In this paper, topological properties of Wijsman hyperspaces are investigated. We study the existence of isolated points in Wijsman hyperspaces. We show that every Tychonoff space can be embedded as a closed subspace in the Wijsman…
This note presents a procedure of constructing a higher dimensional sphere map from a lower dimensional one and gives an explicit formula for smooth sphere map with a given degree. As an application a new proof of a generalized…
This paper focuses on the investigation of volumes of large Coxeter hyperbolic polyhedron. First, the paper investigates the smallest possible volume for a large Coxeter hyperbolic polyhedron and then looks at the volume of pyramids with…
Computing unlinking number is usually very difficult and complex problem, therefore we define BJ-unlinking number and recall Bernhard-Jablan conjecture stating that the classical unknotting/unlinking number is equal to the BJ-unlinking…
We generalise a fundamental graph-theoretical fact, stating that every element of the cycle space of a graph is a sum of edge-disjoint cycles, to arbitrary continua. To achieve this we replace graph cycles by topological circles, and…
The goal of invariant theory is to find all the generators for the algebra of representations of a group that leave the group invariant. Such generators will be called \emph{basic invariants}. In particular, we set out to find the set of…
Extending and unifying concepts extensively used in the literature, we introduce the notion of approximable interpolation sets for algebras of functions on locally compact groups, especially for weakly almost periodic functions and for…
We give a selection of major open problems involving selective properties, diagonalizations, and covering properties for sets of real numbers. This is a revision of the version published as a chapter in the book \textbf{Open Problems in…
All product fixed point results in ordered metric spaces based on linear contractive conditions are but a vectorial form of the fixed point statement due to Nieto and Rodriguez-Lopez [Order, 22 (2005), 223-239], under the lines in Matkowski…
It is well known that every locally compact abelian group L can be decomposed as L_1 \oplus R^n, where L_1 contains a compact-open subgroup. In this paper, we use this decomposition to study the topological group Aut(L) of automorphisms of…
Given a non-degenerate Peano continuum $X$, a dimension function $D:2^X_*\to[0,\infty]$ defined on the family $2^X_*$ of compact subsets of $X$, and a subset $\Gamma\subset[0,\infty)$, we recognize the topological structure of the system…
A topological space is nonseparably connected if it is connected but all of its connected separable subspaces are singletons. We show that each connected sequential topological space X is the image of a nonseparably connected complete…
We study algebraic and topological properties of topological semigroups containing a copy of the bicyclic semigroup C(p,q). We prove that each topological semigroup S with pseudocompact square contains no dense copy of C(p,q). On the other…
We prove that the semigroup operation of a topological semigroup $S$ extends to a continuous semigroup operation on its the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\beta S$ provided $S$ is a pseudocompact openly factorizable space, which means…
We detect topological semigroups that are topological paragroups, i.e., are isomorphic to a Rees product of a topological group over topological spaces with a continuous sandwich function. We prove that a simple topological semigroup $S$ is…
In this paper we introduce and study so-called $k^*$-metrizable spaces forming a new class of generalized metric spaces, and display various applications of such spaces in topological algebra, functional analysis, and measure theory. By…
We prove that the minimal left ideals of the superextension $\lambda(Z)$ of the discrete group $Z$ of integers are metrizable topological semigroups, topologically isomorphic to minimal left ideals of the superextension $\lambda(Z_2)$ of…
Given a countable group $X$ we study the algebraic structure of its superextension $\lambda(X)$. This is a right-topological semigroup consisting of all maximal linked systems on $X$ endowed with the operation $$\mathcal A\circ\mathcal…
Given a group $X$ we study the algebraic structure of its superextension $\lambda(X)$. This is a right-topological semigroup consisting of all maximal linked systems on $X$ endowed with the operation $$\mathcal A\circ\mathcal B=\{C\subset…
In this paper, we firstly discuss the question: Is $l_{2}^{\infty}$ homeomorphic to a rectifiable space or a paratopological group? And then, we mainly discuss locally compact rectifiable spaces, and show that a locally compact and…
