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 ...
Let G be a simply connected simple algebraic group over an al- gebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The category of rationalG-modules is not semisimple. We consider the question of when the tensorproduct of two simple G-modules L(λ) and L(μ) ...
We study correlation functions involving generalized ANEC operators of the form integral dx-x-n+2T--x -> in four dimensions. We compute two, three, and ...
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 ...
The theory of persistence, which arises from topological data analysis, has been intensively studied in the one-parameter case both theoretically and in its applications. However, its extension to the multi-parameter case raises numerous difficulties, wher ...
Problem statement. Cities hold a central role in global efforts towards sustainability, and integrating sustainability concerns into the governance of cities constitutes an increasingly urgent challenge. One avenue holding promise in this respect concerns ...
Elevated operating temperatures are expected in BIPV systems due to restricted or reduced rear-side ventilation, which impacts their performance and reliability. This work reports operating temperatures and diurnal (day-night) temperature variations of the ...
We classify the spherical birational sheets in a complex simple simply-connected algebraic group. We use the classification to show that, when G is a connected reductive complex algebraic group with simply-connected derived subgroup, two conjugacy classes ...
Conjugation spaces are topological spaces equipped with an involution such that their fixed points have the same mod 2 cohomology (as a graded vector space, a ring and even an unstable algebra) but with all degrees divided by two, generalizing the classica ...
