Let $p$ and $q$ be anisotropic quasilinear quadratic forms over a field $F$ of characteristic $2$, and let $i$ be the isotropy index of $q$ after scalar extension to the function field of the affine quadric with equation $p=0$. In this…

Some results of B. Pasynkov and H. Torunczyk on finite-dimensional maps are improved. A generalization of a Dranishnikov-Uspenskij theorem about extensional dimension is also obtained.

We present some results related to theorems of Pasynkov and Torunczyk on the geometry of maps of finite dimensional compacta.

In this paper we prove the equivalence of the questions of B.A. Pasynkov and V.V. Uspenskij. We also get some partial results answering these questions in affirmative. As a corollary to these results we get an extention of the Hurewicz…

The essential dimension is a numerical invariant of an algebraic group G which may be thought of as a measure of complexity of G-torsors over fields. A recent theorem of N. Karpenko and A. Merkurjev gives a simple formula for the essential…

We study the extraordinary dimension function dim_{L} introduced by \v{S}\v{c}epin. An axiomatic characterization of this dimension function is obtained. We also introduce inductive dimensions ind_{L} and Ind_{L} and prove that for…

We investigate essential dimension of finite groups over arbitrary fields and give a systematic treatment of multihomogenization, introduced by H.Kraft, G.Schwarz and the author. We generalize the central extension theorem of Buhler and…

We prove some anologues for algebras of recent group-theoretic results (due to Khukhro, Klyachko, Makarenko, Milentyeva, and Shumyatsky) on large characteristic subgroups satisfying a given property.

We establish cohomological and extension dimension versions of the Hurewicz dimension-raising theorem

Recently, I. Kossovskiy and R. Shafikov have settled the so-called Dimension Conjecture, which characterizes spherical hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb C}^2$ via the dimension of the algebra of infinitesimal automorphisms. In this note, we…

We prove Marchenko-type uniqueness theorems for inverse Sturm-Liouville problems. Moreover, we prove a generalization of Ambarzumyans theorem.

We study the essential dimension of a finite group G over a field K. A generalization of the central extension theorem of Buhler and Reichstein (Compositio Math. 106 (1997) 159-179, Theorem 5.3) is obtained. We also get lower bounds of…

The diametral dimension is an important topological invariant in the category of Frechet spaces which has been used, e.g., to distinguish types of Stein manifolds. We introduce variants of the classical definition in order to solve an old…

We prove an extension of the well-known combinatorial-topological lemma of E. Sperner to the case of infinite-dimensional cubes. It is obtained as a corollary to an infinitary extension of the Lebesgue Covering Dimension Theorem.

In this paper we deduce the Lebesgue and the Knaster--Kuratowski--Mazurkiewicz theorems on the covering dimension, as well as their certain generalizations, from some simple facts of toric geometry. This provides a new point of view on this…

We give a new proof of a theorem of Montejano and Karasev regarding $k$-dimensional transversals to small families of convex sets. While their proof uses technical algebraic and topological tools, our proof is a simple application of the…

We review some aspects of theories with compact extra dimensions. We consider the motivation and the theoretical basis of Large, Universal and Warped Extra Dimensions. We focus on those aspects that are potentially relevant in the…

This note investigates two long-standing conjectures on the Krull dimension of integer-valued polynomial rings and of polynomial rings, respectively, in the context of (locally) essential domains.

We use a recent advance in birational geometry to prove new lower bounds on the essential dimension of some finite groups.

In this paper we develop the theory of essential dimension of group schemes over an integral base. Shortly we concentrate over a local base. As a consequence of our theory we give a result of invariance of the essential dimension over a…
