For a finite simplicial complex K and a CW-pair (X,A), there is an associated CW-complex Z_K(X,A), known as a polyhedral product. We apply discrete Morse theory to a particular CW-structure on the n-sphere moment-angle complexes Z_K(D^{n},…

We introduce the van der Waerden complex ${\rm vdW}(n,k)$ defined as the simplicial complex whose facets correspond to arithmetic progressions of length $k$ in the vertex set $\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$. We show the van der Waerden complex ${\rm…

A class of solutions to the WDVV equations is provided by period matrices of hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces, with or without punctures. The equations themselves reflect associativity of explicitly described multiplicative algebra of…

We prove that the simplicial complex whose simplices are the nonempty partial bases of $\mathbb{F}_n$ is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of $(n-1)$-spheres. Moreover, we show that it is Cohen-Macaulay.

We introduce a novel combinatorial method to study $Q^{**}$-transformations of group presentations or, equivalently, 3-deformations of CW-complexes of dimension 2. Our procedure is based on a refinement of discrete Morse theory that gives a…

The aim of this paper is to give a (discrete) Morse theoretic proof of the fact that the $k$-th skeleton of the flag complex $\mathcal{F}$, associated to the lattice of subspaces of a finite dimensional vector space, is homotopy equivalent…

The purpose of this work is to develop a version of Forman's discrete Morse theory for simplicial complexes, based on internal strong collapses. Classical discrete Morse theory can be viewed as a generalization of Whitehead's collapses,…

Let $D_{n,\gamma}$ be the complex of graphs on $n$ vertices and domination number at least $\gamma$. We prove that $D_{n,n-2}$ has the homotopy type of a finite wedge of 2-spheres. This is done by using discrete Morse theory techniques.…

Given a finite set of points in $\mathbb R^n$ and a radius parameter, we study the \v{C}ech, Delaunay-\v{C}ech, Delaunay (or Alpha), and Wrap complexes in the light of generalized discrete Morse theory. Establishing the \v{C}ech and…

We examine the topology of the clique complexes of the graphs of weakly and strongly separated subsets of the set $[n]=\{1,2,...,n\}$, which, after deleting all cone points, we denote by $\hat{\Delta}_{ws}(n)$ and $\hat{\Delta}_{ss}(n)$,…

We construct a simplicial complex, the rectangle complex of a relation R, and show that it is homotopy equivalent to the Dowker complex of R. This results in a short and conceptual proof of functorial versions of Dowker's Theorem used in…

We investigate symmetries of Witten-Dijkgraaf-E.Verlinde-H.Verlinde (WDVV) equations proposed by Dubrovin from bi-hamiltonian point of view. These symmetries can be viewed as canonical Miura transformations between genus-zero bi-hamiltonian…

An integrable structure behind Witten--Dijkgraaf--Verlinde--Verlinde (WDVV) equations is identified with reduction of a Riemann-Hilbert problem for a homogeneous GL(N, C) loop group. Reduction requires the dressing matrices to be fixed…

The Dowker theorem is a classical result in the topology of finite spaces, claiming that any binary relation between two finite spaces defines two homotopy-equivalent complexes (the Dowker complexes). Recently, Barmak strengthened this to a…

We denote the matching complex of the complete graph with $n$ vertices by $M_n$. Bouc first studied the topological properties of $M_n$ in connection with the Quillen complex. Later Bj\"{o}rner, Lov\'{a}sz, Vre\'{c}ica, and…

In this master thesis, we extend results from classical simple homotopy theory to the world of stratified homotopy theory. To obtain a well-established framework to work in, we prove a series of results on two model categories of simplicial…

Let ${\mathfrak{g}}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with Borel subalgebra ${\mathfrak{b}}$ and corresponding nilradical ${\mathfrak{n}}$. We show that singular Whittaker modules $M$ are simple if and only if the space $\hbox{Wh}\,M$ of…

Ehrenborg, Govindaiah, Park, and Readdy recently introduced the van der Waerden complex, a pure simplicial complex whose facets correspond to arithmetic progressions. Using techniques from combinatorial commutative algebra, we classify when…

The author has already proven that the space $\Delta(\Pi_n)/G$ is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres of dimension $n-3$ for all natural numbers $n\geq 3$ and all subgroups $G\subset S_1\times S_{n-1}$. We construct an $S_1\times…

We show a Whitney Approximation Theorem for a continuous map from a manifold to a smooth CW complex. This enables us to show that a topological CW complex is homotopy equivalent to a smooth CW complex in a category of topological spaces. It…
