For a Tychonoff space $X$, denote by $\mathfrak{P}$ the family of topological properties $\mathcal{P}$ of being a convergent sequence or being a compact, sequentially compact, countably compact, pseudocompact and functionally bounded subset…
A paratopological group $G$ has a {\it suitable set} $S$. The latter means that $S$ is a discrete subspace of $G$, $S\cup \{e\}$ is closed, and the subgroup $\langle S\rangle$ of $G$ generated by $S$ is dense in $G$. Suitable sets in…
Let $G$ be a group and $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subgroups closed under conjugation and subgroups. A model for the classifying space $E_{\mathcal{F}} G$ is a $G$-CW-complex $X$ such that every isotropy group belongs to $\mathcal{F}$, and…
A topological gyrogroup is a gyrogroup endowed with a topology such that the binary operation is jointly continuous and the inverse mapping is also continuous. In this paper, it is proved that if $G$ is a sequential topological gyrogroup…
We present a series of examples of nondiscrete reflexive P-groups (i.e., groups in which all $G_\delta$-sets are open) as well as noncompact reflexive $\omega$-bounded groups (in which the closure of every countable set is compact). Our…
Using tools from the theory of optimal transport, we establish several results concerning isometric actions of amenable topological groups with potentially unbounded orbits. Specifically, suppose $d$ is a compatible left-invariant metric on…
Let G be a connected reductive linear algebraic group. We use geometric methods to investigate G-completely reducible subgroups of G, giving new criteria for G-complete reducibility. We show that a subgroup of G is G-completely reducible if…
We show that for algebraic groups over local fields of characteristic zero, the following are equivalent: Every homomorphism has a closed image, every unitary representation decomposes into a direct sum of finite-dimensional and mixing…
Let N be a nilpotent Lie group and let S be an invariant geometric structure on N (cf. symplectic, complex or hypercomplex). We define a left invariant Riemannian metric on N compatible with S to be "minimal", if it minimizes the norm of…
Throughout this Abstract, $G$ is a topological Abelian group and $\hat{G}$ is the space of continuous homomorphisms from $G$ into $T$ in the compact-open topology. A dense subgroup $D$ of $G$ determines $G$ if the (necessarily continuous)…
We introduce the notion of a contractible subshift. This is a strengthening of the notion of strong irreducibility, where we require that the gluings are given by a block map. We show that a subshift is a retract of a full shift if and only…
We prove that an arbitrary compact metrizable group can be realized as the automorphism group of a graphing; this is a continuous analogue to Frucht's theorem recovering arbitrary finite groups are automorphism groups of finite graphs. The…
We define $\Delta$-Baire spaces. If a paratopological group $G$ is $\Delta$-Baire space, then $G$ is a topological group. Locally pseudocompact spaces, Baire $p$-spaces, Baire $\Sigma$-spaces, products of \v{C}ech-complete spaces are…
According to Kat\vetov (1988), for every infinite cardinal $\mathfrak m$ satisfying ${\mathfrak m}^{\mathfrak n}\leq {\mathfrak m}$ for all ${\mathfrak n}<{\mathfrak m}$, there exists a unique $\mathfrak m$-homogeneous universal metric…
We investigate closed subsets (subsemigroups, resp.) of compact-like topological spaces (semigroups, resp.). We prove that each Hausdorff topological space can be embedded as a closed subspace into an H-closed topological space. However,…
Given an irreducible non-spherical non-affine (possibly non-proper) building $X$, we give sufficient conditions for a group $G < \Aut(X)$ to admit an infinite-dimensional space of non-trivial quasi-morphisms. The result applies to all…
It is well-known that a topological group can be represented as a group of isometries of a reflexive Banach space if and only if its topology is induced by weakly almost periodic functions (see…
This article fits in the context of the approach to topological problems in terms of the underlying convergence space structures, and serves as yet another illustration of the power of the method. More specifically, we spell out…
A metric measure space is said to be Carnot-rectifiable if it can be covered up to a null set by countably many biLipschitz images of compact sets of a fixed Carnot group. In this paper, we give several characterisations of such notion of…
Recall that the Rado graph is the unique countable graph that realizes all one-point extensions of its finite subgraphs. The Rado graph is well-known to be universal and homogeneous in the sense that every isomorphism between finite…
