We compute endomorphisms of topological Hochschild homology ($\mathrm{THH}$) as a functor on stable $\infty$-categories, as well as variants thereof: we also compute endomorphisms of the $k$-linear Hochschild homology functor $\mathrm{HH}_k$ over some base $k$; and endomorphisms of $\mathrm{THH}$ as a functor on stably...
Recently various types of topological Laplacians have been studied from the perspective of data analysis. The spectral theory of these Laplacians has significantly extended the scope of algebraic topology and data analysis.
The main purpose of this article is to give the integral cohomology of classical principal congruence subgroups in SL(2,Z) as well as their analogues in the third braid group with local coefficients in symmetric powers of the natural symplectic representation. The resulting answers (1) correspond to certain modular fo...
For every Gaussian kernel density estimator $f(x)=\sum_i a_i \exp(-\lVert x-x_i\rVert^2/2h^2)$ associated to a point cloud $\mathcal{D}=\{x_1,...,x_N\}\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, we define a nested family of closed subspaces $\mathcal{S}(a)\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, which we interpret as a continuous version of an alpha shape. ...
In this paper we construct $n$-valued maps on $k$-dimensional tori, where $n,k\geq 2$, that are not homotopic to affine $n$-valued maps. This is in high contrast with the single valued case, where any such map is homotopic to an affine (even linear) map.
We extend the notion of simplicial set with effective homology to diagrams of simplicial sets. Further, for a given finite diagram of simplicial sets $X \colon \mathcal{I} \to \mathsf{sSet}$ such that each simplicial set $X(i)$ has effective homology, we present an algorithm computing the homotopy colimit $\mathsf{hoc...
Let $\mathbb{E}_d$ denote the little discs operad for $1 \le d \le \infty$ and let $\mathcal{C}$ be an $\infty$-category all of whose mapping spaces are $n$-truncated. We prove that when considering $\mathbb{E}_d$-monoids in $\mathcal{C}$, all coherence diagrams of arity $>n+3$ are redundant.
Let $X$ be a topological space. We consider certain generalized configuration spaces of points on $X$, obtained from the cartesian product $X^n$ by removing some intersections of diagonals.
Taking the l^1-completion and the topological dual of the singular chain complex gives rise to l^1-homology and bounded cohomology respectively. In contrast to l^1-homology, major structural properties of bounded cohomology are well understood by the work of Gromov and Ivanov.
Homology decomposition techniques are a powerful tool used in the analysis of the homotopy theory of (classifying) spaces. The associated Bousfield-Kan spectral sequences involve higher derived limits of the inverse limit functor.
The Quillen-McCord theorem (aka Quillen fiber lemma) gives a sufficient condition on a map between classifying spaces of posetal categories to be a homotopy equivalence. Jonathan Ariel Barmak in his paper [<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1005.0538" data-arxiv-id="1005.0538" class="link-https">arXiv:1005.0538</a>] gives...
A. Bak developed a combinatorial approach to higher $K$-theory, in which control is kept of the elementary operations involved, through paths and `paths of paths&#39; in what he called a global action. The homotopy theory of these was developed by G. Minian.
In 1971, Kunio Murasugi proved a necessary condition on a knot&#39;s Alexander polynomial for that knot to be periodic of prime power order. In this paper I present an alternate proof of Murasugi&#39;s condition which is subsequently used to extend his result to the twisted Alexander polynomial.
In this article, we interconnect two different aspects of higher category theory, in one hand the theory of infinity categories and on an other hand the theory of <a href="http://2-categories.We" rel="external noopener nofollow" class="link-external link-http">this http URL</a> construct an explicit functorial path obj...
For certain manifolds with an involution the mod 2 cohomology ring of the set of fixed points is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of the manifold, up to dividing the degrees by two. Examples include complex projective spaces and Grassmannians with the standard antiholomorphic involution (with real projective spaces a...
Minimum numbers of fixed points or of coincidence components (realized by maps in given homotopy classes) are the principal objects of study in topological fixed point and coincidence theory. In this paper we investigate fiberwise analoga and represent a general approach e.g. to the question when two maps can be defor...
