A generalized topology in a set $X$ is a collection $\text{Cov}_X$ of families of subsets of $X$ such that the triple $(X,\bigcup \text{Cov}_X,\text{Cov}_X)$ is a generalized topological space in the sense of Delfs and Knebusch. In this…

We define compactifications of vector spaces which are functorial with respect to certain linear maps. These "many-body" compactifications are manifolds with corners, and the linear maps lift to b-maps in the sense of Melrose. We derive a…

We study discrete fixed point sets of holomorphic self-maps of complex manifolds. The main attention is focused on the cardinality of this set and its configuration. As a consequence of one of our observations, a bounded domain in ${\Bbb…

We construct a compactification of the moduli space of twisted holomorphic maps with varying complex structure and bounded energy. For a given compact symplectic manifold $X$ with a compatible complex structure and a Hamiltonian action of…

Let F(X,n):= X^n-\Delta be the complementary of the union \Delta of the diagonals of X^n and let U be a quotient of F(X,n) (possibly trivial) by a subgroup of the symmetric group S_n. We construct compactifications of U in products of…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…

A space $X$ is M-separable (selectively separable) (Scheepers, 1999; Bella et al., 2009) if for every sequence $(Y_n)$ of dense subspaces of $X$ there exists a sequence $(F_n)$ such that for each $n$ $F_n$ is a finite subset of $Y_n$ and…

We introduce a smooth projective variety $T_{d,n}$ which compactifies the space of configurations of $n$ distinct points on affine $d$-space modulo translation and homothety. The points in the boundary correspond to $n$-pointed stable…

In this paper, we obtain some sufficient conditions for the D-completion of a T0 space to be the well-filterification of this space, the well-filterification of a T0 space to be the sobrification of this space and the D-completion of a T0…

We prove a homotopy invariance result for a certain covering space of the space of ordered configurations of two points in $M \times X$ where $M$ is a closed smooth manifold and $X$ is any fixed aspherical space which is not a point.

While compactness is an essential assumption for many results in dynamical systems theory, for many applications the state space is only locally compact. Here we provide a general theory for compactifying such systems, i.e. embedding them…

Shape(-and-scale) spaces - configuration spaces for generalized Kendall-type Shape(-and-Scale) Theories - are usually not manifolds but stratified manifolds. While in Kendall's own case - similarity shapes - the shape spaces are…

Configuration spaces of many real mechanical systems appear to be manifolds with singularity. A singularity often indicates that geometry of motion may change at the singular point of configuration space. We face conceptual problem…

These expository notes are dedicated to the study of the topology of configuration spaces of manifolds. We give detailed computations of many invariants, including the fundamental group of the configuration spaces of $\mathbb{R}^2$, the…

The paper discusses the conditions for the existence of fixed points of multivalued mappings that are not based on the linear structure of the set. The descriptions for the sets of fixed points for mappings with closed graph in compact…

We study holomorphic self-maps of non-ordered n-point configuration spaces C^n(X), where X is either affine or projective complex line. The complex Lie group Aut(X) acts diagonally on C^n(X). We prove that for n>4 every endomorphism F of…

The space of closed subgroups of a locally compact topological group is endowed with a natural topology, called the Chabauty topology. Let X be a symmetric space of noncompact type, and G be its group of isometries. The space X identifies…

A two-dimensional configuration is a coloring of the infinite grid Z^2 with finitely many colors. For a finite subset D of Z^2, the D-patterns of a configuration are the colored patterns of shape D that appear in the configuration. The…

The present paper mainly presents, for example, explicit classifications of compact smooth manifolds having non-empty boundaries and simple structures where the dimensions are general. Studies of this type is fundamental and important. They…

From a group action on a space, define a variant of the configuration space by insisting that no two points inhabit the same orbit. When the action is almost free, this "orbit configuration space" is the complement of an arrangement of…
