The fundamental weighted category of a weighted space (From directed to weighted algebraic topology)

We want to investigate 'spaces' where paths have a 'weight', or 'cost', expressing length, duration, price, energy, etc. The weight function is not assumed to be invariant up to path-reversion. Thus, 'weighted algebraic topology' can be developed as an enriched version of directed algebraic topology, where illicit paths are penalised with an infinite cost, and the licit ones are measured. Its algebraic counterpart will be 'weighted algebraic structures', equipped with a sort of directed seminorm. In the fundamental weighted category of a generalised metric space, introduced here, each homotopy…

Graph Representations and Topology of Real and Angle Valued Maps

In this paper we review the definition of the invariants "bar codes" and "Jordan cells" of real and angle valued tame maps as proposed in Burghelea and Dey and Carlsson et al and prove the homotopy invariance of the sum # B^c_r +#B^o_{r-1}$ and of the Jordan cells. Here B^c_r resp. B^o_r denote the sets of closed resp. open bar codes in dimension r and # denotes cardinality. In addition we provide calculation of some familiar topological invariants in terms of bar codes and Jordan cells. The presentation provides a different perspective on Morse-Novikov theory based on critical values, bar cod…

Topology of angle valued maps, bar codes and Jordan blocks

In this paper one presents a collection of results about the "bar codes" and "Jordan blocks" introduced by Burghelea-Day as "computer friendly" invariants of a tame angle-valued map and one relates these invariants to the Betti numbers, Novikov Betti numbers and the monodromy of the underlying space and map. Among others, one organizes the bar codes as two configurations of points in C\0 and one establishes their main properties: stability property and when the underlying space is a closed topological manifold, Poincaré duality property. One also provides an alternative "computer friendly" def…

Topology Of Real And Angle Valued Maps And Graph Representations (A Brief Survey)

(lecture delivered at the Congress of the Romanian mathematicians, Brasov, June 2011) Using graph representations a new class of computable topological invariants associated with a tame real or angle valued map were recently introduced, providing a theory which can be viewed as an alternative to Morse-Novicov theory for real or angle valued Morse maps. The invariants are "barcodes" and "Jordan cells". From them one can derive all familiar topological invariants which can be derived via Morse-Novikov theory, like the Betti numbers and in the case of angle valued maps also the Novikov Betti numb…

On Geometry and Topology of 4-Orbifolds

We prove an analogue of the result of Hsiang and Kleiner for 4-dimensional compact orbifolds with positive curvature and an isometric circle action. Additionally, we prove that when the underlying space is simply connected, then the orbifold fundamental group provides a bound on the failure of integer-valued Poincare Duality of the underlying space, and if the orbifold is simply connected, then ineteger-valued Poincre Duality holds for the underlying space.
