In this thesis, we give a modern treatment of Dwyer's tame homotopy theory using the language of ∞-categories.We introduce the notion of tame spectra and show it has a concrete algebraic description.We then carry out a study of ∞-operads and ...
In this thesis, we study the homotopical relations of 2-categories, double categories, and their infinity-analogues. For this, we construct homotopy theories for the objects of interest, and show that there are homotopically full embeddings of 2-categories ...
Topological charge plays a significant role in a range of physical systems. In particular, observations of real-space topological objects in magnetic materials have been largely limited to skyrmions - states with a unitary topological charge. Recently, mor ...
The cotangent complex of a map of commutative rings is a central object in deformation theory. Since the 1990s, it has been generalized to the homotopical setting of E-infinity-ring spectra in various ways. In this work we first establish, in the context o ...
We provide a new description of the complex computing the Hochschild homology of an -unitary -algebra as a derived tensor product such that: (1) there is a canonical morphism from it to the complex computing the cyclic homology of that was introduced by Ko ...
We apply the Acyclicity Theorem of Hess, Kedziorek, Riehl, and Shipley (recently corrected by Garner, Kedziorek, and Riehl) to establishing the existence of model category structure on categories of coalgebras over comonads arising from simplicial adjuncti ...
The homotopy continuation method has been widely used to compute multiple solutions of nonlinear differential equations, but the computational cost grows exponentially based on the traditional finite difference and finite element discretizations. In this w ...
Previously (Adv. Math. 360 (2020) art. id. 106895), we introduced a class (Z) over tilde of 2-local finite spectra and showed that all spectra Z is an element of (Z) over tilde admit a v(2)-self-map of periodicity 1. The aim here is to compute the K(2)-loc ...
Polymers when self-cross-linked into single-chain nanoparticles bear some resemblance to folded proteins; yet proteins have clear energy landscapes that determine precisely folded structures, while single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) have more undef ...
In the first part of this paper, we propose a uniform interpretation of characteristic classes as obstructions to the reduction of the structure group and to the existence of an equivariant extension of a certain homomorphism defined a priori only on a sin ...
