We first show that, for a fixed locally compact manifold $N,$ the space $L^2(S^1,N)$ has not the homotopy type odf the classical loop space $C^\infty(S^1,N),$ by two theorems: - the inclusion $C^\infty(S^1,N) \subset L^2(S^1,N)$ is null…

Let $G$ be a group of homeomorphisms of a topological space $X$. $G$ is $\textit{(properly) isometrizable}$ if there exists a $G$-invariant (proper) gauge structure on $X$. $G$ is $\textit{equiregular}$ if for every $x \in X$ and every open…

We prove the following result announced in Todorov and Valov: Any homogeneous, metric $ANR$-continuum is a $V^n_G$-continuum provided $\dim_GX=n\geq 1$ and $\check{H}^n(X;G)\neq 0$, where $G$ is a principal ideal domain. This implies that…

For a compact space X we consider extending endomorphisms of the algebra C(X) to be endomorphisms of Arens-Hoffman and Cole extensions of C(X). Given a non-linear, monic polynomial p in C(X)[t], with C(X)[t]/pC(X)[t] semi-simple, we show…

Let X be a compact (resp. compact and nonsingular) real algebraic variety and let Y be a homogeneous space for some linear real algebraic group. We prove that a continuous (resp. C^infinity) map f:X-->Y can be approximated by regular maps…

We study the questions of how to recognize when a simplicial set X is of the form X=map(Y,A) for a given space A, and how to recover Y from X, if so. A full answer is provided when A=K(R,n), for $R=\mathbb{F}_p$ or $\mathbb{Q}$, in terms of…

We consider locally symmetric manifolds with a fixed universal covering, and construct for each such manifold M a simplicial complex R whose size is proportional to the volume of M. When M is non-compact, R is homotopically equivalent to M,…

Let V, W be real algebraic varieties (that is, up to isomorphism, real algebraic sets), and let X be a subset of V. A map f from X into W is said to be regular if it can be extended to a regular map defined on some Zariski locally closed…

If E is a nonempty closed subset of the locally finite Hausdorff (2n-2)-measure on an n-dimensional complex manifold M and all points of E are nonremovable for a meromorphic mapping of M \ E into a compact K\"ahler manifold, then E is a…

We prove that if $T: X \to X$ is a selfmap of a set $X$ such that $\bigcap \{T^{n}X: n\in N}\}$ is a one-point set, then the set $X$ can be endowed with a compact Hausdorff topology so that $T$ is continuous.

If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of…

We introduce notions of {\it upper chernrank} and {\it even cup length} of a finite connected CW-complex and prove that {\it upper chernrank} is a homotopy invariant. It turns out that determination of {\it upper chernrank} of a space $X$…

Let X be a zero-dimensional compact space such that all non-empty clopen subsets of X are homeomorphic to each other, and let H(X) be the group of all self-homeomorphisms of X with the compact-open topology. We prove that the Roelcke…

Given a Lie group $G$ we study the class $\M$ of proper metrizable $G$-spaces with metrizable orbit spaces, and show that any $G$-space $X \in \M$ admits a closed $G$-embedding into a convex $G$-subset $C$ of some locally convex linear…

We prove that the homotopy type of a map from a Peano continuum into a planar or one-dimensional space is determined by the induced homomorphism of fundamental groups. This provides a new proof that planar sets are aspherical and is used to…

For a continuous self-map $T$ of a compact metrizable space with finite topological entropy, the order of accumulation of entropy of $T$ is a countable ordinal that arises in the theory of entropy structure and symbolic extensions. Given…

Let $X$ be a complex normed space. Based on the right norm derivative $\rho_{_{+}}$, we define a mapping $\rho_{_{\infty}}$ by \begin{equation*} \rho_{_{\infty}}(x,y) = \frac1\pi\int_0^{2\pi}e^{i\theta}\rho_{_{+}}(x,e^{i\theta}y)d\theta…

We show that both Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and topological complexity are particular cases of a more general notion, that we call homotopic distance between two maps. As a consequence, several properties of those invariants can be…

The full solenoid over a topological space $X$ is the inverse limit of all finite covers. When $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space admitting a locally path connected universal cover, we relate the pointed homotopy equivalences of the full…

This is the second of a series of papers which are devoted to a comprehensive theory of maps between orbifolds. In this paper, we develop a basic machinery for studying homotopy classes of such maps. It contains two parts: (1) the…
