  1. 1
    A Proof of The Sharpness Conjectures for All Saturated Fusion Systems

    We prove the Díaz$\unicode[Arial]{x2013}$Park conjecture for sharpness of saturated fusion systems.

  2. 2
    Stable Compatibility for Model Categories

    By introducing the notion of stable compatibility, we provide a framework in the model category theory which addresses the existence of a stable model structure on the category of modules over a monad.

  3. 3
    Unfolding of Symmetric Monoidal $(\infty,n)$-categories

    We prove Lurie's proposed description of left rigid symmetric monoidal $(\infty,n)$-categories in terms of purely $\infty$-categorical data.

  4. 4
    Some Geometric Applications of The Discrete Heat Flow

    We present two geometric applications of heat flow methods on the discrete hypercube { - 1 , 1 } n .

  5. 5
    Landscape Intervals: A Geometric Framework for Multiparameter Persistence Landscapes

    In this paper, we introduce the landscape interval, a subset of the parameter space of a multiparameter persistence module which records changes in the rank function in all directions simultaneously.

Get papers like these the day they come out, not a week later.

    Magnitude, Path and Coarse Homology

    In this article, we introduce Borel--Moore and uniformly finite versions of magnitude homology and path homology for locally finite graphs by allowing possibly infinite chains subject to local finiteness and boundedness conditions.

  2. 7
    Koszul Duality and Homotopy Algebras for Operads Over Quivers

    For a quiver $Q$, we introduce and study $Q$-operads (or operads over $Q$), defined as a special sort of $\mathbf{fc}$-multicategories or virtual double categories, in which the directions of the arrows of $Q$ encode the permitted input orderings.

  3. 8
    Floer Theory on Based Loops and Fundamental Groups of Lagrangians in $\mathbb{C}^n$

    We obtain new constraints on the topology of Lagrangian submanifolds in the standard symplectic vector space $\mathbb{C}^n$ using Floer theory on the based loop space, generalizing a theorem of Fukaya-Irie.

  4. 9
    Shades and Convexity of Hypersurfaces

    We show that $f$ is a convex embedding if and only if every shade is contractible.

    Motivic Eilenberg--Mac Lane Spaces at The Characteristic

    We provide a novel, homotopy theoretic model for the motivic Eilenberg--Mac Lane spaces $K(Z_{(p)}(n), 2n) \in Spc(k)$ over fields of characteristic p. Using this, we determine their motives and, consequently, determine the motivic Steenrod algebra at the characteristic.

    On The Complexity of Parametrized Motion Planning Algorithms

    Abstract. We study a probabilistic variant of the [Formula: see text]th sequential parametrized topological complexity, which bounds this classical invariant from below and measures the difficulty in constructing permissive parametrized motion planning algorithms.

  7. 12
    Topological Classification of Bazaikin Spaces

    In this paper, we establish a topological classification of Bazaikin spaces whose sixth cohomology groups have orders prime to \(5\).

  8. 13
    Equivariant Elliptic Cohomology Via Loop Spaces

    We construct a cohomology theory $H_A(-)$ canonically attached to any 1-dimensional commutative group scheme A over a connective $E_\infty$-ring.

  9. 14
    The $p$-local Topologoical Period-index Problem in Dimensions $2p+2$ and Below

    For any odd prime number $p$, we solve the topological period-index problem for a $p$-primary element of the Brauer group of a CW-complex of dimension not greater than $2p+2$.

  10. 15
    Higher Groupoids of Gauge Potentials in Higher Gauge Theories Admitting Weights

    We construct an explicit small model for the $\infty$-groupoid of null-concordances of higher gauge curvatures by algorithmically trivializing their nonlinear Bianchi identities.

  11. 16
    The Tensor Triangular Geometry of Valuation Domains

    We study the tensor triangular geometry of derived categories of valuation domains, obtaining complete ring-theoretic characterizations of their main structural properties.

  12. 17
    Odd-Degree Rigidity and A Numerical Characterization of Complete Flag Varieties

    We prove that if a smooth Fano variety $X$ has the same dimension and Picard number as $F$, then the existence of a continuous map $X\to F$ of odd topological degree implies $X$ is isomorphic to $F$.

  13. 18
    An Explicit Shuffle Construction of The Homotopy Span Model of Differential Linear Logic

    We give a direct and explicit construction of the homotopy span model of linear logic originally formulated by Melliès using abstract homotopy theory in the Quillen category Cat of small categories equipped with its natural model structure.

  14. 19
    The Universal Property of The Decomposition Space of Quasisymmetric Functions

    Aguiar, Bergeron, and Sottile showed that the coalgebra of quasisymmetric functions is terminal among connected graded coalgebras with a zeta function. After developing the notions of gradings and zeta functions for decomposition spaces, we establish an objective homotopic version of this result.

  15. 20
    Multipartite Entanglement, TQFT Partition Functions and PL Bordism

    In this paper we determine which combinations of partition functions can be isolated from the non-universal factors.
