Let $M$ be a model set meeting two simple conditions: (1) the internal space $H$ is a product of $R^n$ and a finite group, and (2) the window $W$ is a finite union of disjoint polyhedra. Then any point pattern with finite local complexity…
Let A be a finitely generated associative algebra over an algebraically closed field. We characterize the finite dimensional modules over A whose orbit closures are regular varieties.
Given a compact subset $F$ of $\mathbb{R}^2$, the visible part $V_\theta F$ of $F$ from direction $\theta$ is the set of $x$ in $F$ such that the half-line from $x$ in direction $\theta$ intersects $F$ only at $x$. It is suggested that if…
We introduce and investigate a topological version of St\"ackel's 1907 characterization of finite sets, with the goal of obtaining an interesting notion that characterizes usual compactness (or a close variant of it). Define a $T_2$…
We provide a simple proof for the union-closed sets conjecture, a long-standing open problem in set theory with immediate applications to graph theory, number theory, and order-theory.
We prove that for two connected sets $E,F\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ with cardinalities greater than $1$, if one of $E$ and $F$ is compact and not a line segment, then the arithmetic sum $E+F$ has non-empty interior. This improves a recent result…
We show that every connected set $X$ which is irreducible between two points $a$ and $b$ embeds into the Hilbert cube in a way that $X\cup \{c\}$ is irreducible between $a$ and $b$ for every point $c$ in the closure of $X$. Also, a…
For a compact subset $K$ of the complex plane $\mathbb C,$ let $C(K)$ denote the algebra of continuous functions on $K$. For an open subset $U \subset K,$ let $A(K,U) \subset C(K)$ be the algebra of functions that are analytic in $U.$ We…
This paper brings several contributions to the classical Forster-Bell-Narasimhan conjecture and the Yang problem concerning the existence of proper and almost proper (hence complete) injective holomorphic immersions of open Riemann surfaces…
We construct a family F of compact and pathwise connected subsets of the Euclidean plane such that (i) the cardinality of F is that of the continuum (and hence extremely large) and (ii) if X,Y are distinct spaces in F then there never…
Let A be a C*-algebra and A** its enveloping von Neumann algebra. C. Akemann suggested a kind of non-commutative topology in which certain projections in A** play the role of open sets. The adjectives "open", "closed", "compact", and…
Let $K$ be a compact subset of $\bar{\bold C} ={\bold R}^2$ and let $K^c$ denote its complement. We say $K\in HR$, $K$ is holomorphically removable, if whenever $F:\bar{\bold C} \to\bar{\bold C}$ is a homeomorphism and $F$ is holomorphic…
Using the wonderful compactification of a semisimple adjoint affine algebraic group G defined over an algebraically closed field k of arbitrary characteristic, we construct a natural compactification Y of the G-character variety of any…
A theorem of A. Weil asserts that a topological group embeds as a (dense) subgroup of a locally compact group if and only if it contains a non-empty precompact open set; such groups are called locally precompact. Within the class of locally…
Let $A$ be a unital separable simple amenable $C^*$-algebra with finite tracial rank which satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT). Suppose $\af$ and $\bt$ are two automorphisms with the Rokhlin property that {induce the same…
We prove that if f is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of a closed orientable surface M whose singular set is totally disconnected, then f is topologically conjugate to a conformal transformation.
Let $U$ be an open relatively compact subanalytic subset of a real analytic manifold. We show that there exists a finite linear covering (in the sense of Guillermou and Schapira) of $U$ by subanalytic open subsets of $U$ homeomorphic to a…
We prove a variant of the Mergelyan approximation theorem that allows us to approximate functions that are analytic and nonvanishing in the interior of a compact set K with connected complement, and whose interior is a Jordan domain, with…
An interval in a combinatorial structure S is a set I of points which relate to every point from S I in the same way. A structure is simple if it has no proper intervals. Every combinatorial structure can be expressed as an inflation of a…
We describe the global structure of totally disconnected locally compact groups having a linear open compact subgroup. Among the applications, we show that if a non-discrete, compactly generated, topologically simple, totally disconnected…
