We prove Poincare's Conjecture that every simply connected, closed three-manifold is topologically equivalent to the three-sphere. The proof is founded on the algebraic formulation discovered by J. Stallings.
The paper is devoted to a generalized and simplified version of author's approach to covering theorems in bounded cohomology theory. The amenability assumptions are replaced by weaker and more natural acyclicity assumprions. In the case of…
The paper introduces the class of O-metric spaces, a novel generalization of metric-type spaces, classifying almost all possible metric types into upward and downward O-metrics. We list some topologies arising from O-metrics and discuss…
Let X be a smooth algebraic variety on which a solvable Lie group acts freely on a dense open orbit. Such varieties include generalized flag varieties, toric varieties, Bott-Samelson varieties, and many spherical varieties, as well as…
This paper is the second in a series exploring the properties of a functor which assigns a homotopy double groupoid with connections to a Hausdorff space. We show that this functor satisfies a version of the van Kampen theorem, and so is a…
A Bott tower is the total space of a tower of fibre bundles with base CP^1 and fibres CP^1. Every Bott tower of height n is a smooth projective toric variety whose moment polytope is combinatorially equivalent to an n-cube. A circle action…
Suppose we are given a graph and want to show a property for all its cycles (closed chains). Induction on the length of cycles does not work since sub-chains of a cycle are not necessarily closed. This paper derives a principle reminiscent…
We prove that the ending lamination space of the five-punctured sphere is homeomorphic to the Noebeling curve.
In this paper, we study the structure of homogeneous subgroups of the homeomorphism group of the sphere, which are defined as closed groups of homeomorphisms of the sphere that contain the rotation group. We prove two structure theorems…
We use that the $n$-sphere for $n\geq 2$ is simply-connected to prove the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt Theorem.
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…
We give an updated extended survey of results related to the celebrated unsolved generalized R. L. Moore problem. In particular, we address the problem of characterizing codimension one manifold factors, i.e. spaces $X$ having the property…
We determine the bounded cohomology of the group of homeomorphisms of certain low-dimensional manifolds. In particular, for the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle and of the closed 2-disc, it is isomorphic to the…
It is proved that whenever two aperiodic repetitive tilings with finite local complexity have homeomorphic tiling spaces, their associated complexity functions are asymptotically equivalent in a certain sense (which implies, if the…
High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to spherical, Euclidean and…
This paper proves three different coherence theorems for symmetric monoidal bicategories. First, we show that in a free symmetric monoidal bicategory every diagram of 2-cells commutes. Second, we show that this implies that the free…
We prove an extension of the Moore-Schmidt theorem on the triviality of the first cohomology class of cocycles for the action of an arbitrary discrete group on an arbitrary measure space and for cocycles with values in an arbitrary compact…
We show that the loop space of a moment-angle complex associated to a $2$-dimensional simplicial complex decomposes as a finite type product of spheres, loops on spheres, and certain indecomposable spaces which appear in the loop space…
We interpret the combinatorial Mandelbrot set in terms of \it{quadratic laminations} (equivalence relations $\sim$ on the unit circle invariant under $\sigma_2$). To each lamination we associate a particular {\em geolamination} (the…
We introduce two tools, dynamical thickening and flow selectors, to overcome the infamous discontinuity of the gradient flow endpoint map near non-degenerate critical points. More precisely, we interpret the stable fibrations of certain…
