Given a positive integer $k$, we investigate the $k$-redcibility of self-maps in the monoid $\AA^k(X\vee Y)$, consisting of self-maps that induce isomorphisms on homology groups up to degree $k$. In general, verifying $k$-reducibility is a…

A selfmap is Wecken when the minimal number of fixed points among all maps in its homotopy class is equal to the Nielsen number, a homotopy invariant lower bound on the number of fixed points. All selfmaps are Wecken for manifolds of…

In the classical best approximation pair (BAP) problem, one is given two nonempty, closed, convex and disjoint subsets in a finite- or an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, and the goal is to find a pair of points, each from each subset,…

We investigate the geometry of the family $\cal M$ of isometry classes of compact metric spaces, endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff metric. We show that sufficiently small neighborhoods of generic finite spaces in the subspace of all finite…

We give a brief account on a basic result (Lemma \ref{lem2}) which is a very useful tool in proving various convergence theorems in the framework of the iterative approximation of fixed points of demicontractive mappings in Hilbert spaces.…

A labeled metric space is intuitively speaking a metric space together with a special set of points to be understood as the geometric boundary of the space. We study basic properties of a recently introduced labeled Gromov-Hausdorff…

We define a strengthening of the Haagerup-Kraus approximation property by means of the subalgebras of Herz-Schur multipliers $M_d(G)$ ($d\geq 2$) introduced by Pisier. We show that unitarisable groups satisfying this property for all $d\geq…

We introduce and study a new family of extensions for the Borsuk-Ulam and topological Radon type theorems. The defining idea for this new family is to replace requirements of the form `a subset that is large in some sense goes to a…

We extend the recent result of G. Godefroy which concerns the existence of non-norm attaining Lipschitz maps in order to characterize the norm attainment toward vectors for Lipschitz maps in the general setting of underlying space. The main…

The Hilbert-Smith conjecture states, for any connected topological manifold $M$, any locally compact subgroup of $\mathrm{Homeo}(M)$ is a Lie group. We generalize basic results of Segal-Kosniowski-tomDieck (2.6), James-Segal (2.12), G…

Hurewicz' characterized the dimension of separable metrizable spaces by means of finite-to-one maps. We investigate whether this characterization also holds in the class of compact F-spaces of weight c. Our main result is that, assuming the…

For a given pair of maps f,g:X->M from an arbitrary topological space to an n-manifold, the Lefschetz homomorphism is a certain graded homomorphism L:H(X)->H(M) of degree (-n). We prove a Lefschetz-type coincidence theorem: if the Lefschetz…

Let $M^n\ (n\geq3)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold with $\sec_M\geq 1$, and let $M_i^{n_i}$ ($i=1,2$) be two comlplete totally geodesic submanifolds in $M$. We prove that if $n_1+n_2=n-2$ and if the distance $|M_1M_2|\geq\frac{\pi}{2}$,…

Let Gamma be a discrete group satisfying the rapid decay property with respect to a length function which is conditionally negative. Then the reduced C*-algebra of Gamma has the metric approximation property. The central point of our proof…

In a general-relativistic spacetime (Lorentzian manifold), gravitational lensing can be characterized by a lens map, in analogy to the lens map of the quasi-Newtonian approximation formalism. The lens map is defined on the celestial sphere…

We consider the inclusion of the space of algebraic (regular) maps between real algebraic varieties in the space of all continuous maps. For a certain class of real algebraic varieties, which include real projective spaces, it is well known…

Let $X, Y$ be separable metrizable spaces, where $X$ is noncompact and $Y$ is equipped with an admissible complete metric $d$. We show that the space $C(X,Y)$ of continuous maps from $X$ into $Y$ equipped with the uniform topology is…

Let X, Y be nonsingular real algebraic sets. A map fi:X-->Y is said to be k-regulous, where k is a nonnegative integer, if it is of class C^k and the restriction of fi to some Zariski open dense subset of X is a regular map. Assuming that Y…

Via multilinear algebra, we formulate a criterion for connectedness in the parametric geometry of numbers in terms of pencils, which are certain algebraic varieties in the space of matrices. As a consequence, we obtain a connectedness…

We study three different topologies on the moduli space $\mathscr{H}^{\rm loc}_m$ of equivariant isometry classes of $m$-dimensional locally homogeneous Riemannian spaces. As an application, we provide the first examples of locally…
