Homotopy Type of Intersections of Real Bruhat Cells in Dimension 6

Emília Alves, Giovanna Leal

We study the homotopy type of the intersection of two real Bruhat cells. This homotopy type coincides with that of an explicit submanifold of the group of real lower triangular mat…

Homotopy type of spaces of locally convex curves in the sphere S^3

Emília Alves, Victor Goulart, Nicolau C. Saldanha

Locally convex (or nondegenerate) curves in the sphere have been studied for several reasons, including the study of linear ordinary differential equations of order . Ta…

Remarks on the homotopy type of intersections of two real Bruhat cells

Emília Alves, Nicolau Saldanha

In a companion manuscript, we introduce a stratification of intersections of a top dimensional real Bruhat cells with another arbitrary cell. This intersection is naturally identif…

On the homotopy type of intersections of two real Bruhat cells

Emília Alves, Nicolau C. Saldanha

Real Bruhat cells give an important and well studied stratification of such spaces as , , and . We study the intersections…

Characterization of some convex curves on the 3-sphere

Emília Alves

In this paper we provide a characterization for a class of convex curves on the 3-sphere. More precisely, using a theorem that decomposes a locally convex curve on the 3-sphere as…

Results on the homotopy type of the spaces of locally convex curves on

Emília Alves, Nicolau C. Saldanha

A curve of class () is locally convex if the vectors are a positive orthonormal basis to $R…

Topology of the space of locally convex curves on the 3-sphere

Emília Alves

A (positive) locally convex curve in the 2-sphere is a curve with positive geodesic curvature (i.e., which always turns left). In the 3-sphere, it is a curve with positive torsion.…
