We establish topological local rigidity for uniform lattices in compactly generated groups, extending the result of Weil from the realm of Lie groups. We generalize the classical local rigidity theorem of Selberg, Calabi and Weil to…

We announce various results concerning the structure of compactly generated simple locally compact groups. We introduce a local invariant, called the structure lattice, which consists of commensurability classes of compact subgroups with…

The concept of convex compactness, weaker than the classical notion of compactness, is introduced and discussed. It is shown that a large class of convex subsets of topological vector spaces shares this property and that is can be used in…

The main result of the article is a complete characterization of the local structure of two-dimensional sets with positive reach in $R^d$. We also present a more elementary proof of a recent result of A. Lytchak which describes for $k\leq…

The set $\Cal C(G)$ of closed subgroups of a locally compact group $G$ has a natural topology which makes it a compact space. This topology has been defined in various contexts by Vietoris, Chabauty, Fell, Thurston, Gromov, Grigorchuk, and…

We give a constructive proof for the following new collar theorem: every locally collared closed set that is paracompact in a Hausdorff space is collared. This includes the important special case of locally collared closed sets in…

We investigate the class of compact spaces which are embeddable into a power of the real line $R^\kappa$ in such a way that c_0(\kappa) is dense in the image. We show that this is a proper subclass of the class of Valdivia, even when…

We consider vector lattices endowed with locally solid convergence structures, which are not necessarily topological. We show that such a convergence is defined by the convergence to $0$ on the positive cone. Some results on unbounded…

In this article, we prove that for a definable set in an o-minimal structure with connected link (at 0 or infinity), the inner distance of the link is equivalent to the inner distance of the set restricted to the link. With this result, we…

Let $L(X)$ be the free locally convex space over a Tychonoff space $X$. We show that the following assertions are equivalent: (i) $L(X)$ is $\ell_\infty$-barrelled, (ii) $L(X)$ is $\ell_\infty$-quasibarrelled, (iii) $L(X)$ is…

Locatedness is one of the fundamental notions in constructive mathematics. The existence of a positivity predicate on a locale, i.e. the locale being overt, or open, has proved to be fundamental in constructive locale theory. We show that…

A compact graph-like space is a triple $(X,V,E)$ where $X$ is a compact, metrizable space, $V \subseteq X$ is a closed zero-dimensional subset, and $E$ is an index set such that $X \setminus V \cong E \times (0,1)$. New characterizations of…

We provide necessary and/or sufficient conditions on vector spaces $V$ of real sequences to be a Fr\'{e}chet space such that each coordinate map is continuous, that is, to be a locally convex FK space. In particular, we show that if…

The KC property, a separation axiom between weakly Hausdorff and Hausdorff, requires compact subsets to be closed. Various assumptions involving local conditions, dimension, connectivity, and homotopy show certain KC-spaces are in fact…

The class of subsets of locally convex spaces called $\mu$-compact sets is considered. This class contains all compact sets as well as several noncompact sets widely used in applications. It is shown that many results well known for compact…

We prove that the free locally convex space $L(X)$ over a metrizable space $X$ has countable tightness if and only if $X$ is separable.

Weak topologies that yield weak convergence for bounded sequences and nets in CAT($0$) spaces have been studied in the past. We are here concerned with weak topologies that yield weak convergence of unbounded sequences and nets. We analyze…

We study asymptotic topological regularity of CAT(0) spaces. We prove that if a purely n-dimensional, proper, geodesically complete CAT(0) space has small volume growth, then it is homeomorphic to the n-dimensional Euclidean space. We also…

We define a locally convex space $E$ to have the $Josefson$-$Nissenzweig$ $property$ (JNP) if the identity map $(E',\sigma(E',E))\to ( E',\beta^\ast(E',E))$ is not sequentially continuous. By the classical Josefson-Nissenzweig theorem,…

We prove an existence theorem for convex hypersurfaces of prescribed Gauss curvature in the complement of a compact set in Euclidean space which are close to a cone.
