Topological charge plays a significant role in a range of physical systems. In particular, observations of real-space topological objects in magnetic materials have been largely limited to skyrmions - states with a unitary topological charge. Recently, mor ...
In this thesis, we study interactions between algebraic and coalgebraic structures in infinity-categories (more precisely, in the quasicategorical model of (infinity, 1)-categories). We define a notion of a Hopf algebra H in an E-2-monoidal infinity-catego ...
Phase synchronizations in models of coupled oscillators such as the Kuramoto model have been widely studied with pairwise couplings on arbitrary topologies, showing many unexpected dynamical behaviors. Here, based on a recent formulation the Kuramoto model ...
Shadows for bicategories, defined by Ponto, provide a useful framework that generalizes classical and topological Hochschild homology. In this paper, we define Hochschild-type invariants for monoids in a symmetric monoidal, simplicial model category V, as ...
The buzzword in industrial policy and innovation policy circles is mission-oriented innovation policy (MOIP) -which means a policy to encourage innovation intended to accomplish a certain missionwhether it be a societal challenge (climate change, global he ...
In this thesis, we study the homotopical relations of 2-categories, double categories, and their infinity-analogues. For this, we construct homotopy theories for the objects of interest, and show that there are homotopically full embeddings of 2-categories ...
We prove that four different ways of defining Cartesian fibrations and the Cartesian model structure are all Quillen equivalent: 1.On marked simplicial sets (due to Lurie [31]), 2.On bisimplicial spaces (due to deBrito [12]), 3.On bisimplicial sets, 4.On m ...
The cotangent complex of a map of commutative rings is a central object in deformation theory. Since the 1990s, it has been generalized to the homotopical setting of E-infinity-ring spectra in various ways. In this work we first establish, in the context o ...
We define filter quotients of -categories and prove that filter quotients preserve the structure of an elementary -topos and in particular lift the filter quotient of the underlying elementary topos. We then specialize to the case of filter products of -ca ...
We apply the Acyclicity Theorem of Hess, Kedziorek, Riehl, and Shipley (recently corrected by Garner, Kedziorek, and Riehl) to establishing the existence of model category structure on categories of coalgebras over comonads arising from simplicial adjuncti ...
Semiconductor nanowires have demonstrated exciting properties for nanophotonics, sensors, energy technologies and end-of-roadmap and beyond-roadmap electronic devices. Fabrication schemes for nanowires are varied, but they fall into three general categorie ...
This thesis is part of a program initiated by Riehl and Verity to study the category theory of (infinity,1)-categories in a model-independent way. They showed that most models of (infinity,1)-categories form an infinity-cosmos K, which is essentially a cat ...
A common technique for producing a new model category structure is to lift the fibrations and weak equivalences of an existing model structure along a right adjoint. Formally dual but technically much harder is to lift the cofibrations and weak equivalence ...
We prove that the category of rational SO(2)-equivariant spectra has a simple algebraic model. Furthermore, all of our model categories and Quillen equivalences are monoidal, so we can use this classification to understand ring spectra and module spectra v ...
A material is intrinsically ductile under Mode I loading when the critical stress intensity K-Ie for dislocation emission is lower than the critical stress intensity K-Ic for cleavage. K-Ie is usually evaluated using the approximate Rice theory, which pred ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 an earlier work, we constructed the almost strict Morse n-category X which extends Cohen Sz Jones Sz Segal's flow category. In this article, we define two other almost strict n-categories V and W where V is based on homomorphisms between real vector spa ...
