We study groups endowed with Alexandroff topologies and show that no non-discrete Alexandroff topology can turn a group into a topological group. This settles negatively the basic existence problem for Alexandroff topological groups.…
Intersection homology with coefficients in a field restores Poincar\'e duality for some spaces with singularities, as pseudomanifolds. But, with coefficients in a ring, the behaviours of manifolds and pseudomanifolds are different. This…
This paper is a rigorous study of two dual pairs of momentum maps arising in the context of fluid equations whose configuration Lie group is the group of automorphism of a trivial principal bundle, generically called here non-abelian…
We introduce a contravariant idempotent adjunction between (i) the category of ranked monads on $\mathsf{Set}$; and (ii) the category of internal categories and internal retrofunctors in the category of locales. The left adjoint takes a…
We denote by C_p(X,G) the group of all continuous functions from a space X to a topological group G endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence. We say that spaces X and Y are G-equivalent provided that the topological groups…
We describe topological gauge theories for which duality properties are encoded by construction. We study them for compact manifolds of dimensions four, eight and two. The fields and their duals are treated symmetrically, within the context…
We study four adjoint situations in pointfree topology that interchange images and preimages with closure and interior operators and establish with them a number of characterisations for meet-preserving maps, localic maps, open maps (in a…
The group of continuous binary operations on a topological space is studied; its relationship with the group of homeomorphisms is established. The category of binary $G$-spaces and bi-equivariant maps is constructed, which is a natural…
We compare finiteness properties of locally compact groups that generalize the properties of being compactly generated and of being compactly presented. Three such families of properties have been proposed: Abels--Tiemeyer's type $C_n$,…
The group of homeomorphisms of the closed interval that are absolutely continuous and have an absolutely continuous inverse was shown by Solecki to admit a natural Polish group topology $\tau_{ac}$. We show that, under mild conditions on a…
By using the Hamilton-Jacobi [HJ] framework the topological theories associated with Euler and Pontryagin classes are analyzed. We report the construction of a fundamental $HJ$ differential where the characteristic equations and the…
This paper aims to study the dual of an extended locally convex space. In particular, we study the weak and weak* topologies as well as the topology of uniform convergence on bounded subsets of an extended locally convex space. As an…
In this paper we give two families of non-metrizable topologies on the group of the integers having a countable dual group which is isomorphic to a infinite torsion subgroup of the unit circle in the complex plane. Both families are related…
We further investigate the weak topology generated by the irreducible unitary representations of a group $G$. A deep result due to Ernest \cite{Ernest1971} and Hughes \cite{Hughes1973} asserts that every weakly compact subset of a locally…
We discuss the finiteness of the topological entropy of continuous endomorphims for some classes of locally compact groups. Firstly, we focus on the abelian case, imposing the condition of being compactly generated, and note an interesting…
We characterize inclusions of compact noncommutative convex sets with the property that every continuous affine function on the smaller set can be extended to a continuous affine function on the larger set with a uniform bound. As an…
In this paper we address the relation between the orbifold fundamental group and the topology of the underlying space. In particular, under the assumption that the orbifold fundamental group is equal to the fundamental group of the…
We show that there are locally compact spaces that can be condensed onto separable spaces but not onto compact separable spaces. We also show that for every cardinal $\kappa$ there is a locally compact topological group of cardinality…
Persistent homology enables fast and computable comparison of topological objects. However, it is naturally limited to the analysis of topological spaces. We extend the theory of persistence, by guaranteeing robustness and computability to…
A duality theorem for the category of locally compact Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps which generalizes the well-known Duality Theorem of de Vries is proved.
