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 ...
Our objective is to show a possibly interesting structure of homotopic nature appearing in persistent (co)homology. Assuming that the filtration of a simplicial set embedded in induces a multiplicative filtration on the dg algebra of simplicial cochains, w ...
Consider a fibration sequence of topological spaces which is preserved as such by some functor , so that is again a fibration sequence. Pull the fibration back along an arbitrary map into the base space. Does the pullback fibration enjoy the same property? ...
In this paper we determine the motivic class---in particular, the weight polynomial and conjecturally the Poincar'e polynomial---of the open de Rham space, defined and studied by Boalch, of certain moduli of irregular meromorphic connections on the trivia ...
The vast number of propagating solutions to the wave equation in multimode optical fibers represents a larger information capacity than provided by fiber bundles of the same diameter. Therefore, in the field of imaging, multimode fibers potentially allow t ...
Consider a push-out diagram of spaces C B, construct the homotopy push-out, and then the homotopy pull-back of the diagram one gets by forgetting the initial object A. We compare the difference between A and this homotopy pull-back. This difference ...
We present a detailed computation of the cyclic and the Hochschild homology and cohomology of generic and 3-Calabi–Yau homogeneous down–up algebras. This family was defined by Benkart and Roby in [3] in their study of differential posets. Our calculations ...
Internal fluid pressure often plays an important role in the rupture of brittle materials. This is a major concern for many engineering applications and for natural hazards. More specifically, the mechanisms through which fluid pressure, applied at a micro ...
Given a topological modular functor V in the sense of Walker, we construct vector bundles Z (lambda) over bar, over (M) over bar (g,n) whose Chern characters define semi-simple cohomological field theories. This construction depends on a determinati ...
Every principal G-bundle over X is classified up to equivalence by a homotopy class X -> BG, where BG is the classifying space of G. On the other hand, for every nice topological space X Milnor constructed a strict model of its loop space (Omega) over tild ...
