My fourteenth Math Research Livestream is now available on YouTube:

I talked about some topics related to my recent preprint (https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.12923) about topological lattices.

I decided to skip streaming today because I wanted to talk about polyhedral products, but I haven't found the old calculation that I wanted to talk about yet. Shocking I couldn't find something I did like six years ago in the ten minutes before I would start streaming. I'll look for it now, so hopefully I'll be ready next week.

I'll be streaming again in 20 minutes at twitch.tv/charlotteaten. I'll be talking about my recent preprint (https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.12923) about topological lattices!

I posted a new paper on the arXiv!

https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.12923

In "Higher-dimensional book-spaces" I show that for each \(n\) there exists an \(n\)-dimensional compact simplicial complex which is a topological modular lattice but cannot be endowed with the structure of topological distributive lattice. This extends a result of Walter Taylor, who did the \(2\)-dimensional case.

I think this kind of result is interesting because we can see that whether spaces continuously model certain equations is a true topological invariant. All of the spaces that I discuss here are contractible, but only some can have a distributive lattice structure.

A similar phenomenon happens with H-spaces. The \(7\)-sphere is an H-space, and it is even a topological Moufang loop, but it cannot be made into a topological group, even though our homotopical tools tell us that it "looks like a topological group".

This is (a cleaned up version of) something I did during my second year of graduate school. It only took me about six years to post it.

I'll be streaming again in 15 minutes at https://www.twitch.tv/charlotteaten. I'm gonna keep talking about topological lattices, since I've realized some new things since last week.

My twelfth Math Research Livestream is now available on YouTube:

This time, I talked about this paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.00034) by George Bergman. I have something related which I've finally decided to post to the arXiv, so hopefully I'll be ready to talk about that preprint next week.

I'll be streaming again in 20 minutes at https://www.twitch.tv/charlotteaten. This week I'm going to switch gears and talk about this paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.00034) of George Bergman. I have something related which I've finally decided to post to the arXiv, so hopefully this will prepare me to talk about that new preprint next week.
