We introduce techniques of Suslin, Voevodsky, and others into the study of singular varieties. Our approach is modeled after Goresky–MacPherson intersection homology. We provide a formulation of perversity cycle spaces leading to perversity homology theory and a companion perversity cohomology theory based on generalized cocycle spaces. These theories lead to conditions on pairs of cycles which can be intersected and a suitable equivalence relation on cocycles/cycles enabling pairings on equivalence classes. We establish suspension and splitting theorems, as well as a localization property. Some examples of intersections on singular varieties are computed.

We investigate a generalization to non-Witt stratified spaces of the intersection homology theory of Goresky–MacPherson. The second-named author has described the self-dual sheaves compatible with intersection homology, and the other authors have described a generalization of Cheeger's L2 de Rham cohomology. In this paper we first extend both of these cohomology theories by describing all sheaf complexes in the derived category of constructible sheaves that are compatible with middle perversity intersection cohomology, though not necessarily self-dual. Our main result is that this refined intersection cohomology theory coincides with the analytic de Rham theory on Thom–Mather stratified spaces. The word "refined" is motivated by the fact that the definition of this cohomology theory depends on the choice of an additional structure (mezzo-perversity) which is automatically zero in the case of a Witt space.

The theory of intersection spaces assigns cell complexes to certain stratified topological pseudomanifolds depending on a perversity function in the sense of intersection homology. The main property of the intersection spaces is Poincaré duality over complementary perversities for the reduced singular (co)homology groups with rational coefficients. This (co)homology theory is not isomorphic to intersection homology, instead they are related by mirror symmetry. Using differential forms, Banagl extended the intersection space cohomology theory to 2-strata pseudomanifolds with a geometrically flat link bundle. In this paper, we use differential forms on manifolds with corners to generalize the intersection space cohomology theory to a class of 3-strata spaces with flatness assumptions for the link bundles. We prove Poincaré duality over complementary perversities for the cohomology groups. To do so, we investigate fiber bundles on manifolds with boundary. At the end, we give examples for the application of the theory.

We present a geometric approach to the study of singular switched linear systems, defining a Lie group action on the differentiable manifold consisting of the matrices defining their subsystems with orbits coinciding with equivalence classes under an equivalence relation which preserves reachability and derive miniversal (orthogonal) deformations of the system. We relate this with some new results on reachability of such systems.

The existence of apparently coincidental equalities (also called Wilf-equivalences) between the enumeration sequences or generating functions of various hereditary classes of combinatorial structures has attracted significant interest. We investigate such coincidences among non-crossing matchings and a variety of other Catalan structures including Dyck paths, 231-avoiding permutations and plane forests. In particular we consider principal subclasses defined by not containing an occurrence of a single given structure. An easily computed equivalence relation among structures is described such that if two structures are equivalent then the associated principal subclasses have the same enumeration sequence. We give an asymptotic estimate of the number of equivalence classes of this relation among structures of size $n$ and show that it is exponentially smaller than the $n^{th}$ Catalan number. In other words these "coincidental" equalities are in fact very common among principal subclasses. Our results also allow us to prove in a unified and bijective manner several known Wilf-equivalences from the literature.

A natural approach to topology which emphasizes its geometric essence independent of the notion of points is given by the concept of frame (for instance [4], [8]). We consider this a good formalization of the intuitive perception of a space as given by the “places” of non-trivial extent with appropriate geometric relations between them. Viewed from this position, points are artefacts determined by collections of places which may in some sense by considered as collapsing or contracting; the precise meaning of the latter as well as possible notions of equivalence being largely arbitrary, one may indeed have different notions of point on the same “space”. Of course, the well-known notion of a point as a homomorphism into 2 evidently fits into this pattern by the familiar correspondence between these and the completely prime filters. For frames equipped with a diameter as considered in this paper, we introduce a natural alternative, the Cauchy points. These are the obvious counterparts, for metric locales, of equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences familiar from the classical description of completion of metric spaces: indeed they are decreasing sequences for which the diameters tend to zero, identified by a natural equivalence relation.

In the papers [11] and [18] Rohlin and Thom have introduced an equivalence relation into the set of compact orientable (not necessarily connected) differentiable manifolds, which, roughly speaking, is described in the following manner: two differentiable manifolds are equivalent (cobordantes), when they together form the boundary of a bounded differentiable manifold. The equivalence classes can be added and multiplied in a natural way and form a graded algebra Ω relative to the addition, the multiplication and the dimension of manifolds. The precise structures of the groups of cobordism Ωk of dimension k are not known thoroughly. Thom [18] has determined the free part of Ω and also calculated explicitly Ωk for 0 ≦ k ≦ 7.

We introduce the concepts of a bipolar fuzzy reflexive, symmetric, and transitive relation. We study bipolar fuzzy analogues of many results concerning relationships between ordinary reflexive, symmetric, and transitive relations. Next, we define the concepts of a bipolar fuzzy equivalence class and a bipolar fuzzy partition, and we prove that the set of all bipolar fuzzy equivalence classes is a bipolar fuzzy partition and that the bipolar fuzzy equivalence relation is induced by a bipolar fuzzy partition. Finally, we define an ( a , b ) -level set of a bipolar fuzzy relation and investigate some relationships between bipolar fuzzy relations and their ( a , b ) -level sets.

AbstractWe show that there is a complete, consistent Borel theory which has no “Borel model” in the following strong sense: There is no structure satisfying the theory for which the elements of the structure are equivalence classes under some Borel equivalence relation and the interpretations of the relations and function symbols are uniformly Borel.We also investigate Borel isomorphisms between Borel structures.

AbstractPeople usually regard algorithms as more abstract than the programs that implement them. The natural way to formalize this idea is that algorithms are equivalence classes of programs with respect to a suitable equivalence relation. We argue that no such equivalence relation exists.