We show that for n&gt;=3 the symplectic group Sp(n) is as a 2-compact group determined up to isomorphism by the isomorphism type of its maximal torus normalizer. This allows us to determine the integral homotopy type of Sp(n) among connected finite loop spaces with maximal torus.
We use persistent homology to build a quantitative understanding of large complex systems that are driven far-from-equilibrium; in particular, we analyze image time series of flow field patterns from numerical simulations of two important problems in fluid dynamics: Kolmogorov flow and Rayleigh-Bénard convection. For ...
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 L-theory and algebraic K-theory spaces associated with M. The construction refines th...
Let P be a principal bundle with semisimple compact simply connected structure group G over a compact simply connected four-manifold M. In this note we give explicit formulas for the rational homotopy groups and cohomology algebra of the gauge group and of the space of (irreducible) connections modulo gauge transformat...
Following Hopkins and Singer, we give a definition for the differential equivariant K-theory of a smooth manifold acted upon by a finite group. The ring structure for differential equivariant K-theory is developed explicitly.
Previously we constructed operations in the mod 2 homology spectral sequence associated to a cosimplicial E-infinity space X. The correct target for this spectral sequence is the homology of Tot X. Noting that in this setting Tot X is an E-infinity space, we show that our operations agree with the usual Araki-Kudo oper...
We give a combinatorial classification of non-trivial triple Massey products of three dimensional classes in the cohomology of a moment-angle complex. This work improves on a result by Denham and Suciu (2007) by considering triple Massey products with non-trivial indeterminacy.
Given a locally trivial fibre bundle $E \to B$ (with fibres and base finite complexes), an orthogonal real line bundle $\lambda$ over $E$ and a real vector bundle $\xi$ over $B$, we consider a fibrewise map $f : S(\lambda ) \to \xi$ over $B$ defined on the unit sphere bundle of $\lambda$. Following the fundamental wor...
We introduce and study a genuine equivariant refinement of the Tate construction associated to an extension $\widehat{G}$ of a finite group $G$ by a compact Lie group $K$, which we call the parametrized Tate construction $(-)^{t_G K}$. Our main theorem establishes the coincidence of three conceptually distinct approac...
A generalisation of the equivariant Dixmier-Douady invariant is constructed as a second-degree cohomology class within a new semi-equivariant Čech cohomology theory. This invariant obstructs liftings of semi-equivariant principal bundles that are associated to central exact sequences of structure groups in which each ...
We study the multi-dimensional persistence of Carlsson and Zomorodian and obtain a finer classification based upon the higher tor-modules of a persistence module. We propose a variety structure on the set of isomorphism classes of these modules, and present several examples.
This paper lays some of the foundations for working with not-necessarily-commutative bialgebras and their categories of comodules in $\infty$-categories. We prove that the categories of comodules and modules over a bialgebra always admit suitably structured monoidal structures in which the tensor product is taken in t...
Let T be a torus. We present an exact sequence relating the relative equivariant cohomologies of the skeletons of an equivariantly formal T-space.
Let $\mathcal{G}_{k,n}$ be the gauge group of the principal $\mathrm{Sp}(n)$-bundle over $S^4$ corresponding to $k\in\mathbb{Z}\cong\pi_3(\mathrm{Sp}(n))$. We refine the result of Sutherland on the homotopy types of $\mathcal{G}_{k,n}$ and relate it with the order of a certain Samelson product in $\mathrm{Sp}(n)$.
We generalise the notion of subdivision of a finite-dimensional locally finite simplicial complex $X$ to geometric algebra, namely to the simplicially controlled categories $\mathbb{A}^*(X)$, $\mathbb{A}_*(X)$ of Ranicki and Weiss. We prove a squeezing result: a bounded chain equivalence of sufficiently algebraically ...
We prove that the direct sum of all homology groups of the integral general linear groups with Steinberg module coefficients form a commutative Hopf algebra, in particular a free graded commutative algebra. We use this to construct new infinite families of unstable cohomology classes of $SL_n(\mathbb Z)$.
We describe an algebraic structure on chain complexes yielding algebraic models which classify homotopy types of Poincare duality complexes of dimension 4. Generalizing Turaev&#39;s fundamental triples of Poincare duality complexes of dimension 3, we introduce fundamental triples for Poincare duality complexes of dime...
