A continuum $X$ is a dendrite if it is locally connected and contains no simple closed curve, a self mapping $f$ of $X$ is called monotone if the preimage of any connected subset of $X$ is connected. If $X$ is a dendrite and $f:X\to X$ is a…

We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ from a first-countable (more generally, Preiss-Simon) space $X$ to a regular space $Y$ is weakly discontinuous (which means that every subspace $A\subset X$ contains an open dense subset $U\subset A$ such…

Normal maps between discrete groups $N\rightarrow G$ were characterized [FS] as those which induce a compatible topological group structure on the homotopy quotient $EN\times_N G$. Here we deal with topological group (or loop) maps…

The critical loci of a map $f:X\to Y$ between smooth schemes over a field $k$ are the locally closed subschemes $\Sigma^i(f)\subseteq X$ where the differential of $f$ has constant rank. We prove that if $f : X\to \mathbb A^r$ is the general…

We call a continuous map $f : X \to Y$ nowhere constant if it is not constant on any non-empty open subset of its domain $X$. Clearly, this is equivalent with the assumption that every fiber $f^{-1}(y)$ of $f$ is nowhere dense in $X$. We…

For metric spaces $X$ and $Y$, normed spaces $E$ and $F$, and certain subspaces $A(X,E)$ and $A(Y,F)$ of vector-valued continuous functions, we obtain a complete characterization of linear and bijective maps $T:A(X,E)\to A(Y,F)$ preserving…

In this paper we continue Prasma's homotopical group theory program by considering homotopy normal maps in arbitrary $\infty$-topoi. We show that maps of group objects equipped with normality data, in Prasma's sense, are algebras for a…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is said to be a {\it weakly Gibson function} if $f(\overline{G})\subseteq \overline{f(G)}$ for any open connected set \mbox{$G\subseteq X$}. We call a function $f:X\to Y$ {\it segmentary…

In this paper we show that the six functor formalism for sheaves on locally compact Hausdorff topological spaces, as developed for example in Kashiwara and Schapira's book Sheaves on Manifolds, can be extended to sheaves with values in any…

We prove that the inclusion of map(X,Y) into map(K(X),K(Y)) is continuous, where K(X) is the space of non-empty compact subsets of X (also known as the hyperspace of compact subsets of X), and both spaces of maps are endowed with the…

In the following text we show if $X$ is an Alexandroff space, then $f:X\to Y$ has closed graph if and only if it has constant closed value on each connected component of $X$. Moreover, if $X$ an Alexandroff space and $f:X\to Y$ has closed…

Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are surfaces of finite topological type, where $X$ has genus $g\geq 6$ and $Y$ has genus at most $2g-1$; in addition, suppose that $Y$ is not closed if it has genus $2g-1$. Our main result asserts that every…

It is shown that the existence of a biseparating map between a large class of spaces of vector-valued continuous functions A(X,E) and A(Y,F) implies that some compactifications of X and Y are homeomorphic. In some cases, conditions are…

Given a countable group $G$ and two subshifts $X$ and $Y$ over $G$, a continuous, shift-commuting map $\phi : X \to Y$ is called a homomorphism. Our main result states that if every finitely generated subgroup of $G$ has polynomial growth,…

We prove that if $f\colon X\to Y$ is a closed surjective map between metric spaces such that every fiber $f^{-1}(y)$ belongs to a class of space $\mathrm S$, then there exists an $F_\sigma$-set $A\subset X$ such that $A\in\mathrm S$ and…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be proper metric spaces. We show that a coarsely $n$-to-$1$ map $f\colon X\to Y$ induces an $n$-to-$1$ map of Higson coronas. This viewpoint turns out to be successful in showing that the classical dimension raising theorems…

A function f is continuous iff the PRE-image f^{-1}[V] of any open set V is open again. Dual to this topological property, f is called OPEN iff the IMAGE f[U] of any open set U is open again. Several classical Open Mapping Theorems in…

It is showed that the class of all compact Hausdorff and $I$-favorable spaces is adequate for the class of skeletal maps.

We show that if there exists a topologically expansive homeomorphism on a uniform space, then the space is always a regular space. Through examples we show that in general composition of topologically expansive homeomorphisms need not be…

Compacta X and Y are said to admit a stable intersection in R^n if there are maps f : X -> R^n and g : Y -> R^n such that for every sufficiently close continuous approximations f' : X -> R^n and g' : Y -> R^n of f and g we have f'(X)\cap…
