Transfinitely iterated wild sets
Jeremy Brazas, Atish Mitra
In this paper, we study homotopical analogues of the Cantor-Bendixson derivative. For each , the "-wild set" of a topological space is the subs…
On R-trees, homotopies, and covering maps
Jeremy Brazas, Gregory R. Conner, Paul Fabel +1
A map has the \emph{unique path lifting} property if every path in , after a choice of an initial point, lifts uniquely to a path in . We prove that if a group …
Tree-like is not a transitive relation on paths
Jeremy Brazas, Gregory R. Conner, Paul Fabel +1
The notions of tree-like loop and Lipschitz tree-like loop were introduced by Hambly and Lyons in their 2010 Annals of Mathematics paper. They showed that the Lipschitz tree-like p…
Motion Planning on One-Dimensional Peano Continua
Jeremy Brazas, Petar Pavesic
We study the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and topological complexity of 1-dimensional spaces. We define both invariants as lengths of suitable closed filtrations, as opposed to…
The Äech homotopy groups of a shrinking wedge of spheres
Jeremy Brazas
We compute the Äech homotopy groups of the -dimensional infinite earring space , i.e. a shrinking wedge of -spheres. In particular, for all , we pro…
Nonlocal loss of first homotopy in polyhedral approximations of Peano continua
Jeremy Brazas, Hanspeter Fischer
If a Peano continuum is semilocally simply connected, then it has a finite polyhedral approximation whose fundamental group is isomorphic to that of . In general, this fails…
