AbstractWe study Maurer–Cartan moduli spaces of dg algebras and associated dg categories and show that, while not quasi-isomorphism invariants, they are invariants of strong homotopy type, a natural notion that has not been studied before. We prove, in several different contexts, Schlessinger–Stasheff type theorems comparing the notions of homotopy and gauge equivalence for Maurer–Cartan elements as well as their categorified versions. As an application, we re-prove and generalize Block–Smith’s higher Riemann–Hilbert correspondence, and develop its analogue for simplicial complexes and topological spaces.

Abstract We construct explicit elements $W_{ij}^k$ in (a completion of) the shifted quantum toroidal algebra of type $A$ and show that these elements act by 0 on the $K$-theory of moduli spaces of parabolic sheaves. We expect that the quotient of the shifted quantum toroidal algebra by the ideal generated by the elements $W_{ij}^k$ will be related to $q$-deformed $W$-algebras of type $A$ for arbitrary nilpotent, which would imply a $q$-deformed version of the Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa (AGT) correspondence between gauge theory with surface operators and conformal field theory.

International audience We present a family of simplicial complexes called \emphmulti-cluster complexes. These complexes generalize the concept of cluster complexes, and extend the notion of multi-associahedra of types ${A}$ and ${B}$ to general finite Coxeter groups. We study combinatorial and geometric properties of these objects and, in particular, provide a simple combinatorial description of the compatibility relation among the set of almost positive roots in the cluster complex. Nous présentons une famille de complexes simpliciaux appelés \emphcomplexes des multi-amas. Ces complexes généralisent le concept de complexes des amas et étendent la notion de multi-associaèdre de type ${A}$ et ${B}$ aux groupes de Coxeter finis. Nous étudions des propriétés combinatoires et géométriques de ces objets et, en particulier nous fournissons une description combinatoire simple de la relation de compatibilité sur l'ensemble des racines presque positives du complexe des amas.


A few decades ago, topologists had already emphasized the difference between homotopy and isotopy. However, recent developments in algebraic topology are almost exclusively on the side of homotopy. Since a complete system of homotopy invariants has been obtained by Postnikov, it seems that hereafter we should pay more attention to isotopy invariants and new efforts should be made to attack the classical problems. The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study new algebraic isotopy invariants of spaces. A general method of constructing these invariants is given by means of a class of functors called isotopy functors. Special isotopy functors are constructed in this paper, namely, the m th residual functor R m and the m th. enveloping functor E m . Applications of these isotopy invariants to linear graphs are given in the last two sections. It turns out that these invariants can distinguish various spaces belonging to the same homotopy type.

Let cat be the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category structure as defined by Whitehead [6] and let be the category structure as defined by Ganea [2],We prove thatandIt is known that w ∑ cat X = conil X for connected X. Dually, if X is simply connected,1. We work in the category of based topological spaces with the based homotopy type of CW-complexes and based homotopy classes of maps. We do not distinguish between a map and its homotopy class. Constant maps are denoted by 0 and identity maps by 1.We recall some notions from Peterson's theory of structures [5; 1] which unify the definitions of the numerical homotopy invariants akin to the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category.

AbstractIn this paper we use Takeuchy–Ulbrich's cohomology of complexes of categories with abelian group structure to introduce a cohomology theory for simplicial sets, or topological spaces, with coefficients in symmetric cat-groups . This cohomology is the usual one when abelian groups are taken as coefficients, and the main topological significance of this cohomology is the fact that it is equivalent to the reduced cohomology theory defined by a Ω-spectrum, {}, canonically associated to . We use the spaces to prove that symmetric cat-groups model all homotopy type of spaces X with Πi(X) = 0 for all i ╪ n, n + 1 and n ≥ 3, and then we extend Eilenberg–MacLane's classification theorem to those spaces: .

We prove that the rack and quandle spaces of links in 3-manifolds, considered only as topological spaces (disregarding their cubical structure), are closely related to certain subspaces of the loop spaces on the 3-manifold, which we call the vertical and the straight loop space of the link. Using these models we prove that the homotopy type of the non-augmented rack and quandle spaces of a link L in a 3-manifold M depends essentially only on the homotopy type of the pair (M,M -L).

AbstractWe study the connectedness of the moduli space of gauge equivalence classes of flat G-connections on a compact orientable surface or a compact nonorientable surface for a class of compact connected Lie groups. This class includes all the compact, connected, simply connected Lie groups, and some non-semisimple classical groups.
