Topological insulators are solid state systems of independent electrons for which the Fermi level lies in a mobility gap, but the Fermi projection is nevertheless topologically non-trivial, namely it cannot be deformed into that of a normal…
It is well known that all torsors under an affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field are trivial. We note that under suitable conditions this also holds if the the group is not necessarily of finite type. This has an…
For each $\Pi^0_1$ $S\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, let the $S$-square shift be the two-dimensional subshift on the alphabet $\{0,1\}$ whose elements consist of squares of 1s of various sizes on a background of 0s, where the side length of each…
The disk complex of a surface in a 3-manifold is used to define its {\it topological index}. Surfaces with well-defined topological index are shown to generalize well-known classes, such as incompressible, strongly irreducible, and critical…
An isoparametric family in the unit sphere consists of parallel isoparametric hypersurfaces and their two focal submanifolds. The present paper has two parts. The first part investigates topology of the isoparametric families, namely the…
Let $M$ be a compact orientable surface equipped with a volume form $\omega$, $P$ be either $\mathbb{R}$ or $S^1$, $f:M\to P$ be a $C^{\infty}$ Morse map, and $H$ be the Hamiltonian vector field of $f$ with respect to $\omega$. Let also…
If $X$ is a compact set, a {\it topological contraction} is a self-embedding $f$ such that the intersection of the successive images $f^k(X)$, $k>0$, consists of one point. In dimension 3, we prove that there are smooth topological…
In this paper we focus on compacta $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$ which possess a neighbourhood basis that consists of nested solid tori $T_i$. We call these sets toroidal. In \cite{hecyo1} we defined the genus of a toroidal set as a…
In this work we propose a definition of an Euroattractor: an attracting invariant measure of a certain iterated functions system (IFS). An IFS is defined by specifying a set of functions, defined in subsets of R^N or in a classical phase…
In this paper we give a complete characterization of those knotted toroidal sets that can be realized as attractors for both discrete and continuous dynamical systems globally defined in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We also see that the techniques used…
Suppose $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space. In terms of topolocical properties of $X$, we find topological conditions on $X$ that are equivalent to each of the following: 1. every additive local multiplication on $C\left( X\right) $ is a…
We study the non-wandering set of contracting Lorenz maps. We show that if such a map $f$ doesn't have any attracting periodic orbit, then there is a unique topological attractor. Precisely, there is a compact set $\Lambda$ such that…
A directed graph $R^{\circ}$ on a set $X$ is a set of ordered pairs of distinct points called \emph{arcs}. It is a tournament when every pair of distinct points is connected by an arc in one direction or the other (and not both). We can…
In this paper we develop the theory of topological categories over a base category, that is, a theory of topological functors. Our notion of topological functor is similar to (but not the same) the existing notions in the literature (see…
This paper studies closed 3-manifolds which are the attractors of a system of finitely many affine contractions that tile $\mathbb{R}^3$. Such attractors are called self-affine tiles. Effective characterization and recognition theorems for…
This paper concerns the local connectedness of components of self-similar sets. Given an equal partition of the unit square into n*n small squares, we may choose arbitrarily two or more of them and form an iterated function system. The…
A class of topological spaces is topologically rigid if any two spaces with the same fundamental group are also homeomorphic. Topological rigidity, in addition to its intrinsic interest, has been useful for solving abstract commensurability…
We study locally trivial deformations of toric varieties from a combinatorial point of view. For any fan $\Sigma$, we construct a deformation functor $\mathrm{Def}_\Sigma$ by considering \v{C}ech zero-cochains on certain simplicial…
For any infinite-type surface $S$, a natural question is whether the homology of its mapping class group contains any non-trivial classes that are supported on (i) a compact subsurface or (ii) a finite-type subsurface. Our purpose here is…
The paper is focused on the existence problem of attractors for foliations. Since the existence of an attractor is a transversal property of the foliation, it is natural to consider foliations admitting transversal geometric structures. As…