The purpose of this article is to describe the integral cohomology of the braid group B_3 and SL_2(Z) with local coefficients in a classical geometric representation given by symmetric powers of the natural symplectic representation. <br>These groups have a description in terms of the so called &#34;divided polynomial...
Consider the configuration spaces of manifold (closed or open). An influential theorem of McDuff and Segal shows that the (co)homology of unordered configuration spaces of open manifold is independent of number of configuration points in a range of degree called the stable range.
The symmetric group $S_3$ acts on $S^2 \times S^2 \times S^2$ by coordinate permutation, and the quotient space $(S^2 \times S^2 \times S^2)/S_3$ is homeomorphic to the complex projective space $\CC P^3$. In this paper, we construct an 124-vertex simplicial subdivision $(S^2 \times S^2 \times S^2)_{124}$ of the 64-ver...
In this work, we compute the topological coHochschild homology (coTHH) of interesting coalgebras such as the Steenrod algebra spectrum. For this, we start by extending the Hess-Shipley definition of coTHH to $\infty$-categories, following the Nikolaus-Scholze approach to THH.
We modify a classical construction of Bousfield and Kan to define the Adams tower of a simplicial nonunital commutative algebra over a field k. We relate this construction to Radulescu-Banu&#39;s cosimplicial resolution, and prove that all connected simplicial algebras are complete with respect to André-Quillen homolo...
The main characters of this paper are the moduli spaces $TM_{g,n}$ of rational tropical curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points, with $g\geq 2$. We reduce the study of the homotopy type of these spaces to the analysis of compact spaces $X_{g,n}$, which in turn possess natural representations as a homotopy colimits ...
Given a subspace arrangement, there are several De Concini-Procesi models associated to it, depending on distinct sets of initial combinatorial data (building sets). The first goal of this paper is to describe, for the root arrangements of types A_n, B_n (=C_n), D_n, the poset of all the building sets which are invari...
A p-local finite group consists of a finite p-group S, together with a pair of categories which encode ``conjugacy&#39;&#39; relations among subgroups of S, and which are modelled on the fusion in a Sylow p-subgroup of a finite group. It contains enough information to define a classifying space which has many of the s...
We introduce a new variant of Hochschild&#39;s two-sided bar construction for the setting of curved differential graded algebras. One can geometrically think of the classical bar complex as elements from the algebra positioned along different points in the closed interval $[0,1]$.
We study a spectral sequence that computes the (mod 2) S^1-equivariant homology of the free loop space LM of a manifold M (the &#34;string homology&#34; of M). Using it and knowledge of the string topology operations on the homology of LM, we compute the string homology of M when M is a sphere or a projective space.
For a 2-category 2C we associate a notion of a principal 2C-bundle. In case of the 2-category of 2-vector spaces in the sense of M.M. Kapranov and V.A. Voevodsky this gives the the 2-vector bundles of N.A. Baas, B.I. Dundas and J. Rognes.
We consider the setting of Reeb graphs of piecewise linear functions and study distances between them that are stable, meaning that functions which are similar in the supremum norm ought to have similar Reeb graphs. We define an edit distance for Reeb graphs and prove that it is stable and universal, meaning that it p...
This thesis represents the first step in an investigation of an interesting class of manifold-theoretic invariants of $E_n$-algebras which generalize topological Hochschild homology. The main goal of this thesis is to give a definition of the invariants, and analyse their geometric framework.
The Deligne conjecture (many times a theorem) endows Hochschild cochains of a linear category with the structure of an $E_2$-algebra, that is, of an algebra over the little 2-disks operad. In this paper, we prove the cyclic Deligne conjecture, stating that for a linear category equipped with a Calabi-Yau structure (a ...
We quiver-interpret the classical simplicial theory - including the cosimplex category $\Delta$, Dold-Kan correspondence, and Hochschild homology - as a certain Q-homotopy theory of type $A$. For the cyclic and cubical theories, we proceed analogously.
