A distance between maps via interleavings of relative Sullivan algebras

Abstract

In this article, we consider extended tame persistence commutative differential graded algebras (CDGAs) associated with relative Sullivan algebras. In particular, if the relative Sullivan algebra is a model for a map between spaces, then the persistence CDGA is isomorphic to the persistence object obtained by a Postnikov tower for the map with the polynomial de Rham functor in the homotopy category of extended tame persistence CDGAs. Moreover, the interleaving distance in the homotopy category (IHC) in the sense of Lanari and Scoccola enables us to introduce a pseudodistance on the homotopy set of maps via the persistence CDGA models for maps. In contrast to persistence cochain complexes, the IHC of persistence CDGAs does not coincide with the cohomology interleaving distance in general. Due to the reason, we also discuss formalities of a persistence CDGA with interleavings. Computational examples of the pseudodistances between maps are showcased.

Homogeneous Milnor fibers and Kato--Matsumoto bounds via simplicial multiwedges

For every $n\geq 3$ and $s\geq 2$, we construct a homogeneous polynomial of degree $n(n+1)/2$ whose Milnor fiber is exactly $2s$-connected and whose rational cohomology contains a strictly defined nontrivial $n$-fold Massey product on classes of degree $2s+1$, implying that the Milnor fiber is non-formal, while attaining the Kato--Matsumoto connectivity bound. Our construction is based on the simplicial multiwedges of the nerve complexes of simple polytopes introduced by Limonchenko, combined with Suciu's realization of weighted homogeneous Milnor fibers. We thereby answer two problems posed by Suciu.

The homotopy types of directed path and trace spaces

We construct a saturated directed space with a Hausdorff $\Delta$-generated underlying space and two distinct points such that the trace space between them is homeomorphic to a square, whereas the directed path space has a nontrivial fundamental group. In particular, the canonical quotient map is not a weak homotopy equivalence. The same conclusion holds for regular directed paths modulo increasing homeomorphisms.

Moduli spaces of geometric functorial field theories

We develop tools to compute moduli spaces of geometric functorial field theories as mapping spaces of equivariant simplicial presheaves. Given a d-dimensional geometric structure F, presented as a presheaf on the site of smooth families of d-manifolds, we define its Cartesian realization, which is an O(d)-equivariant simplicial presheaf on the site of Cartesian spaces. We use Cartesian realizations to present the moduli space of functorial field theories with geometric structure F as a mapping space between O(d)-equivariant simplicial presheaves. In a companion paper, we use this result to compute the moduli space of smooth one-dimensional oriented Riemannian functorial field theories valued in an arbitrary smooth symmetric monoidal infinity-category.
