Cochains are all you need

Kelly Spry Maggs

In this thesis, we apply cochain complexes as an algebraic model of space in a diverse range of mathematical and scientific settings. We begin with an algebraic-discrete Morse theory model of auto-encoding cochain data, connecting the homotopy theory of d ...

Waldhausen K-theory of spaces via comodules

Kathryn Hess Bellwald

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 ...

A counter-example to a conjecture of Felix

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 ...

The loop group and the cobar construction

Kathryn Hess Bellwald

We prove that for any 1-reduced simplicial set X, Adams' cobar construction, on the normalised chain complex of X is naturally a strong deformation retract of the normalised chains CGX on the Kan loop group GX, opening up the possibility of applying the to ...

Analysis of a one-dimensional free boundary flow problem

Jacques Rappaz, Alexandre Caboussat

A one-dimensional free surface problem is considered. It consists in Burgers' equation with an additional diffusion term on a moving interval. The well-posedness of the problem is investigated and existence and uniqueness results are obtained locally in ti ...

Modèles tordus d'espaces de lacets libres et fonctionnels

Sylvestre Blanc

In this PhD thesis, we construct an explicit algebraic model over Z of the cochains of the free loop space of a 1-connected space X. We start from an enriched Adams-Hilton model of X, which can be obtained relatively easily when X is the realisation of a s ...