We present a short proof of the Čadek-Krčál-Matoušek-Vokřínek-Wagner result from the title (in the following form due to Filakovský-Wagner-Zhechev). <br>For any fixed even $l$ there is no algorithm recognizing the extendability of the identity map of $S^l$ to a PL map $X\to S^l$ of given $2l$-dimensional simplicial co...
We obtain multirelative connectivity statements about spaces of smooth embeddings, deducing these from analogous results about spaces of Poincare embeddings that were established in our previous paper.
We introduce homotopy groups of digraphs that admit an intuitive description of grid structures, which is a variation of the GLMY homotopy groups introduced by Grigor&#39;yan, Lin, Muranov and Yau in 2014. This direct approach enables a descriptive interpretation of GLMY theory in applications such as network science....
The Gapminder project set out to use statistics to dispel simplistic notions about global development. In the same spirit, we use persistent homology, a technique from computational algebraic topology, to explore the relationship between country development and geography.
We show that two flat commutative Hopf algebroids are Morita equivalent if and only if they are weakly equivalent and if and only if there exists a principal bibundle connecting them. This gives a positive answer to a conjecture due to Hovey and Strickland.
Vassiliev&#39;s knot invariants can be computed in different ways but many of them as Kontsevich integral are very difficult. We consider more visual diagram formulas of the type Polyak-Viro and give new diagram formula for the two basic Vassiliev invariant of degree 4.
For almost any compact connected Lie group $G$ and any field $\mathbb{F}\_p$, we compute the Batalin-Vilkoviskyalgebra $H^{*+\text{dim }G}(LBG;\mathbb{F}\_p)$ on the loop cohomology of the classifying space introduced byChataur and the second <a href="http://author.In" rel="external noopener nofollow" class="link-exter...
In this paper we develop techniques to compute the cooperations algebra for the second truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum $\tBP{2}$. We prove that the cooperations algebra $\tBP{2}_*\tBP{2}$ decomposes as a direct some of a $\F_2$-vector space concentrated in Adams filtration 0 and a $\F_2[v_0,v_1,v_2]$-module which is...
We prove that every commutative differential graded algebra whose cohomology is a simply-connected Poincare duality algebra is quasi-isomorphic to one whose underlying algebra is simply-connected and satisfies Poincare duality in the same dimension. This has application in particular to the study of CDGA models of con...
We lift the Lefschetz number from an algebraic invariant of maps between spaces to an invariant of morphisms of data over the spaces.
We introduce homotopical variants of the axioms of countable and dependent choice for infinity-topoi and use them to give criteria for Postnikov completeness, revisiting a result of Mondal and Reinecke.
We study bicolored configurations of points in the Euclidean $n$-space that are constrained to remain either inside or outside a fixed Euclidean $m$-subspace, with $n - m \ge 2$. We define a higher-codimensional variant of the Swiss-Cheese operad, called the complementarily constrained disks operad $\mathsf{CD}_{mn}$,...
The paper is devoted to problems at the intersection of formal group theory, the theory of Hirzebruch genera, and the theory of elliptic functions. <br>The elliptic function of level N determines the elliptic genus of level N as a Hirzebruch genus.
These are notes, by Z. Fiedorowicz, from lectures given by J. Frank Adams at the University of Chicago in spring of 1973. They give an elegant axiomatic presentation of localization and completion in algebraic topology.
In this paper author proposes a construction of a universal space of type $K(\pi,1)$ such that any action (up to homotopy conjugation) of a given finite group $G$ on spaces of the same homotopy type is presented on the constructed space. Moreover, any action of $G$ on any space of type $K(\pi,1)$ is covered by some ac...
Topological data analysis leverages topological features to analyze datasets, with applications in diverse fields like medical sciences and biology. A key tool of this theory is the persistence diagram, which encodes topological information but poses challenges for integration into standard machine learning pipelines....
The projective span of a smooth manifold is defined to be the maximal number of linearly independent tangent line fields. We initiate a study of projective span, highlighting its relationship with the span, a more classical invariant.
We construct a natural transformation from the Bousfield-Kuhn functor evaluated on a space to the Topological Andre-Quillen cohomology of the K(n)-local Spanier-Whitehead dual of the space, and show that the map is an equivalence in the case where the space is a sphere. This results in a method for computing unstable ...
