This chapter examines the simplifications occurring in the proof of the main theorem in the smooth case. It begins by stating the theorem about the existence of an F-definable homotopy h : I × unit vector X → unit vector X and the properties for h. It then presents the proof, which depends on two lemmas. The first recaps the proof of Theorem 11.1.1, but on a Zariski dense open set V₀ only. The second uses smoothness to enable a stronger form of inflation, serving to move into V₀. The chapter also considers the birational character of the definable homotopy type in Remark 12.2.4 concerning a birational invariant.

The Mathematical Model

Abstract Identifiability guarantees that the mathematical model of a dynamic system is well defined in the sense that it maps unambiguously its parameters to the output trajectories. This paper casts identifiability in a set-membership (SM) framework and relates recently introduced properties, namely, SM-identifiability, μ-SM-identifiability, and ε-SM-identifiability, to the properties of parameter estimation problems. Soundness and ε-consistency are proposed to characterize these problems and the solution returned by the algorithm used to solve them. This paper also contributes by carefully motivating and comparing SM-identifiability, μ-SM-identifiability and ε-SM-identifiability with related properties found in the literature, and by providing a method based on differential algebra to check these properties.

Constructive Set Theory

Abstract We introduce a family of (k, h)-interpretations for 2 ≤ k ≤ ∞ and 1 ≤ h ≤ ∞ of constructive set theory into type theory, in which sets and formulas are interpreted as types of homotopy level k and h, respectively. Depending on the values of the parameters k and h, we are able to interpret different theories, like Aczel’s CZF and Myhill’s CST. We also define a proposition-as-hproposition interpretation in the context of logic-enriched type theories. The rest of the paper is devoted to characterising and analysing the interpretations considered. The formulas valid in the prop-as-hprop interpretation are characterised in terms of the axiom of unique choice. We also analyse the interpretations of CST into homotopy type theory, providing a comparative analysis with Aczel’s interpretation. This is done by formulating in a logic-enriched type theory the key principles used in the proofs of the two interpretations. Finally, we characterise a class of sentences valid in the (k, ∞)-interpretations in terms of the ΠΣ axiom of choice.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the homotopy type of the partially ordered set of left cosets of abelian subgroups in an extraspecial p-group. We prove that the universal cover of its nerve is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of r-spheres where {2r\geq 4} is the rank of its Frattini quotient. This determines the homotopy type of the universal cover of the classifying space of transitionally commutative bundles as introduced in [2].

General Method

AbstractWe give a general method that may be effectively applied to the question of whether two components of a function space map(X, Y) have the same homotopy type. We describe certain group-like actions on map(X, Y). Our basic results assert that if maps f, g: X → Y are in the same orbit under such an action, then the components of map(X, Y) that contain f and g have the same homotopy type.
