We study completeness of a topological vector space with respect to different filters on the set N of all naturals. In the metrizable case all these kinds of completeness are the same, but in non-metrizable case the situation changes. For…
It is proposed that to the usual probability theory, three definitions and a new theorem are added, the resulting theory allows one to displace the central role usually given to the notion of conditional probability. When a mapping $\phi$…
We clarify and discuss a misunderstanding between uniform completeness and metric completeness, that has appeared in the literature in a study on the Alexandrov topology for a spacetime.
In this paper we make a survey of some recent developments of the theory of Sobolev spaces $W^{1,q}(X,\sfd,\mm)$, $1<q<\infty$, in metric measure spaces $(X,\sfd,\mm)$. In the final part of the paper we provide a new proof of the…
In this paper, we consider the characterization of norm--parallelism problem in some classical Banach spaces. In particular, for two continuous functions $f, g$ on a compact Hausdorff space $K$, we show that $f$ is norm--parallel to $g$ if…
We show that the continuum hypothesis implies there exists a Lindelof space X such that X x X is the union of two metrizable subspaces but X is not metrizable. This gives a consistent solution to a problem of Balogh, Gruenhage, and Tkachuk.…
The identification between the complex plane and the Riemann sphere preserves holomorphic and harmonic functions and is a classical tool. In this paper we consider a similar mapping from an unbounded metric space $X$ to a bounded space and…
A topological space $X$ is called strongly $\sigma$-metrizable if $X=\bigcup_{n\in\omega}X_n$ for an increasing sequence $(X_n)_{n\in\omega}$ of closed metrizable subspaces such that every convergence sequence in $X$ is contained in some…
We investigate whether Szabo's metrizability theorem can be extended to Finsler spaces of indefinite signature. For smooth, positive definite Finsler metrics, this important theorem states that, if the metric is of Berwald type (i.e., its…
Geometric Langlands duality can be understood from statements of mirror symmetry that can be formulated in purely topological terms for an oriented two-manifold $C$. But understanding these statements is extremely difficult without picking…
We prove that every vertically nearly separately continuous function defined on a product of a strong PP-space and a topological space and with values in a strongly $\sigma$-metrizable space with a special stratification, is a pointwise…
The classical Reifenberg's theorem says that a set which is sufficiently well approximated by planes uniformly at all scales is a topological H\"older manifold. Remarkably, this generalizes to metric spaces, where the approximation by…
The paper deals with pretangent spaces to general metric spaces. An ltrametricity criterion for pretangent spaces is found and it is closely related to the metric betweenness in the pretangent spaces.
We prove a conjecture of Toponogov on complete convex planes, namely that such planes must contain an umbilic point, albeit at infinity. Our proof is indirect. It uses Fredholm regularity of an associated Riemann-Hilbert boundary value…
In this paper we prove two general results related to Marstrand's projection theorem in a quite general formulation over separable metric spaces under a suitable transversality hypothesis (the "projections" are in principle only measurable)…
In this paper, we solve the Dirichlet problem for Sobolev maps between singular metric spaces that extends the corresponding result of Guo and Wenger [Comm. Anal. Geom. 2020]. The main new ingredient in our proofs is a suitable extension of…
Physical foundations for relativistic spacetimes are revisited, in order to check at what extent Finsler spacetimes lie in their framework. Arguments based on inertial observers (as in the foundations of Special Relativity and Classical…
The celebrated Mirror Theorem states that the genus zero part of the A model (quantum cohomology, rational curves counting) of the Fermat quintic threefold is equivalent to the B model (complex deformation, variation of Hodge structure) of…
Two non-empty sets $A,B$ of a metric space $(X,d)$ are called parallel if $d(a,B)=d(A,B)=d(A,b)$ for any points $a\in A$ and $b\in B$. Answering a question posed on Mathoverflow, we prove that for a cover $\mathcal C$ of a metrizable space…
Gromov introduced two distance functions, the box distance and the observable distance, on the space of isomorphism classes of metric measure spaces and developed the convergence theory of metric measure spaces. We investigate several…
