Deformation theory and Lie algebra homology

TL;DR: In this paper, a ring of functions on the base of a universal formal deformation for several moduli problems is given in terms of a homology group of a certain dg Lie algebra canonically associated with a problem.

Topological Hochschild homology of Thom spectra and the free loop space

TL;DR: In this article, the topological Hochschild homology of ring spectra arising as Thom spectra for loop maps f: X->BF, where BF denotes the classifying space for stable spherical fibrations, was investigated.

What Is a Multi-modeling Language?

TL;DR: This work proposes semantically well-founded notions of a multi-modeling language and of semantic correctness for model transformations and provides a first formal basis for answering questions about semantic consistency of the models written in different subl languages to the correctness of model transformations between the sublanguages.

On structures preserved by idempotent transformations of groups and homotopy types

TL;DR: In this paper, the preservation of asphericity of spaces under localization at sets of primes is studied in the context of localizations of infra-nilmanifolds.
