Given CW complexes X and Y, let map(X,Y) denote the space of continuous functions from X to Y with the compact open topology. The space map(X,Y) need not have the homotopy type of a CW complex. Here the results of an extensive investigation…
Topologically interlocked material systems are two-dimensional assemblies of unit elements from which no element can be removed from the assembly without disassembly of the entire system. Consequently, such tile assemblies are able to carry…
Here we survey several results and conjectures on the cohomology of the total space of the Hitchin system: the moduli space of semi-stable rank n and degree d Higgs bundles on a complex algebraic curve C. The picture emerging is a dynamic…
In [B.Gruenbaum, G.C. Shephard, Spherical tilings with transitivity properties, in: The geometric vein, Springer, New York, 1981, pp. 65-98], they proved "for every spherical normal tiling by congruent tiles, if it is isohedral, then the…
Recently a simple proof of the generalizations of Hawking's black hole topology theorem and its application to topological black holes for higher dimensional ($n\geq 4$) spacetimes was given \cite{rnew}. By applying the associated new line…
Deforming fundamental domains of wallpaper groups provides a systematic way to generate non-convex blocks which admit topological interlocking assemblies (TIAs). We use this approach to construct TIAs that fully occupy the space between two…
Clustering $\unicode{x2013}$ the tendency for neighbors of nodes to be connected $\unicode{x2013}$ quantifies the coupling of a complex network to its latent metric space. In random geometric graphs, clustering undergoes a continuous phase…
Many mechanical systems have configuration spaces that admit symmetries. Mathematically, such symmetries are modelled by the action of a group on a topological space. Several variations of topological complexity have emerged that take…
We relate a balancing property of letters for bi-infinite sequences to the invariance of the resulting 1-dimensional tiling dynamics under changes in the lengths of the tiles. If the language of the sequence space is finitely balanced, then…
We relate Kellendonk and Putnam's pattern-equivariant (PE) cohomology to the inverse-limit structure of a tiling space. This gives a version of PE cohomology with integer coefficients, or with coefficients in any Abelian group. It also…
The cohomology theory known as Tmf, for "topological modular forms," is a universal object mapping out to elliptic cohomology theories, and its coefficient ring is closely connected to the classical ring of modular forms. We extend this to…
We introduce a formalism for handling general spaces of hierarchical tilings, a category that includes substitution tilings, Bratteli-Vershik systems, S-adic transformations, and multi-dimensional cut-and-stack transformations. We explore…
We prove, for quasicompact separated schemes over ground fields, that Cech cohomology coincides with sheaf cohomology with respect to the Nisnevich topology. This is a partial generalization of Artin's result that for noetherian schemes…
We use rewriting systems to spell out cup-products in the (twisted) cohomology groups of a product of surface groups. This allows us to detect a non-trivial obstruction bounding from below the effective topological complexity of an…
Cohen and Glashow argued that very special conformal field theories of a particular kind (i.e. with HOM(2) or SIM(2) invariance) cannot be constructed within the framework of local field theories. We, however, show examples of local…
A natural extension of the Hopf-cyclic cohomology, with coefficients, is introduced to encompass topological Hopf algebras. The topological theory allows to work with infinite dimensional Lie algebras. Furthermore, the category of…
A topology is defined on the mapping class group of a compact connected orientable surface. It is shown that a notion of "genericity" on subsets of the mapping class group arises from this definition. Many plausible results follow from this…
We investigate slices of the Sierpi\'nski tetrahedron from a topological viewpoint. For each $c\in[0,1]$, we study the \v{C}ech (co)homology group of the slice at height $c$. We show that the topology of the slice exhibits a sharp…
We describe a class of topological field theories called ``balanced topological field theories.'' These theories are associated to moduli problems with vanishing virtual dimension and calculate the Euler character of various moduli spaces.…
The study of topological information of spatial objects has for a long time been a focus of research in disciplines like computational geometry, spatial reasoning, cognitive science, and robotics. While the majority of these researches…
