Non-associative geometry and discrete structure of spacetime

Alexander I. Nesterov, Lev Vasilʹevich Sabinin (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A new mathematical theory, non-associative geometry, providing a unified algebraic description of continuous and discrete spacetime, is introduced.

Open subgroups of free topological groups

Jeremy Brazas (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The theory of covering spaces is often used to prove the Nielsen-Schreier theorem, which states that every subgroup of a free group is free. We apply the more general theory of semicovering spaces to obtain analogous subgroup theorems for topological groups: Every open subgroup of a free Graev topological group is a free Graev topological group. An open subgroup of a free Markov topological group is a free Markov topological group if and only if it is disconnected.

Orbit projections as fibrations

Armin Rainer (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The orbit projection π M M / G of a proper G -manifold M is a fibration if and only if all points in M are regular. Under additional assumptions we show that π is a quasifibration if and only if all points are regular. We get a full answer in the equivariant category: π is a G -quasifibration if and only if all points are regular.

Orbit projections of proper Lie groupoids as fibrations

Armin Rainer (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let 𝒢 M be a source locally trivial proper Lie groupoid such that each orbit is of finite type. The orbit projection M M / 𝒢 is a fibration if and only if 𝒢 M is regular.

Quantum classifying spaces and universal quantum characteristic classes

Mićo Đurđević (1997)

Banach Center Publications

A construction of the noncommutative-geometric counterparts of classical classifying spaces is presented, for general compact matrix quantum structure groups. A quantum analogue of the classical concept of the classifying map is introduced and analyzed. Interrelations with the abstract algebraic theory of quantum characteristic classes are discussed. Various non-equivalent approaches to defining universal characteristic classes are outlined.
