respect to $G$, the sequential topological complexity with…

For Gamma a finite, connected metric graph, we consider the space of configurations of n points in Gamma with a restraint parameter r dictating the minimum distance allowed between each pair of points. These restricted configuration spaces…

Consider the Fulton-MacPherson configuration space of $n$ points on $\P^1$, which is isomorphic to a certain moduli space of stable maps to $\P^1$. We compute the cone of effective ${\mathfrak S}_n$-invariant divisors on this space. This…

Our main result offers a new (quite systematic) way of deriving bounds for the cup-length of Poincare spaces over fields; we outline a general research program based on this result. For the oriented Grassmann manifolds, already a limited…

We study generalizations of Lorentzian warped products with one-dimensional base of the form $I\times_f X$, where $I$ is an interval, $X$ is a length space and $f$ is a positive continuous function. These generalized cones furnish an…

Directed Algebraic Topology is beginning to emerge from various applications. The basic structure we shall use for such a theory, a 'd-space', is a topological space equipped with a family of 'directed paths', closed under some operations.…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be spaces and $M$ be an abelian group. A homotopy invariant $f\colon [X,Y]\to M$ is called straight if there exists a homomorphism $F\colon L(X,Y)\to M$ such that $f([a])=F(\langle a\rangle)$ for all $a\in C(X,Y)$. Here…

We show that morphisms from n A_infinity-algebras to a single one are maps over an operad module with n+1 commuting actions of the operad A_infinity, whose algebras are conventional A_infinity-algebras. Similar statement holds for homotopy…

We study the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and topological complexity of 1-dimensional spaces. We define both invariants as lengths of suitable closed filtrations, as opposed to a more common definition based on open covers. Our main…

The level of a module over a differential graded algebra measures the number of steps required to build the module in an appropriate triangulated category. Based on this notion, we introduce a new homotopy invariant of spaces over a fixed…

Stasheff showed that if a map between H-spaces is an H-map, then the suspension of the map is extendable to a map between cprojective planes of the H-spaces. Stahseff also proved the converse under the assumption that the multiplication of…

We show that homotopy pullbacks of sheaves of simplicial sets over a Grothendieck topology distribute over homotopy colimits; this generalizes a result of Puppe about topological spaces. In addition, we show that inverse image functors…

The paper introduces the class of O-metric spaces, a novel generalization of metric-type spaces, classifying almost all possible metric types into upward and downward O-metrics. We list some topologies arising from O-metrics and discuss…

Let M to B, N to B be fibrations and f1,f2 :M to N be a pair of fibre-preserving maps. Using normal bordism techniques we define an invariant which is an obstruction to deforming the pair f1,f2 over B to a coincidence free pair of maps.In…

We introduce a framework for pulling back Cartier modules and their associated invariants along regular $F$-finite morphisms. To achieve this, we construct a relative Cartier isomorphism and operator for an arbitrary regular $F$-finite map…

Let G be a compact connected Lie group and p : E \to {\Sigma}^2V a principal G-bundle with a characteristic map \alpha : A={\Sigma}V \to G. By combining cone decomposition arguments in Iwase-Mimura-Nishimoto [3,5] with computations of…

Invariants for Riemann surfaces covered by the disc and for hyperbolic manifolds in general involving minimizing the measure of the image over the homotopy and homology classes of closed curves and maps of the $k$-sphere into the manifold…
