Yet to come
Magnitude homology and the magnitude-path spectral sequenceOpenClose
Magnitude homology, introduced by Hepworth and Willerton, is a bigraded homology of metric spaces that categorifies Leinster’s magnitude. Magnitude itself grew out of Euler characteristic in enriched category theory, and has since touched differential geometry, graphs, entropy, and biological diversity. The brief is the homology theory — Mayer–Vietoris and Künneth among its axioms — and the magnitude-path spectral sequence.
Hochschild homology and simplicial homologyOpenClose
To a simplicial complex one can attach the incidence algebra of its face poset. Gerstenhaber and Schack showed that the Hochschild cohomology of that algebra recovers the homology of the complex. The thesis is to study the relationship in its diagrammatic form.
Gröbner categories and representations of categoriesOpenClose
Sam and Snowden’s (quasi)-Gröbner categories satisfy combinatorial conditions strong enough that Noetherianity of functors generalizes the classical story. Applications include a rationality criterion for Hilbert series of representations, and a link with formal languages.
Homological stability for mapping class groupsOpenClose
Homological invariants of families of groups, and their stable homology. For some families — mapping class groups among them — it is easier to compute infinitely many homology groups at once than any single one. The proof is a spectral sequence, Quillen’s argument, including the case of 3-manifolds.
The Tarski–Seidenberg theoremOpenClose
At the crossing of geometry, algebra, model theory, and computer science: the projection of a semialgebraic set is still semialgebraic. The project is the theorem itself, and what it buys logic, algebraic geometry, and computational complexity.
Hilbert’s tenth problemOpenClose
Is there an algorithm that decides whether a given Diophantine equation has integer solutions? There is not. The aim is to unravel that proof, and to look at neighbouring decidability problems in number theory.
Sheaves in definable algebraic topologyOpenClose
Take sheaves from classical algebraic topology — quasicoherent, perhaps perverse — and recast them so that spaces of sections carry the structure of phantom Polish spaces.
Higher-order Schauder basesOpenClose
Schauder bases are basic to Banach space theory. Study their fundamental properties, then build higher-order generalizations indexed by walks on ordinals, with methods from analysis and set theory.
A very long CⁿOpenClose
TBA. The title is currently doing the work of an abstract.
Coarse groups, coarse spaces, and coarse geometryOpenClose
TBA. Bring a coarse structure, and a question.
