Abstract For a map $$f:X\rightarrow Y$$ f : X → Y , there is the relative model $$M(Y)=(\Lambda V,d)\rightarrow (\Lambda V\otimes \Lambda W,D)\simeq M(X)$$ M ( Y ) = ( Λ V , d ) → ( Λ V ⊗ Λ W , D ) ≃ M ( X ) by Sullivan model theory (Félix et al., Rational homotopy theory, graduate texts in mathematics, Springer, Berlin, 2007). Let $$\mathrm{Baut}_1X$$ Baut 1 X be the Dold–Lashof classifying space of orientable fibrations with fiber X (Dold and Lashof, Ill J Math 3:285–305, 1959]). Its DGL (differential graded Lie algebra)-model is given by the derivations $$\mathrm{Der}M(X)$$ Der M ( X ) of the Sullivan minimal model M(X) of X. Then we consider the condition that the restriction $$b_f:\mathrm{Der} (\Lambda V\otimes \Lambda W,D)\rightarrow \mathrm{Der}(\Lambda V,d) $$ b f : Der ( Λ V ⊗ Λ W , D ) → Der ( Λ V , d ) is a DGL-map and the related topics.

The theory of minimal models, as developed by Sullivan [6; 8; 16] gives a method of computing the rational homotopy groups of a space X (that is, the homotopy groups of X tensored with the additive group of rationals Q). One associates to X a free, differential, graded-commutative lgebra , over Q, called the minimal model of X, from which one can read off the rational homotopy groups of X.

We developed the heuristic method of conformal linearization for a wide class of W (super)algebras and obtained the general formulas for corresponding conformal linearizing algebras with finite set of currents. The general constructions are illustrated by the examples of u (N) superconformal, W(sl(N), sl(2)), W(sl(N), sl(N)) as well as W(sl(N), sl(3)) algebras. The “chain” structure of embeddings for the W(sl(N), sl(N)) linearizing algebras is observed. A spectrum of central charges of u(N) superconformal, W(sl(N), sl(2)) and W(sl(N), sl(3)) minimal models is predicted.

AbstractWe formulate a ℤk-parafermionization/bosonization scheme for one-dimensional lattice models and field theories on a torus, starting from a generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation on a lattice, which extends the Majorana-Ising duality atk= 2. The ℤk-parafermionization enables us to investigate the critical theories of parafermionic chains whose fundamental degrees of freedom are parafermionic, and we find that their criticality cannot be described by any existing conformal field theory. The modular transformations of these parafermionic low-energy critical theories as general consistency conditions are found to be unconventional in that their partition functions on a torus transform differently from any conformal field theory whenk >2. Explicit forms of partition functions are obtained by the developed parafermionization for a large class of critical ℤk-parafermionic chains, whose operator contents are intrinsically distinct from any bosonic or fermionic model in terms of conformal spins and statistics. We also use the parafermionization to exhaust all the ℤk-parafermionic minimal models, complementing earlier works on fermionic cases.

Abstract We investigate perturbatively tractable deformations of topological defects in two-dimensional conformal field theories. We perturbatively compute the change in the g-factor, the reflectivity, and the entanglement entropy of the conformal defect at the end of these short RG flows. We also give instances of such flows in the diagonal Virasoro and Super-Virasoro Minimal Models.

We generalize the notion of coupled fixed (or best proximity) points for cyclic ordered pairs of maps to p-cyclic ordered pairs of maps. We find sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the coupled fixed (or best proximity) points. We illustrate the results with an example that covers a wide class of maps.

Abstract This work is concerned with a system of two singular viscoelastic equations with general source terms and nonlocal boundary conditions. We discuss the stabilization of this system under a very general assumption on the behavior of the relaxation function $k_{i}$ k i , namely, $$\begin{aligned} k_{i}^{\prime }(t)\le -\xi _{i}(t) \Psi _{i} \bigl(k_{i}(t)\bigr),\quad i=1,2. \end{aligned}$$ k i ′ ( t ) ≤ − ξ i ( t ) Ψ i ( k i ( t ) ) , i = 1 , 2 . We establish a new general decay result that improves most of the existing results in the literature related to this system. Our result allows for a wider class of relaxation functions, from which we can recover the exponential and polynomial rates when $k_{i}(s) = s^{p}$ k i ( s ) = s p and p covers the full admissible range $[1, 2)$ [ 1 , 2 ) .

Abstract Functions of dimension modulo a (rather wide) class of spaces are considered and the conditions are found, under which the dimension of the product of spaces modulo these classes is equal to zero. Based on these results, the sufficient conditions are established, under which spaces of free topological semigroups (in the sense of Marxen) and spaces of free topological groups (in the sense of Markov and Graev) are zero-dimensional modulo classes of compact spaces.

AbstractWe show that the notions of homotopy epimorphism and homological epimorphism in the category of differential graded algebras are equivalent. As an application we obtain a characterization of acyclic maps of topological spaces in terms of induced maps of their chain algebras of based loop spaces. In the case of a universal acyclic map we obtain, for a wide class of spaces, an explicit algebraic description for these induced maps in terms of derived localization.
