We show that $C(X)$ admits an equivalent pointwise lower semicontinuous locally uniformly rotund norm provided $X$ is Fedorchuk compact of spectral height 3. In other words $X$ admits a fully closed map $f$ onto a metric compact $Y$ such…

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…

A map $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is defined to be {\em scatteredly continuous} if for each subspace $A\subset X$ the restriction $f|A$ has a point of continuity. We show that for a function $f:X\to Y$ from a perfectly paracompact…

A map $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is skeletal if the preimage $f^{-1}(A)$ of each nowhere dense subset $A\subset Y$ is nowhere dense in $X$. We prove that a normal functor $F:Comp\to Comp$ is skeletal (which means that $F$…

Let $X, Y$ be smooth algebraic varieties of the same dimension. Let $f, g : X \to Y$ be finite polynomial mappings. We say that $f, g$ are equivalent if there exists a regular automorphism $\Phi \in Aut(X)$ such that $f = g\circ \Phi$. Of…

A phantom map is a potentially nontrivial map which induces the zero map on every homology theory and on homotopy groups. Zabrodsky has shown that in the presence of particular finiteness conditions on spaces $X$ and $Y$ every map $X\to Y$…

Let $\pi: Y\rightarrow X$ be a continuous surjection between compact Hausdorff spaces $Y$ and $X$ which is irreducible in the sense that if $F\subsetneq Y$ is closed, then $\pi(F)\neq X$. We exhibit isomorphisms between various Boolean…

We show that the space of continuous functions over a compact space X admits an equivalent pointwise-lowersemicontinuous locally uniformly rotund norm whenever X admits a fully closed map onto a compact Y such that C(Y) and the spaces of…

A continous map $f: \mathbb{C}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{C}^N$ is $k$-regular if the image of any $k$ points spans a $k$-dimensional subspace. It is an important problem in topology and interpolation theory, going back to Borsuk and Chebyshev,…

Let X be a complex nonsingular affine algebraic variety, K a holomorphically convex subset of X, and Y a homogeneous variety for some complex linear algebraic group. We prove that a holomorphic map f:K-->Y can be uniformly approximated on K…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space which is locally absolutely retract and let $\phi: C(X)\to C(Y, M_n)$ be a unital homomorphism, where $Y$ is a compact metric space with ${\rm dim}Y\le 2.$ It is proved that there exists a sequence of $n$…

A map from a manifold to a Euclidean space is said to be k-regular if the image of any distinct k points are linearly independent. In this paper, we give some lower bounds of the dimension of the ambient Euclidean space for complex…

Let $X$ be a locally symmetric space $\Gamma\backslash G/K$ where $G$ is a connected non-compact semisimple real Lie group with trivial centre, $K$ is a maximal compact subgroup of $G$, and $\Gamma\subset G$ is a torsion-free irreducible…

Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a perfect $n$-dimensional surjection of paracompact spaces with $Y$ being a $C$-space. We prove that, for any $m\geq n+1$, almost all (in the sense of Baire category) maps $g$ from $X$ into the $m$-dimensional cube…

Let V, W be real algebraic varieties (that is, up to isomorphism, real algebraic sets), and let X be a subset of V. A map f from X into W is said to be regular if it can be extended to a regular map defined on some Zariski locally closed…

Let X be a Hausdorff quotient of a standard space (that is of a locally compact separable metric space). It is shown that the following are equivalent: (i) X is the image of an irreducible quotient map from a standard space; (ii) X has a…

Let X be a compact (resp. compact and nonsingular) real algebraic variety and let Y be a homogeneous space for some linear real algebraic group. We prove that a continuous (resp. C^infinity) map f:X-->Y can be approximated by regular maps…

A continuous map $f$ from a compact interval $I$ into itself is densely (resp. generically) chaotic if the set of points $(x,y)$ such that $\limsup_{n\to+\infty}|f^n(x)-f^n(y)|>0$ and $\liminf_{n\to+\infty} |f^n(x)-f^n(y)|=0$ is dense…

We address pairs $(X, Y)$ of metric spaces with the following property: for every mapping $f: X \to Y$ the existence of points $x, y \in X$ with $d(f(x),f(y)) > d(x,y)$ implies the existence of $\widetilde{x}, \widetilde{y}\in X$ for which…

We introduce the class of compactly H\"older mappings between metric spaces and determine the extent to which they distort the Minkowski dimension of a given set. These mappings are defined purely with metric notions and can be seen as a…
