Collapsing cell complexes was first introduced in the 1930's as a way to deform a space into a topological-equivalent subspace with a sequence of elementary moves. Recently, discrete Morse theory techniques provided an efficient way to construct deformatio ...
The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of g ...

We investigate the theory of principal bundles from a homotopical point of view. In the first part of the thesis, we prove a classification of principal bundles over a fixed base space, dual to the well-known classification of bundles with a fixed structur ...
Let X be a simplicial set. We construct a novel adjunction be- tween the categories RX of retractive spaces over X and ComodX+ of X+- comodules, then apply recent work on left-induced model category structures [5], [16] to establish the existence of a left ...
The steel slit panel–frame is a new system for seismic resistance of buildings. The steel slit panels are bolted to beams which are simply connected to the columns. The steel slit panels are steel plates with rows of vertical slits forming a series of flex ...
If X is a simply connected space of finite type, then the rational homotopy groups of the based loop space of X possess the structure of a graded Lie algebra, denoted L-x. The radical of L-x, which is an important rational homotopy invariant of X, is of fi ...
We consider two basic problems of algebraic topology: the extension problem and the computation of higher homotopy groups, from the point of view of computability and computational complexity. The extension problem is the following: Given topological space ...
Working in the context of symmetric spectra, we describe and study a homotopy completion tower for algebras and left modules over operads in the category of modules over a commutative ring spectrum (eg structured ring spectra). We prove a strong convergenc ...
Let K be a comonad on a model category M. We provide conditions under which the associated category of K-coalgebras admits a model category structure such that the forgetful functor to M creates both cofibrations and weak equivalences. We provide concrete ...
