An infinitary version of Sperner's Lemma

Aarno Hohti (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We prove an extension of the well-known combinatorial-topological lemma of E. Sperner to the case of infinite-dimensional cubes. It is obtained as a corollary to an infinitary extension of the Lebesgue Covering Dimension Theorem.

An infinite torus braid yields a categorified Jones-Wenzl projector

Lev Rozansky (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A sequence of Temperley-Lieb algebra elements corresponding to torus braids with growing twisting numbers converges to the Jones-Wenzl projector. We show that a sequence of categorification complexes of these braids also has a limit which may serve as a categorification of the Jones-Wenzl projector.

An introduction to gerbes on orbifolds

Ernesto Lupercio, Bernardo Uribe (2004)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

This paper is a gentle introduction to some recent results involving the theory of gerbes over orbifolds for topologists, geometers and physicists. We introduce gerbes on manifolds, orbifolds, the Dixmier-Douady class, Beilinson-Deligne orbifold cohomology, Cheeger-Simons orbifold cohomology and string connections.

An introduction to the abelian Reidemeister torsion of three-dimensional manifolds

Gwénaël Massuyeau (2011)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

These notes accompany some lectures given at the autumn school “Tresses in Pau” in October 2009. The abelian Reidemeister torsion for 3 -manifolds, and its refinements by Turaev, are introduced. Some applications, including relations between the Reidemeister torsion and other classical invariants, are surveyed.
