Let $p$ be an odd prime and $F$ be a complete discretely valued field with residue field of characteristic $p$. For any parahoric level structure of the split even orthogonal similitude group $\operatorname{GO}_{2n}$ over $F$, we prove a…

We present a simple-to-apply criterion for recognizing topological groups that are (locally) homeomorphic to LF-spaces.

In a graph, we say that two nodes are topologically equivalent if their sets of first neighbors, excluding the two nodes, coincide. We prove that nonlinearly coupled heterogeneous oscillators located on a group of topologically equivalent…

An ultrafilter $p$ on $\omega$ is said to be discrete if, given any function $f\colon \omega \to X$ to any completely regular Hausdorff space, there is an $A \in p$ such that $f(A)$ is discrete. Basic properties of discrete ultrafilters are…

A semigroup $T$ is called Taimanov if $T$ contains two distinct elements $0,\infty$ such that $xy=\infty$ for any distinct points $x,y\in T\setminus\{0,\infty\}$ and $xy=0$ in all other cases. We prove that any Taimanov semigroup $T$ has…

The unitary group $\mathrm U(\mathcal H)$ on an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ in its strong topology is a topological group and has some further nice properties, e.g. it is metrizable and contractible if $\mathcal…

We consider the moduli space of flat G-bundles over the twodimensional torus, where G is a real, compact, simple Lie group which is not simply connected. We show that the connected components that describe topologically non-trivial bundles…

A topological space is nonseparably connected if it is connected but all of its connected separable subspaces are singletons. We show that each connected first countable space is the image of a nonseparably connected complete metric space…

A topological space is called {\it dense-separable} if each dense subset of its is separable. Therefore, each dense-separable space is separable. We establish some basic properties of dense-separable topological groups. We prove that each…

In this paper we work in an arbitrary o-minimal structure with definable Skolem functions and we prove that definably connected, locally definable manifolds are uniformly definably path connected, have an admissible cover by definably…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and $G/B$ denote the flag variety of $G$. A $G$-homogeneous space $G/H$ is said to be {\it spherical} if $H$ acts on $G/B$ with finitely many orbits. A class of spherical homogeneous…

We provide characterizations of Lie groups as compact-like groups in which all closed zero-dimensional metric (compact) subgroups are discrete. The "compact-like" properties we consider include (local) compactness, (local)…

This article records basic topological, as well as homological properties of the space of homomorphisms Hom(L,G) where L is a finitely generated discrete group, and G is a Lie group, possibly non-compact. If L is a free abelian group of…

The Cremona group is topologically simple when endowed with the Zariski or Euclidean topology, in any dimension $\ge 2$ and over any infinite field. Two elements are moreover always connected by an affine line, so the group is…

In order to make the fundamental group, one of the most well known invariants in algebraic topology, more useful and powerful some researchers have introduced and studied various topologies on the fundamental group from the beginning of the…

In algebraic topology, the fundamental groupoid is a classical homotopy invariant which is defined using continuous maps from the closed interval to a topological space. In this paper, we construct a semi-coarse version of this invariant,…

In this paper, by introducing some kind of small loop transfer spaces at a point, we study the behavior of topologized fundamental groups with the compact-open topology and the whisker topology, $\pi_{1}^{qtop}(X,x_{0})$ and…

Free groups are known to be homogeneous, meaning that finite tuples of elements which satisfy the same first-order properties are in the same orbit under the action of the automorphism group. We show that virtually free groups have a…

Let $p:X\rightarrow X/A$ be a quotient map, where $A$ is a subspace of $X$. We explore conditions under which $p_*(\pi_1^{qtop}(X,x_0))$ is dense in $\pi_1^{qtop}(X/A,*))$, where the fundamental groups enjoy the natural quotient topology…

The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups $G$, and to describe their connections to classical representation…
