We consider the isometry group of the infinite dimensional separable hyperbolic space with its Polish topology. This topology is given by the pointwise convergence. For non-locally compact Polish groups, some striking phenomena like…

We prove that the isometry group $\Iso(\Ur)$ of the universal Urysohn metric space $\Ur$ equipped with the natural Polish topology is a L\'evy group in the sense of Gromov and Milman, that is, admits an approximating chain of compact (in…

A general overview of the phenomenon of automatic continuity of homomorphisms between Polish groups is given. In particular, we study variants and improvements of the closed graph theorem, applying these to the problem of continuity of…

A Polish group is surjectively universal if it can be continuously homomorphically mapped onto every Polish group. Making use of a type of new metrics on free groups \cite{DG}, we prove the existence of surjectively universal Polish groups,…

We present the effective version of the theorem about turning Borel sets in Polish spaces into clopen sets while preserving the Borel structure of the underlying space. We show that under some conditions the emerging parameters can be…

We study countable embedding-universal and homomorphism-universal structures and unify results related to both of these notions. We show that many universal and ultrahomogeneous structures allow a concise description (called here a finite…

This article presents a novel mathematical formalism for advanced manifold--metric pairs, enhancing the frameworks of geometry and topology. We construct various D-dimensional manifolds and their associated metric spaces using functional…

A marked metric measure space (mmm-space) is a triple (X,r,mu), where (X,r) is a complete and separable metric space and mu is a probability measure on XxI for some Polish space I of possible marks. We study the space of all (equivalence…

We introduce the notion of compactifiable classes -- these are classes of metrizable compact spaces that can be up to homeomorphic copies ``disjointly combined'' into one metrizable compact space. This is witnessed by so-called compact…

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…

This paper presents a framework for assigning intrinsic geometric structures to topological groups using only the data provided by their topological and algebraic structure. The geometrisation spits into small-scale and large-scale…

On any metric space, I provide an intrinsic characterization of those complex-valued functions which are uniform limits of Lipschitz functions. There are applications to function theory on complete Riemannian manifolds and, in particular,…

We present an extension of the Gromov-Hausdorff metric on the set of compact metric spaces: the Gromov-Hausdorff-Prokhorov metric on the set of compact metric spaces endowed with a finite measure. We then extend it to the non-compact case…

The Halpern-L\"auchli theorem, a combinatorial result about trees, admits an elegant proof due to Harrington using ideas from forcing. In an attempt to distill the combinatorial essence of this proof, we isolate various partition principles…
