We give two characterizations of cones over ellipsoids in real normed vector spaces. Let $C$ be a closed convex cone with nonempty interior such that $C$ has a bounded section of codimension $1$. We show that $C$ is a cone over an ellipsoid…

We prove that if a subset of a $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field with $q$ elements has more than $q^{d-1}$ elements, then it determines all the possible directions. If a set has more than $q^k$ elements, it determines a…

We determine the rational homology of the space of long knots in R^d for $d\geq4$. Our main result is that the Vassiliev spectral sequence computing this rational homology collapses at the E^1 page. As a corollary we get that the homology…

Local well-posedness for the Dirac - Klein - Gordon equations is proven in one space dimension, where the Dirac part belongs to H^{-{1/4}+\epsilon} and the Klein - Gordon part to H^{{1/4}-\epsilon} for 0 < \epsilon < 1/4, and global…

We obtain the local well-posedness for Dirac equations with a Hartree type nonlinearity derived by decoupling the Dirac-Klein-Gordon system. We extend the function space of initial data, enabling us to handle initial data that were not…

We show that if a subspace $A$ of a coarse $PD(n)$ metric space $X$ coarsely separates it, then it must have asymptotic dimension at least $n-1$.

A compact topological space X is spectral if it is sober (i.e., every irreducible closed set is the closure of a unique singleton) and the compact open subsets of X form a basis of the topology of X, closed under finite intersections.…

It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…

Let M_d(k) denote the space of dxd-matrices with coefficients in an algebraically closed field k. Let X be an orbit closure in the product [M_d(k)]^t equipped with the action of the general linear group GL_d(k) by simultaneous conjugation.…

Let $H$ be a separable real Hilbert space. Denote by ${\mathcal G}_{\infty}(H)$ the Grassmannian consisting of closed subspaces with infinite dimension and codimension. This Grassmannian is partially ordered by the inclusion relation. We…

We develop some techniques to check when a twisted homogeneous rack of class (L,t,\theta) is of type D. Then we apply the obtained results to the cases L an alternating group on n letters, n\geq 5, or L a sporadic group.

A uniform space is a topological space together with some additional structure which allows one to make sense of uniform properties such as completeness or uniform convergence. Motivated by previous work of J. Rivera-Letelier, we give a new…

We show that for spaces $A$ that satisfy a certain smallness condition, there is a Lawvere theory $T_A$ so that a space $X$ has the structure of a $T_A$-algebra if and only if $X$ is weakly equivalent to a mapping space out of $A$. In…

A special case of the satisfiability problem, in which the clauses have a hierarchical structure, is shown to be solvable in linear time, assuming that the clauses have been represented in a convenient way.

Let X be a tree of proper geodesic spaces with edge spaces strongly contracting and uniformly separated from each other by a number depending on the contraction function of edge spaces. Then we prove that the strongly contracting geodesics…

In this paper we show that if a cosimplicial space or spectrum $X^\bullet$ has a certain kind of combinatorial structure (we call it a $\Xi^n$-structure) then the total space of $X^\b$ has an action of a certain operad which is weakly…

We investigate Maxwell-scalar models on radially symmetric spacetimes in which the gauge and scalar fields are coupled via the electric permittivity. We find the conditions that allow for the presence of minimum energy configurations. In…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a space of analytic functions on the unit ball $\mathbb B_d$ in $\mathbb C^d$ with multiplier algebra $\mathrm{Mult}(\mathcal{H})$. A function $f\in \mathcal{H}$ is called cyclic if the set $[f]$, the closure of…

In this paper we establish that if a Tychonoff space $X$ is \v{C}ech-complete then the space $O_\tau(X)$ of all $\tau$-smooth order-preserving, weakly additive and normed functionals is also \v{C}ech-complete

Let $A$ be a polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (not necessarily convex or connected). We say that $A$ is spectral if the space $L^2(A)$ has an orthogonal basis consisting of exponential functions. A result due to Kolountzakis and Papadimitrakis…
