A function $f:\RR^n \to \RR$ is called \emph{vertically rigid} if $graph(cf)$ is isometric to $graph (f)$ for all $c \neq 0$. We settled Jankovi\'c's conjecture in a separate paper by showing that a continuous function $f:\RR \to \RR$ is…

Cain, Clark and Rose defined a function $f\colon \RR^n \to \RR$ to be \emph{vertically rigid} if $\graph(cf)$ is isometric to $\graph (f)$ for every $c \neq 0$. It is \emph{horizontally rigid} if $\graph(f(c \vec{x}))$ is isometric to…

A function f:R -> R is approximately continuous iff it is continuous in the density topology, i.e., for any ordinary open set U the set E=f^{-1}(U) is measurable and has Lebesgue density one at each of its points. Denjoy proved that…

The linear continuity of a function defined on a vector space means that its restriction on every affine line is continuous. For functions defined on $\mathbb R^m$ this notion is near to the separate continuity for which it is required only…

We give a full description of the structure under inclusion of all finite level Borel classes of functions, and provide an elementary proof of the well-known fact that not every Borel function can be written as a countable union of…

We consider the space $C_{\lambda}$ of all continuous interval maps preserving the Lebesgue measure $\lambda$. A continuous function $f\colon~[0,1]\to \mathbb R$ is called Besicovitch if it does not have any finite or infinite unilateral…

A $d$-dimensional (bar-and-joint) framework $(G,p)$ consists of a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a realisation $p:V\to \mathbb{R}^d$. It is rigid if every continuous motion of the vertices which preserves the lengths of the edges is induced by an…

We define periodic frameworks as graphs on the torus, using the language of gain graphs. We present some fundamental definitions and results about the infinitesimal rigidity of graphs on a torus of fixed size and shape, and find necessary…

We define the class of high dimensional graph manifolds. These are compact smooth manifolds supporting a decomposition into finitely many pieces, each of which is diffeomorphic to the product of a torus with a finite volume hyperbolic…

We prove that if $X$ is a paracompact space, $Y$ is a metric space and $f:X\to Y$ is a functionally fragmented map, then (i) $f$ is $\sigma$-discrete and functionally $F_\sigma$-measurable; (ii) $f$ is a Baire-one function, if $Y$ is weak…

A framework (a straight-line embedding of a graph into a normed space allowing edges to cross) is globally rigid if any other framework with the same edge lengths with respect to the chosen norm is an isometric copy. We investigate global…

We prove that a locally integrable function $f:(a,b) \to \mathbb R$ must be affine if its mean oscillation, considered as a function of intervals, can be extended to a locally finite Borel measure. In particular, we show that any function…

Let $\lambda$ be an uncountable cardinal such that $2^{< \lambda } = \lambda$. Working in the setup of generalized descriptive set theory, we study the structure of $\lambda^+$-Borel measurable functions with respect to various kinds of…

Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system and $\mu$ be a invariant measure, we show that $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T)$ is rigid if and only if there exists some subsequence $A$ of $\mathbb N$ such that $(X,T)$ is $\mu$-$A$-equicontinuous if…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$, $\mathcal{V}$ a complete discrete valuation ring with residue field $k$ and field of fractions $K$ of characteristic 0, and $S$ a separated $k$-scheme of finite type. When $S$ is smooth…

We consider Gomory and Johnson's infinite group model with a single row. Valid inequalities for this model are expressed by valid functions and it has been recently shown that any valid function is dominated by some nonnegative valid…

In structural rigidity, one studies frameworks of bars and joints in Euclidean space. Such a framework is an articulated structure consisting of rigid bars, joined together at joints around which the bars may rotate. In this paper, we will…

We define the notion of affine rigidity of a hypergraph and prove a variety of fundamental results for this notion. First, we show that affine rigidity can be determined by the rank of a specific matrix which implies that affine rigidity is…

Fekete, Jord\'an and Kaszanitzky [4] characterised the graphs which can be realised as 2-dimensional, infinitesimally rigid, bar-joint frameworks in which two given vertices are coincident. We formulate a conjecture which would extend their…

A result of Keel and McKernan states that a hypothetical counterexample to the F-conjecture must come from rigid curves on $\bar {M}_{0,n}$ that intersect the interior. We exhibit several ways of constructing rigid curves. In all our…
