Quantitative nullhomotopy and rational homotopy type
• Mathematics
• 2016
In a 2014 survey, Gromov asks the following question: given a nullhomotopic map $${f:S^{m} \to S^{n}}$$f:Sm→Sn of Lipschitz constant L, how does the Lipschitz constant of an optimal nullhomotopy of f
Embedding the Heisenberg group into a bounded-dimensional Euclidean space with optimal distortion
This paper shows that one can in fact retain the optimal distortion bound $O( \varepsilon^{-1/2} )$ and still embed into a bounded dimensional space ${\mathbf R}^D$, answering a question of Naor and Neiman.

The workshop concentrated on the interplay of advances in the understanding of manifolds and geometric group theory. In particular, we discussed mapping class groups and moduli spaces of manifolds
Algorithmic aspects of immersibility and embeddability
• Mathematics, Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2018
It is shown that the smooth embeddability of an $m$-manifold with boundary in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is undecidable when $n-m$ is even and $11m \geq 10n+1$.
Plato’s cave and differential forms
In the 1970s and again in the 1990s, Gromov gave a number of theorems and conjectures motivated by the notion that the real homotopy theory of compact manifolds and simplicial complexes influences

Suppose [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are finite complexes, with [Formula: see text] simply connected. Gromov conjectured that the number of mapping classes in [Formula: see text] which
Yang–Mills Measure on the Two-Dimensional Torus as a Random Distribution

We introduce a space of distributional 1-forms $$\Omega ^1_\alpha$$Ωα1 on the torus $$\mathbf {T}^2$$T2 for which holonomies along axis paths are well-defined and induce Hölder continuous functions
Recent progress in quantitative topology
We discuss recent work of Chambers, Dotterrer, Ferry, Manin, and Weinberger, which resolved a fundamental question in quantitative topology: if f : Sm ! Sn is a contractible map with Lipschitz
Quantitative nullhomotopy and the Hopf Invariant
Let G : S → S be a map with nonzero Hopf Invariant. Using the generalized Hopf invariant introduced by Haj lasz, Schikorra and Tyson, we show that any null-homotopy F : B → B of G with small (2n +

We establish enhanced bounds on Cheeger–Gromov [Formula: see text]-invariants for general 3-manifolds and yet stronger bounds for special classes of 3-manifold. As key ingredients, we construct chain

Non-recursive functions, knots “with thick ropes,” and self-clenching “thick” hyperspheres
We introduce an approach to certain geometric variational problems based on the use of the algorithmic unrecognizability of the n-dimensional sphere for n ≥ 5. Sometimes this approach allows one to

This work presents explicit bounded degree cosystolic expanders of every dimension and provides a local to global criterion on a complex that implies cosyStolic expansion, which solves affirmatively an open question raised by Gromov, whether there exist bounded degree complexes with the topological overlapping property in every dimension.

We consider several ways to measure the geometric complexity' of an embedding from a simplicial complex into Euclidean space. One of these is a version of thickness', based on a paper of Kolmogorov

The algorithm can accommodate abstract manifolds that are not presented as submanifolds of Euclidean space and is naturally endowed with a piecewise-flat metric, when the original manifold is Riemannian.
Enumeration ofQ-acyclic simplicial complexes
Let (n, k) be the class of all simplicial complexesC over a fixed set ofn vertices (2≦k≦n) such that: (1)C has a complete (k−1)-skeleton, (2)C has precisely (kn−1)k-faces, (3)Hk(C)=0. We prove that
