Strong homotopy types, nerves and collapses
Jonathan Ariel Barmak, Elias Gabriel Minian
We introduce the theory of strong homotopy types of simplicial complexes. Similarly to classical simple homotopy theory, the strong homotopy types can be described by elementary mo…

Simple Homotopy Types and Finite Spaces
Jonathan Ariel Barmak, Elias Gabriel Minian
We present a new approach to simple homotopy theory of polyhedra using finite topological spaces. We define the concept of collapse of a finite space and prove that this new notion…

Minimal Finite Models
Jonathan Ariel Barmak, Elias Gabriel Minian
We characterize the smallest finite spaces with the same homotopy groups of the spheres. Similarly, we describe the minimal finite models of any finite graph. We also develop new c…
