In this paper we consider finite dimensional dynamical systems generated by a Lipschitz function. We prove a version of the Whitney's Extension Theorem on compact manifolds to obtain a version of the well-known Lambda Lemma for Lipschitz…

A Margulis spacetime is a complete flat affine Lorentzian 3-manifold with free fundamental group. Associated to $M$ is a noncompact complete hyperbolic surface $\Sigma$. We study double extensions of $\pi_1 (M) \cong \pi_1 (\Sigma)$ when…

In this note, we construct a distal expansion for the structure $(\mathbb{R}; +,<,H)$, where $H\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is a dense $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space basis of $\mathbb{R}$ (a so-called Hamel basis). Our construction is also an expansion…

In this note, we show that for any harmonic map into a non-compact symmetric space one can find naturally a "dual" harmonic map into a compact symmetric space which can be constructed from the same basic data (called "potentials" in the…

A differential form defined on a Riemannian manifold is said to harmonic if it is closed and co-closed. Harmonic differential forms are a natural multi-dimensional extension of the concept of analytic function of complex variable. In this…

We prove a gap rigidity theorem for diagonal curves in irreducible compact Hermitian symmetric spaces of tube type, which is a dual analogy to a theorem obtained by Mok in noncompact case. Motivated by the proof we give a theorem on weaker…

We use double categories to obtain a single theorem characterizing certain exponentiable morphisms of small categories, topological spaces, locales, and posets.

We study a new bi-Lipschitz invariant \lambda(M) of a metric space M; its finiteness means that Lipschitz functions on an arbitrary subset of M can be linearly extended to functions on M whose Lipschitz constants are enlarged by a factor…

The strong shape category of compact metrizable spaces (compacta) is very well-studied; extending it to noncompact spaces, however, introduces computational complexity that makes it hard to work with. The fine shape category, as defined by…

Let $G$ be a Lie group, with an invariant non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form on its Lie algebra, let $\pi$ be the fundamental group of an orientable (real) surface $M$ with a finite number of punctures, and let $\bold C$ be a family of…

Let $\mathfrak{P}$ be a topological property. We study the relation between the order structure of the set of all $\mathfrak{P}$-extensions of a completely regular space $X$ with compact remainder (partially ordered by the standard partial…

On the basis of the covariant description of the canonical formalism for quantization, we present the basic elements of the symplectic geometry for a restricted class of topological defects propagating on a curved background spacetime. We…

This paper introduces an abstract notion of fragments of monadic second-order logic. This concept is based on purely syntactic closure properties. We show that over finite words, every logical fragment defines a lattice of languages with…

Using a ``3 by 3 matrix trick'' we previously showed that multiplication in a C*-algebra A, an algebraic structure, is determined by the geometry of the C*-algebra of the 3 by 3 matrices with entries from A. As an application of this…

Any nonpositively curved symmetric space admits a topological compactification, namely the Hadamard compactification. For rank one spaces, this topological compactification can be endowed with a differentiable structure such that the action…

By dimensional reduction of a self dual p-form theory on some compact space, we determine the duality generators of the gauge theory in 4 dimensions. In this picture duality is seen as a consequence of the geometry of the compact space. We…

We identify a class of symmetric algebras over a complete discrete valuation ring $\mathcal O$ of characteristic zero to which the characterisation of Kn\"orr lattices in terms of stable endomorphism rings in the case of finite group…

Recently a new approach to varying exponent $L^{p(\cdot)}$ space norms employing weak solutions to first order ordinary differential equations was initiated by the author. The duality of these ODE-determined $L^{p(\cdot)}$ spaces is…

Let $X$ be a space. A space $Y$ is called an extension of $X$ if $Y$ contains $X$ as a dense subspace. For an extension $Y$ of $X$ the subspace $Y\backslash X$ of $Y$ is called the remainder of $Y$. Two extensions of $X$ are said to be…

Dualities between quantum field theories have proven to be a powerful tool in various areas of physics. In this paper, we introduce a new perspective for obtaining strong coupling expansions based on a well-known technique -- the…
