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…

In this work we prove that if $X$ is a complete locally convex space and $f:X\to \mathbb{R}\cup \{+\infty \}$ is a function such that $f-x^\ast$ attains its minimum for every $x^\ast \in U$, where $U$ is an open set with respect to the…

Let $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a smooth irreducible affine variety of dimension $k$ and let $F: X\to \mathbb{C}^m$ be a polynomial mapping. We prove that if $m\ge k$, then there is a Zariski open dense subset $U$ in the space of linear…

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…

In this paper, we prove first that the iterates of a mean nonexpansive map defined on a weakly compact, convex set converge weakly to a fixed point in the presence of Opial's property and asymptotic regularity at a point. Next, we prove the…

For any Tychonoff space $X$ let $D(X)$ be either the set $C(X)$ of all continuous functions on $X$ or the set $C^*(X)$ of all bounded continuous functions on $X$. When $D(X)$ is endowed with the point convergence topology, we write…

Michael's selection theorem implies that a closed convex nonempty-valued mapping from the Sorgenfrey line to a euclidean space is inner semicontinuous if and only if the mapping can be represented as the image closure of right-continuous…

Let X be a normal connected complex algebraic variety equipped with a semisimple complex representation of its fundamental group. Then, under a maximality assumption, we prove that the covering space of X associated to the kernel of the…

In this paper, we present the Brouwer-Schauder-Tychonoff fixed point theorem on locally convex spaces as the following extension and improvement: Suppose that S is a compact star-shaped subset with respect to p in S with its convexity index…

Let $({\mathcal M},\rho)$ be a metric space and let $Y$ be a Banach space. Given a positive integer $m$, let $F$ be a set-valued mapping from ${\mathcal M}$ into the family of all compact convex subsets of $Y$ of dimension at most $m$. In…

We prove lifting theorems for complex representations $V$ of finite groups $G$. Let $\sigma=(\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_n)$ be a minimal system of homogeneous basic invariants and let $d$ be their maximal degree. We prove that any continuous map…

Taking an elementary and straightforward approach, we develop the concept of a regular value for a smooth map f: O -> P between smooth orbifolds O and P. We show that Sard's theorem holds and that the inverse image of a regular value is a…

In this paper, two main results concerning uniformly continuous retractions are proved. First, an $\alpha$-H\"older retraction from any separable Banach space onto a compact convex subset whose closed linear span is the whole space is…

Helly's selection theorem provides a criterion for compactness of sets of single-variable functions with bounded pointwise variation. Fra{\v{n}}kov{\'a} has given a proper extension of Helly's theorem to the setting of single-variable…

We prove that every continuous mapping from a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $X$ into $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ can be uniformly approximated by $C^\infty$ smooth mappings {\em with no critical points}. This kind of result can be…

Given a finite simplicial complex $\mathcal{K}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a real algebraic variety $Y,$ by a $\mathcal{K}$-regular map $|\mathcal{K}|\rightarrow Y$ we mean a continuous map whose restriction to every simplex in $\mathcal{K}$ is…

We introduce a new class of ultrafilters which generalizes the well-known class of simple $P$-point ultrafilters. We prove that for any well-founded $\sigma$-directed partial order $\mathbb{D}$ there is a mild forcing extension where there…

Whitney's extension problem asks the following: Given a compact set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ and a function $f:E\to \mathbb{R}$, how can we tell whether there exists $F\in C^m(\mathbb{R}^n)$ such that $F=f$ on $E$? A 2006 theorem of Charles…
