We endow the diffeomorphism group of a paracompact (reduced) orbifold with the structure of an infinite dimensional Lie group modelled on the space of compactly supported sections of the tangent orbibundle. For a second countable orbifold,…

According to a folklore characterization of supercompact spaces, a compact Hausdorff space is supercompact if and only if it has a binary closed $k$-network. This characterization suggests to call a topological space $super$ if it has a…

It follows from a theorem of Rosenthal that a compact space is $ccc$ if and only if every Eberlein continuous image is metrizable. Motivated by this result, for a class of compact spaces $\mathcal{C}$ we define its orthogonal…

We give a construction under $CH$ of a non-metrizable compact Hausdorff space $K$ such that any uncountable semi-biorthogonal sequence in $C(K)$ must be of a very specific kind. The space $K$ has many nice properties, such as being…

We establish the existence of complete K\"ahler metrics of semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature with many zeroes in an interesting and natural geometric setting. Specifically, we use Calabi's Ansatz in the form due to Koiso-Sakane…

We discuss some notions of compactness and convergence relative to a specified family F of subsets of some topological space X. The two most interesting particular cases of our construction appear to be the following ones. (1) The case in…

In this paper we construct a compactification for the parameter space of convex projective structures on a fixed n-manifold M. This parameter space is a closed semi-algebraic subset of the variety of characters of representations of the…

Given a positive definite kernel in a locally compact space, we study a minimal energy problem in the presence of an external field over the class of all nonnegative Radon measures that are supported by a given closed noncompact set,…

For metrizable spaces we replace the notion of almost periodic homeomorphism with a similar notion and verify that the usual characterizations of almost periodic homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces are valid for all metrizable spaces.

Inspired by a recent work of Dias and Tall, we show that a compact indestructible space is sequentially compact. We also prove that a Lindelof Hausdorff indestructible space has the finite derived set property and a compact Hausdorff…

The aim of this paper is to study the topological properties of some classes of subsemimodules endowed with a subbasis closed-set topology. We show that such spaces are $T_0$. When the semimodule is finitely generated, those spaces are…

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…

A characterization is presented of barycenters of the Radon probability measures supported on a closed convex subset of a given space. A case of particular interest is studied, where the underlying space is itself the space of finite signed…

Let X be a smooth projective Berkovich space over a complete discrete valuation field K of residue characteristic zero, endowed with an ample line bundle L. We introduce a general notion of (possibly singular) semipositive (or…

This is a survey of the recent results and unsolved problems about locally compact homogeneous metric spaces. Mostly, homogeneous finite-dimensional $ANR$-spaces are discussed.

We prove that many completeness properties coincide in metric spaces, precompact groups and dense subgroups of products of separable metric groups. We apply these results to function spaces C_p(X,G) of G-valued continuous functions on a…

Let $E$ be a Banach space such that $E'$ has the Radon-Nikod\'ym property. The aim of this work is to connect relative weak compactness in the $E$-valued martingale Hardy space $H^{1}(\mu,E)$ to a convex compactness criterion in a weaker…

It is consistent with MA plus not CH that there is a locally connected hereditarily Lindelof compact space which is not metrizable.

For orthogonal polynomials defined by compact Jacobi matrix with exponential decay of the coefficients, precise properties of orthogonality measure is determined. This allows showing uniform boundedness of partial sums of orthogonal…

In this paper we introduce and study so-called $k^*$-metrizable spaces forming a new class of generalized metric spaces, and display various applications of such spaces in topological algebra, functional analysis, and measure theory. By…