We give a new proof, independent of Lin&#39;s theorem, of the Segal conjecture for the cyclic group of order two. The key input is a calculation, as a Hopf algebroid, of the Real topological Hochschild homology of $\mathbb{F}_2$.
Let a compact torus $T=T^{n-1}$ act on an orientable smooth compact manifold $X=X^{2n}$ effectively, with nonempty finite set of fixed points, and suppose that stabilizers of all points are connected. If $H^{odd}(X)=0$ and the weights of tangent representation at each fixed point are in general position, we prove that...
Associated to a differential character is an integral cohomology class, referred to as the characteristic class, and a closed differential form, referred to as the curvature. The characteristic class and curvature are equal in de Rham cohomology, and this is encoded in a commutative square.
We explain the essence of perturbation problems. The key to understanding is the structure of chain homotopy equivalence -- the standard one must be replaced by a finer notion which we call a strong chain homotopy equivalence.
Homotopy links have proven to be one of the most powerful tools of stratified homotopy theory. In previous work, we described combinatorial models for the generalized homotopy links of a stratified simplicial set.
Despite a blossoming of research activity on racks and their homology for over two decades, with a record of diverse applications to central parts of contemporary mathematics, there are still very few examples of racks whose homology has been fully calculated. In this paper, we compute the entire integral homology of ...
Given a topological group G, its orbit category Orb_G has the transitive G-spaces G/H as objects and the G-equivariant maps between them as morphisms. A well known theorem of Elmendorf then states that the category of G-spaces and the category of contravariant functors Func(Orb_G,Spaces) have equivalent homotopy theor...
We give a construction of the universal enveloping $A_\infty$ algebra of a given $L_\infty$ algebra, alternative to the already existing versions. As applications, we derive a higher homotopy algebras version of the classical Milnor-Moore theorem, proposing a new $A_\infty$ model for simply connected rational homotopy...
We show that the analog category of a finite group is essentially proportional to the size of its largest Sylow subgroup. We conclude that the universal upper bound given by the order of the group is very far from optimal.
We study completion with respect to the iterated suspension functor on $\mathcal{O}$-algebras, where $\mathcal{O}$ is a reduced operad in symmetric spectra. This completion is the unit of a derived adjunction comparing $\mathcal{O}$-algebras with coalgebras over the associated iterated suspension-loop homotopical como...
Let T be a triangulated category with coproducts, C the full subcategory of compact objects in T. If T is the homotopy category of spectra, Adams proved the following in [Adams71]: All contravariant homological functors C --&gt; Ab are the restrictions of representable functors on T, and all natural transformations are...
The spectral sequence associated to the Arone-Goodwillie tower for the n-fold loop space functor is used to show that the first two non-trivial layers of the nilpotent filtration of the reduced mod 2 cohomology of a (sufficiently connected) space with nilpotent cohomology are comparable. This relies upon the theory of...
The purpose of this paper is to show how Positselski&#39;s relative nonhomogeneous Koszul duality theory applies when studying the linear category underlying the PROP associated to a (non-augmented) operad of a certain form, in particular assuming that the reduced part of the operad is binary quadratic. In this case, ...
The complement of the hyperplanes $\{x_i=x_j\}$, for all $i\neq j$ in $M^n$, for $M$ an aspherical $2$-manifold, is known to be aspherical. Here we consider the situation, when $M$ is a $2$-dimensional orbifold.
A stable $\infty$-category is $1$-semiadditive if all norms for finite group actions are equivalences. In the presence of $1$-semiadditivity, Goodwillie calculus simplifies drastically.
We observe a new equivariant relationship between topological Hochschild homology and cohomology. We also calculate the topological Hochschild homology of the topological Hochschild cohomology of a finite prime field, which can be viewed as a certain ring of structured operations in this case.
We calculate the algebraic $K$-theory of the coordinate ring of a planar cuspidal curve over a regular $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra, thereby verifying a conjecture due to Hesselholt. In the course of the proof we compute the Picard group of the homotopy category of $p$-complete genuine $C_{p^n}$-spectra.
