We construct an example announced in the title. It answers in a strong way a well-known open problem in topological dynamics. In fact our construction is an existence theorem. It is based on a Borsuk-Ulam type theorem whose proof heavily…

Let $G=\mathbb{Z}_2$ act on a finite CW-complex $X$ having mod 2 cohomology isomorphic to the product of projective space and sphere $\mathbb{F}P^n\times \mathbb{S}^m,$ where $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}.$ In this paper, we have…

Let $H$ be the C*-algebra of a non-trivial compact quantum group acting freely on a unital C*-algebra $A$. It was recently conjectured that there does not exist an equivariant $*$-homomorphism from $A$ (type-I case) or $H$ (type-II case) to…

In this paper some results on the topology of the space of $k$-flats in $\mathbb R^n$ are proved, similar to the Borsuk-Ulam theorem on coverings of sphere. Some corollaries on common transversals for families of compact sets in $\mathbb…

It is proved that for a product action of $(\mathbb Z_p)^k$ on a product of (mod p) homology spheres $N^{n_1}\times...\times N^{n_k}$, where all $n_i$'s are assumed to be odd if $p$ is odd, and any continuous map $f\colon…

In this note, we give a simple proof of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem for $Z_p$-actions. We prove that, if $S^n$ and $S^m$ are equipped with free $Z_p$-actions (p prime) and $f: S^n \to S^m$ is a $Z_p$-equivariant map, then $n \leq m$.

Let $M$ be a topological space that admits a free involution $\tau$, and let $N$ be a topological space. A homotopy class $\beta \in [ M,N ]$ is said to have the Borsuk-Ulam property with respect to $\tau$ if for every representative map…

Let $M$ be a topological space that admits a free involution $\tau$, and let $N$ be a topological space. A homotopy class $\beta \in [ M,N ]$ is said to have {\it the Borsuk-Ulam property with respect to $\tau$} if for every representative…

For a Hausdorff space $X$, a free involution $\tau:X\to X$ and a Hausdorff space $Y$, we discover a connection between the sectional category of the double covers $q:X\to X/\tau$ and $q^Y:F(Y,2)\to D(Y,2)$ from the ordered configuration…

The main result of this paper is that any $3$-dimensional manifold with a finite group action is equivariantly, invertibly homology cobordant to a hyperbolic manifold; this result holds with suitable twisted coefficients as well. The…

We give bordism-finiteness results for manifolds with semi-simple group action. Consider the class of oriented manifolds which admit a circle action with isolated fixed points such that the action extends to an $S^3$-action with fixed…

We give a different and possibly more accessible proof of a general Borsuk--Ulam theorem for a product of spheres, originally due to Ramos. That is, we show the non-existence of certain $(\mathbb{Z}/2)^k$-equivariant maps from a product of…

We present a proof for certain cases of the noncommutative Borsuk-Ulam conjectures proposed by Baum, D\k{a}browski, and Hajac. When a unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ admits a free action of $\mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z}$, $k \geq 2$, there is no…

Within the framework of free actions of compact quantum groups on unital C*-algebras, we propose two conjectures. The first one states that, if $H$ is the C*-algebra of a compact quantum group coacting freely on a unital C*-algebra $A$,…
