The Kestelman-Borwein-Ditor Theorem asserts that a non-negligible subset of $\mathbb{R}$ which is Baire (=has the Baire property, BP) or measurable is shift-compact: it contains some subsequence of any null sequence to within translation by…

We find boundaries of Borel-Serre compactifications of locally symmetric spaces, for which any filling is incompressible. We prove this result by showing that these boundaries have small singular models and using these models to obstruct…

For a nonempty compact subset $\sigma$ in the plane, the space $AC(\sigma)$ is the closure of the space of complex polynomials in two real variables under a particular variation norm. In the classical setting, $AC[0,1]$ contains several…

Given a Lie group $G$ with finitely many components and a compact Lie group A which acts on $G$ by automorphisms, we prove that there always exists an A-invariant maximal compact subgroup K of G, and that for every such K, the natural map…

we prove that if $X$ is a locally compact $\sigma$-compact space then on its quotient, $\gamma(X)$ say, determined by the algebra of all real valued bounded continuous functions on $X$, the quotient topology and the completely regular…

For a separable locally compact but not compact metrizable space $X$, let $\alpha X = X \cup \{x_\infty\}$ be the one-point compactification with the point at infinity $x_\infty$. We denote by $EM(X)$ the space consisting of admissible…

We show that the typical nonexpansive mapping on a small enough subset of a CAT($\kappa$)-space is a contraction in the sense of Rakotch. By typical we mean that the set of nonexpansive mapppings without this property is a $\sigma$-porous…

It is a well-known result in pointfree topology that every locally compact frame is spatial. Whether this result extends to MT-algebras (McKinsey-Tarski algebras) was an open problem. We resolve it in the negative by constructing a locally…

We prove that many completeness properties coincide in metric spaces, precompact groups and dense subgroups of products of separable metric groups. We apply these results to function spaces C_p(X,G) of G-valued continuous functions on a…

We prove that if $\Sigma$ is a closed surface of genus at least 3 and $G$ is a split real semisimple Lie group of rank at least $3$ acting faithfully by isometries on a symmetric space $N$, then there exists a Hitchin representation…

For a finite and positive measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ and any weakly compact convex subset of $L\sp\infty(\Omega,\Sigma,mu)$, a fixed point theorem for a class of nonexpansive self-mappings is proved. An analogous result is obtained…

A compactness theorem is proved for a family of K\"{a}hler surfaces with constant scalar curvature and volume bounded from below, diameter bounded from above, Ricci curvature bounded and the signature bounded from below. Furthermore, a…

This paper presents new approaches to the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings in L^1 spaces. While it is well-known that L^1 fails the fixed point property in general, we provide a complete and self-contained proof that…

In this paper, it is shown that a topological space $X$ is compact iff every maximal ideal of the power set ring $\mathcal{P}(X)$ converges to exactly one point of $X$. Then as an application, simple and ring-theoretic proofs are provided…

In this paper, we establish a Minkowski-type inequality for weak Lebesgue space, which allows us to obtain a characterization of relative compactness in these spaces. Furthermore, we are the first to investigate the compactness results of…

For $n\ge 3$, let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $R^n$ and $N$ be a compact Riemannian manifold in $R^L$ without boundary. Suppose that $u_n\in W^{1,n}(\Omega,N)$ are the Palais-Smale sequences of the Dirichlet $n$-energy functional and…

We study $\Sigma_1(\omega_1)$-definable sets (i.e. sets that are equal to the collection of all sets satisfying a certain $\Sigma_1$-formula with parameter $\omega_1$) in the presence of large cardinals. Our results show that the existence…

In this paper we prove a compactness theorem for a sequence of harmonic maps which are defined on a converging sequence of Riemannian manifolds.

There is a well-known global equivalence between \Sigma^1_2 sets having the Universal Baire property, two-step \Sigma^1_3 generic absoluteness, and the closure of the universe under the sharp operation. In this note, we determine the exact…

It is shown that for any Baire space $X$, linearly ordered compact $Y$ and separately continuous mapping $f:X\times Y\to\mathbb R$ there exists a dense in $X$ $G_\delta$-set $A\subseteq X$ such that $f$ is jointly continuous at every point…
