We prove the following theorem. Let $\mu$ be a measure on $R^n$ with even continuous density, and let $K,L$ be origin-symmetric convex bodies in $R^n$ so that $\mu(K\cap H)\le \mu(L\cap H)$ for any central hyperplane H. Then $\mu(K)\le…

We will prove the relative homotopy principle for smooth maps with singularities of a given {\cal K}-invariant class with a mild condition. We next study a filtration of the group of homotopy self-equivalences of a given manifold P by…

We study homotopic-to-the-identity torus homeomorphisms, whose rotation set has nonempty interior. We prove that any such map is monotonically semiconjugate to a homeomorphism that preserves the Lebesgue measure, and that has the same…

We show in this paper that every domain in a separable Hilbert space, say $\cH$, which has a $C^2$ smooth strongly pseudoconvex boundary point at which an automorphism orbit accumulates is biholomorphic to the unit ball of $\cH$. This is…

For any irrational number $\alpha$, there exists an ergodic area preserving homeomorphism of the closed annulus which is isotopic to the identitity, admits no compact invariant set contained in the interior of the annulus, and has the…

We use the wrinkling theorem proven in Y. Eliashberg and N. Mishachev, "Wrinkling of smooth mappings and its applications - I", Invent. Math., 130(1997), 345-369, to fully describe the homotopy type of the space of S-immersions, i.e.…

This paper continues the author's program to investigate the question of when a homotopy of 2-cocycles $\Omega = \{\omega_t\}_{t \in [0,1]}$ on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ induces an isomorphism of the $K$-theory…

A topology $\tau$ on a monoid $S$ is called {\em shift-continuous} if for every $a,b\in S$ the two-sided shift $S\to S$, $x\mapsto axb$, is continuous. For every ordinal $\alpha\le \omega$, we describe all shift-continuous locally compact…

The main result of this paper gives a topological property satisfied by any homeomorphism of the annulus $\mathbb{A}=\mathbb{S}^1 \times [-1,1]$ isotopic to the identity and with at most one fixed point. This generalizes the classical…

Let $M$ be an oriented closed $3$-manifold. We prove that there exists a constant $A_M$, depending only on the manifold $M$, such that for every self-homotopy equivalence $f$ of $M$ there is an integer $k$ such that $1 \leq k \leq A_M$ and…

We present a complete classification of Hausdorff locally compact polycyclic monoids up to a topological isomorphism. A {\em polycyclic monoid} is an inverse monoid with zero, generated by a subset $\Lambda$ such that $xx^{-1}=1$ for any…

We prove that scaling limits of random planar maps which are uniformly distributed over the set of all rooted 2k-angulations are a.s. homeomorphic to the two-dimensional sphere. Our methods rely on the study of certain random geodesic…

We show that each positive map from B(K) to B(H) with K and H finite dimensional Hilbert spaces is a scalar multiple of a map of the form $Tr - \psi$ with $\psi$ completely positive. This is used to give necessary and sufficient conditions…

In this paper we focus on the set-open topologies on the group $\mathcal{H}(X)$ of all self-homeomorphisms of a topological space $X$ which yield continuity of both the group operations, product and inverse function. As a consequence, we…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact surface. We prove that the set of surface cubications modulo flips, up to isotopy, is in one-to-one correspondence with $\Z/2\Z\oplus H_1(\Sigma,\Z/2\Z)$.

We prove rigidity of oriented isometric immersions of complete surfaces in the homo- geneous 3-manifolds E(k; {\tau}) (different from the space forms) having the same positive extrinsic curvature.

The Solomon-Tits theorem says that the poset of proper non-trivial subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space has realisation equivalent to a wedge of spheres. In this paper we prove a variant of this result for collections of geodesic…

Let $f: \mathbb{T}^2 \to \mathbb{T}^2$ be a homeomorphism homotopic to the identity and $F: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$ a lift of $f$ such that the rotation set $\rho(F)$ is a line segment of rational slope containing a point in…

Consider a Hilbert space obtained as the completion of the polynomials C[z} in m-variables for which the mnonomials are orthogonal. If the commuting weighted shifts defined by the coordinate functions are essentially normal, then the same…

In this paper, we prove a homological mirror symmetry equivalence for pairs of multiplicative hypertoric varieties, and we calculate monodromy autoequivalences of these categories by promoting our result to an equivalence of perverse…
