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 ...
To do homological algebra with unbounded chain complexes one needs to first find a way of constructing resolutions. Spal-tenstein solved this problem for chain complexes of R-modules by truncating further and further to the left, resolving the pieces, and ...
We present a sampling theory for a class of binary images with finite rate of innovation (FRI). Every image in our model is the restriction of \mathds1{p≤0} to the image plane, where \mathds1 denotes the indicator function and p is some r ...
We prove existence results à 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 fro ...
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 ...
Let M be a monoidal category endowed with a distinguished class of weak equivalences and with appropriately compatible classifying bundles for monoids and comonoids. We define and study homotopy-invariant notions of normality for maps of monoids and of con ...
It is shown that 2-dimensional subdivisions can be made regular by moving their vertices within parallel 1-dimensional spaces. As a consequence, any 2-dimensional subdivision is projected from the boundary complex of a 4-polytope. ...
A polyhedral subdivision of a d-dimensional point configuration A is k-regular if it is projected from the boundary complex of a polytope with dimension at most d+k. Call γk(A) the subgraph induced by k-regular triangulations in the flip-graph of A. Gel’fa ...
The starting point for this project is the article of Kathryn Hess [11]. In this article, a homotopic version of monadic descent is developed. In the classical setting, one constructs a category D(𝕋) of coalgebras in the Eilenberg-Moore category of ...
