In this expository paper we present some ideas of algebraic topology (more precisely, of homology theory) in a language accessible to non-specialists in the area. A $1$-cycle in a graph is a set $C$ of edges such that every vertex is…

This paper studies Hamiltonian circle actions, i.e. circle subgroups of the group Ham(M,\om) of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold (M,\om). Our main tool is the Seidel representation of \pi_1(\Ham(M,\om)) in the…

For a generic class of rational functions, we give an explicit description of the flat structure on the Riemann sphere induced by a meromorphic 1-form R(z)dz, where R is a rational function. The rational functions in the generic class we…

We show that every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices whose minimum $(k-2)$-degree is at least $(5/9+o(1))n^2/2$ contains a Hamiltonian cycle. A construction due to Han and Zhao shows that this minimum degree condition is optimal. The…

Let G (V, E) be a simple graph with vertex set V and edge set E. A generalized cycle is a subgraph such that any vertex degree is even. A simple cycle (briefly in a cycle) is a connected subgraph such that every vertex has degree 2. A basis…

Let $\phi:\Z/p\to GL_{n}(\Z)$ denote an integral representation of the cyclic group of prime order $p$. This induces a $\Z/p$-action on the torus $X=\R^{n}/\Z^{n}$. The goal of this paper is to explicitly compute the cohomology groups…

We show that every 3-uniform hypergraph with minimum vertex degree at least $0.8\binom{n-1}{2}$ contains a tight Hamiltonian cycle.

We study two families of integral functionals indexed by a real number $p > 0$. One family is defined for 1-dimensional curves in $\R^3$ and the other one is defined for $m$-dimensional manifolds in $\R^n$. These functionals are described…

We compute the cohomology groups of the spaces of colorings of cycles, i.e., of the prodsimplicial complexes Hom(C_m,K_n). We perform the computation first with Z_2, and then with integer coefficients. The main technical tool is to use…

In the companion paper, we measured homology classes and computed the optimal homology basis. This paper addresses two related problems, namely, localization and stability. We localize a class with the cycle minimizing a certain objective…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold and assume that $M$ is partitioned by a hypersurface $N$. In this paper we introduce a novel class of functions $C_{\mathrm{w}}(M)$ on noncompact manifolds, which is slightly larger than the algebra…

We generalise a fundamental graph-theoretical fact, stating that every element of the cycle space of a graph is a sum of edge-disjoint cycles, to arbitrary continua. To achieve this we replace graph cycles by topological circles, and…

Given a simple Lie group G of rank 1, we consider compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M,g) of signature (p,q) on which G can act conformally. Precisely, we determine the smallest possible value for the index min(p,q) of the metric. When…

We present a Hamilton cycle in the $k$-sided pancake network and four combinatorial algorithms to traverse the cycle. The network's vertices are coloured permutations $\pi = p_1p_2\cdots p_n$, where each $p_i$ has an associated colour in…

Intersection homology is defined for simplicial, singular and PL chains and it is well known that the three versions are isomorphic for a full filtered simplicial complex. In the literature, the isomorphism, between the singular and the…

In our book on cohomological methods in transformation groups the minimal Hirsch-Brown model was used to good effect. The construction there, however, was rather abstract. Here, for smooth compact connected Lie group actions on smooth…

The main purpose of this paper is to study the length minimizing property of Hamiltonian paths on closed symplectic manifolds $(M,\omega)$ such that there are no spherical homology class $A \in H_2(M)$ with $$ \omega(A) > 0 \quad \text{and}…

In this paper we determine explicitly the mod-p essential cohomology ideals of the p-groups with a cyclic subgroup of index p.

Let P be the right-angled dodecahedron or 120-cell in hyperbolic space, and let W be the group generated by reflections across codimension-one faces of P. We prove that if Gamma is a torsion-free subgroup of minimal index in W, then the…

Given a point p of the topos of simplicial sets and the corresponding flat covariant functor F from the small category Delta to the category of sets, we determine the extensions of F to the cyclic category. We show that to each such cyclic…
