The Karoubi envelope and Lee's degeneration of Khovanov homology
We give a simple proof of Lee's result from [Adv. Math. 179 (2005) 554-586; arXiv:math.GT/0210213], that the dimension of the Lee variant of the Khovanov homology of a c-component link is 2^c, regardless of the number of crossings. Our method of proof is

Obstructions to homotopy invariance of loop coproduct via parameterized fixed‐point theory
Abstract Given f:M→N$f:M \rightarrow N$ a homotopy equivalence of compact manifolds with boundary, we use a construction of Geoghegan and Nicas to define its Reidemeister trace [T]∈π1st(LN,N)$[T] \in \pi _1^{st}(\mathcal {L}N, N)$. We realize the Goresky–Hingston coproduct as a map of spectra, and show that the failure of f$f$ to entwine the spectral ...

Families of singular algebraic varieties that are rationally elliptic spaces
Abstract We discuss families of hypersurfaces with isolated singularities in projective space with the property that the sum of the ranks of the rational homotopy and the homology groups is finite. They represent infinitely many distinct homotopy types with all hypersurfaces having a nef canonical or anti‐canonical class.

Simple groups with strong fixed‐point properties
Abstract We exhibit finitely generated torsion‐free groups for which any action on any finite‐dimensional CW‐complex with finite Betti numbers has a global fixed point.

Quantum Field Theory and Differential Geometry
We introduce the historical development and physical idea behind topological Yang-Mills theory and explain how a physical framework describing subatomic physics can be used as a tool to study differential geometry.

Profinite direct sums with applications to profinite groups of type ΦR$\Phi _R$
Abstract We show that the ‘profinite direct sum’ is a good notion of infinite direct sums for profinite modules, having properties similar to those of direct sums of abstract modules. For example, the profinite direct sum of projective modules is projective, and there is a Mackey's formula for profinite modules described using these sums.

On contact 3‐manifolds that admit a nonfree toric action
Abstract We classify all contact structures on 3‐manifolds that admit a nonfree toric action, up to contactomorphism, and present them through explicit topological descriptions. Our classification is based on Lerman's classification of toric contact 3‐manifolds up to equivariant contactomorphism [Lerman, J. Symplectic Geom. 1 (2003), 785–828].

Variable sets over an algebra of lifetimes: a contribution of lattice theory to the study of computational topology [PDF]
A topos theoretic generalisation of the category of sets allows for modelling spaces which vary according to time intervals. Persistent homology, or more generally, persistence is a central tool in topological data analysis, which examines the structure ...

Cohomology in electromagnetic modeling
Electromagnetic modeling provides an interesting context to present a link between physical phenomena and homology and cohomology theories. Over the past twenty-five years, a considerable effort has been invested by the computational electromagnetics ...

Algebraic K-theory of strict ring spectra
We view strict ring spectra as generalized rings. The study of their algebraic K-theory is motivated by its applications to the automorphism groups of compact manifolds.
