We establish some geometrical properties of the space of idempotent probability measures. In particular, for a compact $X$ it is established that if the space $I_{3}(X)\backslash X$ is hereditary normally, then $X$ is metrizable; some…

A compact space X is I-favorable if, and only if X can be representing as a limit of $\sigma$-complete inverse system of compact metrizable spaces with skeletal bonding maps.

A metric space $(X,d)$ has the de Groot property $GP_n$ if for any points $x_0,x_1,...,x_{n+2}\in X$ there are positive indices $i,j,k\le n+2$ such that $i\ne j$ and $d(x_i,x_j)\le d(x_0,x_k)$. If, in addition, $k\in\{i,j\}$ then $X$ is…

For a continuous action $G\curvearrowright X$ of a countable group on a compact metrizable space we show that the following are equivalent: (i) the action $G\curvearrowright X$ has the small boundary property and no finite orbits, (ii) for…

We study property A defined by G. Yu and the operator norm localization property defined by X. Chen, R. Tessera, X. Wang, and G. Yu. These are coarse geometric properties for metric spaces which have applications to operator K-theory. It is…

In this paper we prove that for a compact space $X$ inclusion $P_{f}(X)\in ANR$ holds if and only if $X\in ANR$. Further, it is shown that the functor $P_{f}$ preserves property of a compact to be $Q$-manifold or a Hilbert cube, properties…

A generalization of the Lebesgue number lemma is obtained. It is proved that, if each countably infinite locally finite open cover of a chainable metric space $X$ has a Lebesgue number, then $X$ is totally bounded. A property of metric…

Let $X$ be a Borel metric measure space such that each closed ball is of positive and finite measure. In this paper, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for averaging operators on a Banach function space $E(X)$ on $X$ to be…

We demonstrate that there is a large class of compact metric spaces for which the shadowing property can be characterized as a structural property of the space of dynamical systems. We also demonstrate for this class of spaces, that in…

We give a new and elementary proof showing that a homeomorphism of a compact metric space is positively expansive if and only if the space is finite.

We show that if a group $G$ acts by isometries on a metric space $M$ which has asymptotic property C, such that the quasi-stabilizers of a point $x \in M$ have asymptotic dimension less than or equal to $n$, then $G$ itself has asymptotic…

Given a separable metrisable space X, and a group G of homeomorphisms of X, we introduce a topological property of the action of G on X which is equivalent to the existence of a G-invariant compatible metric on X. This extends a result of…

In this work we study the geodesic structure of the space $\Sigma (X)$ of compact balls of a complete and locally compact metric length space endowed with the Hausdorff distance $d_H$. In particular, we focus on a geometric condition…

We prove that a homeomorphism f of a compact metric space X satisfies the L-shadowing property if and only if its induced hyperspace homeomorphism also satisfies the L-shadowing property. In the proof, assuming only the L-shadowing…

We investigate a property: a domain cuts the ambient space if and only if it's boundary is disconnected. Previously, we had shown that for compact manifolds this property is equivalent to the manifold having trivial 1-cohomology. We now…

We show sufficient criteria for a group of homeomorphisms acting on a metric space X to extend to one acting on a given compactification of X. We give examples for when this can fail when one of the criteria is not met.

Ghostly ideals are among the most mysterious objects in coarse index theory. In this paper, we show that if a metric space $X$ with bounded geometry admits a coarse embedding into an $\ell^p$-space ($1 \le p < \infty$), then the canonical…

In the paper we proved that for a compact $X$ inclusion $I_{f}(X)\in ANR$ holds if and only if $X\in ANR$. Further, it is shown that the functor $I_{f}$ preserves property of a compact to be $Q$-manyfold or a Hilbert cube, preserves…

A topological space $X$ is Baire if the Baire Category Theorem holds for $X$, i.e., the intersection of any sequence of open dense subsets of $X$ is dense in $X$. One of the interesting problems in the theory of functional spaces is the…

Property A was introduced by Yu as a non-equivariant analogue of amenability. Nigel Higson posed the question of whether there is a homological characterisation of property A. In this paper we answer Higson's question affirmatively by…
