Homotopy hypothesis

In category theory, a branch of mathematics, Grothendieck's homotopy hypothesis states that the ∞-groupoids are spaces. If we model our ∞-groupoids as Kan complexes, then the homotopy types of the geometric realizations of these sets give models for every homotopy type. It is conjectured that there are many different "equivalent" models for ∞-groupoids all which can be realized as homotopy types. (Wikipedia).

Introduction to Homotopy Theory- PART 1: UNIVERSAL CONSTRUCTIONS

The goal of this series is to develop homotopy theory from a categorical perspective, alongside the theory of model categories. We do this with the hope of eventually developing stable homotopy theory, a personal goal a passion of mine. I'm going to follow nLab's notes, but I hope to add t

Homomorphisms in abstract algebra

In this video we add some more definition to our toolbox before we go any further in our study into group theory and abstract algebra. The definition at hand is the homomorphism. A homomorphism is a function that maps the elements for one group to another whilst maintaining their structu

Homomorphisms in abstract algebra examples

Yesterday we took a look at the definition of a homomorphism. In today's lecture I want to show you a couple of example of homomorphisms. One example gives us a group, but I take the time to prove that it is a group just to remind ourselves of the properties of a group. In this video th

Francesca Tombari (5/9/22): What's behind the homotopical decomposition of a simplicial complex

Decomposing a simplicial complex by taking a covering of its vertices does not necessarily preserves the homotopy type of the original one. Thus, there is no hope in general to retrieve the homotopy type of the Vietoris-Rips complex of a metric space, just by studying Vietoris-Rips complex

Francesca Tombari (8/27/21): Decomposing simplicial complexes (without losing pieces)

When we decompose a simplicial complex and reassemble it, it might happen that the resulting complex has a different homotopy type from the initial one. However, it is sometimes possible to understand this change by looking at subcomplexes living in the intersection of the two decomposing

The diffeomorphism group $\mathrm{Diff}(M)$ of a closed manifold acts on the space $\mathcal{R}^+ (M)$ of positive scalar curvature metrics. For a basepoint $g$, we obtain an orbit map $\sigma_g: \mathrm{Diff}(M) \to \mathcal{R}^ (M)$ which induces a map $(\sigma_g)_*:\pi_*( \mathrm{Diff}(
