Let G be a compact real Lie group, and let f be an irreducible complex character of G, of degree > 1. We show that there exists an element g of G, of finite order, such that f(g)=0. We also give an unpublished result of Deligne, about…

We prove that the existence of a positively defined, invariant Einstein metric $m$ on a connected homogeneous space $G/H$ of a compact Lie group $G$ is the consequence of non-contractibility of some compact set $C=X_{G,H}^{\Sigma}$ (B\"ohm…

We prove that every Peano continuum (a space that is a continuous image of $[0,1]$) admits a topologically mixing but not exact map. The constructed map has a dense set of periodic points.

We show there is no categorical metric continuum. This means that for every metric continuum X there is another metric continuum Y such that X and Y have (countable) elementarily equivalent bases but X and Y are not homeomorphic. As an…

We prove some statements of left- and right-continuous variants of generalized inverses of non-decreasing real functions.

We prove that several results of lineability/spaceability in the framework of sequence spaces are valid in a stricter sense.

We prove that any complete metric space has a unique decomposition as a direct product of a possibly finite or zero-dimensional Hilbert space and a space that does not split off lines.

We continue our study of ends non-compact manifolds. The over-arching aim is to provide an appropriate generalization of Siebenmann's famous collaring theorem that applies to manifolds having non-stable fundamental group systems at…

We answer a question of Piotr Minc by proving that there is no compact metrizable space whose set of components contains a unique topological copy of every metrizable compactification of a ray (i.e. a half-open interval) with an arc (i.e.…

We construct a concrete model for the measured wall of finite dinensional hyperbolic space, and construct the measure on it, so that the hyperbolic distance between two points equals to the measure of walls seperating them, up to a constant…

The stability of the recently discovered compacton solutions is studied by means of both linear stability analysis as well as Lyapunov stability criteria. From the results obtained it follows that, unlike solitons, all the allowed compacton…

This article critically reappraises arguments in support of Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers. The following results are reported: i) Cantor's proofs of nondenumerability are refuted by analyzing the logical inconsistencies in…

We study a model situation in which direct limit ($\text{colim}$) and inverse limit ($\lim$) do not commute, and offer some computations of their "commutator". The homology of a separable metrizable space $X$ has two well-known…

We prove that any ordered field can be extended to one for which every decreasing sequence of bounded closed intervals, of any length, has a nonempty intersection; equivalently, there are no Dedekind cuts with equal cofinality from both…

We prove that the automorphism group of a topological parallelism on real projective 3-space is compact. In a preceding article it was proved that at least the connected component of the identity is compact. The present proof does not…

Let $k$ be a field. We describe necessary and sufficient conditions for a $k$-linear abelian category to be a noncommutative projective line, i.e. a noncommutative $\mathbb{P}^{1}$-bundle over a pair of division rings over $k$. As an…

Let $A$ be a (not necessarily unital) separable non-elementary simple amenable C*-algebra whose tracial basis may not have finite covering dimension and may not be compact but satisfies certain condition (C). We show that $A$ is ${\cal…

Let $M$ and $N$ be two compact complex manifolds. We show that if the tautological line bundle $\mathscr{O}_{T_M^*}(1)$ is not pseudo-effective and $\mathscr{O}_{T_N^*}(1)$ is nef, then there is no non-constant holomorphic map from $M$ to…

We show that the closed convex hull of any one-dimensional semi-algebraic subset of R^n has a semidefinite representation, meaning that it can be written as a linear projection of the solution set of some linear matrix inequality. This is…

We introduce and analyze a new cardinal characteristic of the continuum, the \emph{splitting number of the reals}, denoted $\mathfrak{s}(\mathbb R)$. This number is connected to Efimov's problem, which asks whether every infinite compact…