We give an explicit decription for univeral principal U(r)-bundles with periodic map by means of equivariant Stiefel manifolds. We then show that the associated equivariant vector bundle is equivalent to the canonical one given by G. Segal.
We begin the study the algebraic topology of semi-coarse spaces, which are generalizations of coarse spaces that enable one to endow non-trivial `coarse-like&#39; structures to compact metric spaces, something which is impossible in coarse geometry. We first study homotopy in this context, and we then construct homolo...
We apply a theorem of J. Lurie to produce cohomology theories associated to certain Shimura varieties of type U(1,n-1). These cohomology theories of topological automorphic forms (TAF) are related to Shimura varieties in the same way that TMF is related to the moduli space of elliptic curves.
This note contains a correction to the paper, ``Local contribution to the Lefschetz fixed point formula&#39;&#39;, Inv. Math.
In this paper, we present upper bounds for the depth of some classes of polyhedra, including: polyhedra with finite fundamental group, polyhedra $P$ with abelian or free $\pi_1(P)$ and finitely generated $H_i(tilde{P};\mathbb{Z}$, 2-dimensional polyhedra with abelian or free fundamental group, and 2-dimensional polyhed...
We give an upper bound on the topological complexity of varieties $\mathcal{V}$ obtained as complements in $\mathbb{C}^m$ of the zero locus of a polynomial. As an application, we determine the topological complexity of unordered configuration spaces of the plane.
This paper begins the study of Morse theory for orbifolds, or more precisely for differentiable Deligne-Mumford stacks. The main result is an analogue of the Morse inequalities that relates the orbifold Betti numbers of an almost-complex orbifold to the critical points of a Morse function on the orbifold.
In this note, we describe motivic cell structures arising from the Bialynicki-Birula decomposition. This provides a description of the stable A^1-homotopy types of smooth projective G_m-varieties where the G_m-action has isolated fixed points.
We prove existence results a la Jeff Smith for left-induced model category structures, of which the injective model structure on a diagram category is an important example. We further develop the notions of fibrant generation and Postnikov presentation from Hess, which are dual to a weak form of cofibrant generation a...
The real singular cohomology ring of a homogeneous space $G/K$, interpreted as the real Borel equivariant cohomology $H^*_K(G)$, was historically the first computation of equivariant cohomology of any nontrivial connected group action. After early approaches using the Cartan model for equivariant cohomology with real ...
Let G be a connected complex Lie group. We show that any flat principal G-bundle over any finite CW-complex pulls back to a trivial bundle over some finite covering space of the base space if and only if each real characteristic class of positive degree of G vanishes.
The d.g. operad C of cellular chains on the operad of spineless cacti is isomorphic to the Gerstenhaber-Voronov operad codifying the cup product and brace operations on the Hochschild cochains of an associative algebra, and to the suboperad F_2X of the surjection operad. Its homology is the Gerstenhaber operad G. We c...
We functorially associate to each relative $\infty$-category $(R,W)$ a simplicial space $N^R_\infty(R,W)$, called its Rezk nerve (a straightforward generalization of Rezk&#39;s &#34;classification diagram&#34; construction for relative categories). We prove the following local and global universal properties of this c...
Bousfield and Kan&#39;s $\mathbb{Q}$-completion and fiberwise $\mathbb{Q}$-completion of spaces lead to two different approaches to the rational homotopy theory of non-simply connected spaces. In the first approach, a map is a weak equivalence if it induces an isomorphism on rational homology.
Let F be a finitely generated discrete group. Given a covering map H to G of Lie groups with G either compact or complex reductive, there is an induced covering map Hom(F, H) to Hom(F, G).
In this paper we propose a new treatment about infinite dimensional manifolds, using the language of category and functor. Our definition of infinite dimensional manifolds is a natural generalization of finite dimensional manifolds in the sense that de Rham cohomology and singular cohomology can be naturally defined a...
We import into homotopy theory the algebro-geometric construction of the cotangent space of a geometric point on a scheme. Specializing to the category of spectra local to a Morava $K$-theory of height $d$, we show that this can be used to produce a choice-free model of the determinantal sphere as well as an efficient...
