For every finite closure space $X$ one can define a finite topological space $\operatorname{Top} X$ together with a natural projection $\operatorname{Top} X\longrightarrow X$. This could allow to apply the techniques of topological…

In this note, we consider the space $H(\Omega)^{\mathbb N}$ of sequences of holomorphic functions on an open set $\Omega\subset {\mathbb C}$. If $H(\Omega)$ is endowed with its natural topology and $H(\Omega)^{\mathbb N}$ is endowed with…

In [Pal13] (arXiv:1106.4540) the second author proved that the sequence of "oriented" configuration spaces on an open connected manifold exhibits homological stability as the number of particles goes to infinity. To complement that result…

Metrizable spaces are studied in which every closed set is an $\alpha$-limit set for some continuous map and some point. It is shown that this property is enjoyed by every space containing sufficiently many arcs (formalized in the notion of…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of circular orderability for quandles. We show that the set all right (respectively left) circular orderings of a quandle is a compact topological space. We also show that the space of right…

A topological space $X$ is defined to have an $\omega^\omega$-base if at each point $x\in X$ the space $X$ has a neighborhood base $(U_\alpha[x])_{\alpha\in\omega^\omega}$ such that $U_\beta[x]\subset U_\alpha[x]$ for all $\alpha\le\beta$…

We define a discrete closure operation for definably complete locally o-minimal structures $\mathcal M$. The pair of the underlying set of $\mathcal M$ and the discrete closure operation forms a pregeometry. We define the rank of a…

Given a partially ordered set $P$ we study properties of topological spaces $X$ admitting a $P$-base, i.e., an indexed family $(U_\alpha)_{\alpha\in P}$ of subsets of $X\times X$ such that $U_\beta\subset U_\alpha$ for all $\alpha\le\beta$…

In a recent paper (2018), D. Hofmann, R. Neves and P. Nora proved that the dual of the category of compact partially ordered spaces and monotone continuous maps is a quasi-variety - not finitary, but bounded by $\aleph_1$. An open question…

The state space of a machine admits the structure of time. For example, the geometric realization of a precubical set, a generalization of an unlabeled asynchronous transition system, admits a "local preorder" encoding control flow. In the…

A space X is called an alpha-Toronto space if X is scattered of Cantor-Bendixson rank alpha and is homeomorphic to each of its subspaces of same rank. We answer a question of Steprans by constructing a countable alpha-Toronto space for each…

This expository article describes applications of topological configuration spaces to the control of robotic systems. In particular, we review recent work by the authors on configuration spaces of graphs. These are lovely spaces: we show…

In this paper we introduce primigraph spaces, which are topological spaces together with a sheaf of $C^*$-algebras that can be covered by some Prim A's, that is, by the primitive spectra of some $C^*$-algebras endowed with Jacobson topology…

In the present paper we study necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a semicontinuous and finite Richter-Peleg multi-utility for a preorder. It is well know that, given a preorder on a topological space, if there is a…

In [1] we introduced the concept of structured space, which is a topological space that locally resembles some algebraic structures. In [2] we proceeded the study of these spaces, developing two cohomology theories. The aim of this paper is…

We prove that if $X$ is a topological space that admits Debreu's classical utility theorem (eg.\ $X$ is separable and connected, second countable, etc.), then order relations on $X$ satisfying milder completeness conditions can be…

In many instances in first order logic or computable algebra, classical theorems show that many problems are undecidable for general structures, but become decidable if some rigidity is imposed on the structure. For example, the set of…

A topological space is called P_2 ( P_3, P_{<omega} ) if and only if it does not contain two (three, finitely many) uncountable open sets with empty intersection. We show that (i) there are 0-dimensional P_{<omega} spaces of size 2^omega,…

In spacetime physics, we frequently need to consider a set of all spaces (`universes') as a whole. In particular, the concept of `closeness' between spaces is essential. However, there has been no established mathematical theory so far…

We study the categorical properties of right-preordered groups, giving an explicit description of limits and colimits in this category, and studying some exactness properties. We show that, from an algebraic point of view, the category of…
