  • Descriptive set theory applied to loop homotopy and equivalence relations

    in

    What the study found The study finds that, from a descriptive set-theoretic viewpoint, the homotopy of loops in a fixed path-connected Polish space can produce many analytic equivalence relations, but not all of them. Why the authors say this matters The authors suggest this helps clarify which equivalence relations can be represented through loop homotopy…

  • Expository overview links systole, kissing number, and arithmetic manifolds

    in

    What the study found The article presents an expository introduction to arithmetic groups and arithmetic manifolds. It uses two geometric questions about the growth of systole and kissing number in hyperbolic manifolds as a motivating guide, and it says these questions have so far been answered with the help of arithmetic manifolds. Why the authors…
