The main result of this note is a parametrized version of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem. We show that for a continuous family of Borsuk-Ulam situations, parameterized by points of a compact manifold W, its solution set also depends continuously on the parameter space W. Continuity here means that the solution set supports a homology class which maps onto the fundamental class of W. When W is a subset of Euclidean space, we also show how to construct such a continuous family starting from a family depending in the same way continuously on the points of the boundary of W. This solves a problem related to a conjecture which is relevant for the construction of equilibrium strategies in repeated two-player games with incomplete information. A new method (of independent interest) used in this context is a canonical symmetric squaring construction in Cech homology with coefficients in Z/2Z.

We give a different and possibly more accessible proof of a general Borsuk--Ulam theorem for a product of spheres, originally due to Ramos. That is, we show the non-existence of certain $(mathbb{Z}/2)^k$-equivariant maps from a product of $k$ spheres to the unit sphere in a real $(mathbb{Z}/2)^k$-representation of the same dimension. Our proof method allows us to derive Borsuk--Ulam theorems for certain equivariant maps from Stiefel manifolds, from the corresponding results about products of spheres, leading to alternative proofs and extensions of some results of Fadell and Husseini.
We give a new formula for $p$-typical real topological cyclic homology that refines the fiber sequence formula discovered by Nikolaus and Scholze for $p$-typical topological cyclic homology to one involving genuine $C_2$-spectra. To accomplish this, we give a new definition of the $infty$-category of real $p$-cyclotomic spectra that replaces the usage of genuinely equivariant dihedral spectra with the parametrized Tate construction $(-)^{t_{C_2} mu_p}$ associated to the dihedral group $D_{2p} = mu_p rtimes C_2$. We then define a $p$-typical and $infty$-categorical version of H{o}genhavens $O(2)$-orthogonal cyclotomic spectra, construct a forgetful functor relating the two theories, and show that this functor restricts to an equivalence between full subcategories of appropriately bounded below objects.
Thickenings of a metric space capture local geometric properties of the space. Here we exhibit applications of lower bounding the topology of thickenings of the circle and more generally the sphere. We explain interconnections with the geometry of circle actions on Euclidean space, the structure of zeros of trigonometric polynomials, and theorems of Borsuk-Ulam type. We use the combinatorial and geometric structure of the convex hull of orbits of circle actions on Euclidean space to give geometric proofs of the homotopy type of metric thickenings of the circle. Homotopical connectivity bounds of thickenings of the sphere allow us to prove that a weighted average of function values of odd maps $S^n to mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ on a small diameter set is zero. We prove an additional generalization of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem for odd maps $S^{2n-1} to mathbb{R}^{2kn+2n-1}$. We prove such results for odd maps from the circle to any Euclidean space with optimal quantitative bounds. This in turn implies that any raked homogeneous trigonometric polynomial has a zero on a subset of the circle of a specific diameter; these results are optimal.
In this note we prove the analogue of the Atiyah-Segal completion theorem for equivariant twisted K-theory in the setting of an arbitrary compact Lie group G and an arbitrary twisting of the usually considered type. The theorem generalizes a result by C. Dwyer, who has proven the theorem for finite G and twistings of a more restricted type. Whi
We give an alternative treatment of the foundations of parametrized spectra, with an eye toward applications in fixed-point theory. We cover most of the central results from the book of May and Sigurdsson, sometimes with weaker hypotheses, and give a new construction of the bicategory $mathcal Ex$ of parametrized spectra. We also give a careful account of coherence results at the level of homotopy categories. The potential audience for this work may extend outside the boundaries of modern homotopy theory, so our treatment is structured to use as little technology as possible. In particular, many of the results are stated without using model categories. We also illustrate some applications to fixed-point theory.
