We classify irreducible representations of compact connected Lie groups whose orbit space is isometric to the orbit space of a representation of a compact Lie group of dimension~$7$, $8$ or $9$. They turn out to be closely related to…
For a compact space $K$ we denote by $C_w(K)$ ($C_p(K)$) the space of continuous real-valued functions on $K$ endowed with the weak (pointwise) topology. In this paper we address the following basic question which seems to be open: Suppose…
A spectral sequence calculating the homology groups of some spaces of maps equivariant under compact group actions is described. For the main example, we calculate the rational homology groups of spaces of even and odd maps $S^m \to S^M$,…
The Lefschetz fixed point theorem provides a powerful obstruction to the existence of minimal homeomorphisms on well-behaved spaces such as finite CW-complexes. We show that these obstructions do not hold for more general spaces. More…
It is common that a Sobolev space defined on $\mathbb{R}^m$ has a non-compact embedding into an $L^p$-space, but it has subspaces for which this embedding becomes compact. There are three well known cases of such subspaces, the Rellich…
Let $X$ and $Y$ be Polish spaces with non-atomic Borel measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ of full support. Suppose that $T$ and $S$ are ergodic non-singular homeomorphisms of $(X,\mu)$ and $(Y,\nu)$ with continuous Radon-Nikodym derivatives. Suppose…
We completely describe the Gromov-Hausdorff closure of the class of length spaces being homeomorphic to a fixed closed surface.
In this paper we answer positively a question raised by Kapovich and Leeb in a paper titled "Finsler bordifications of symmetric and certain locally symmetric spaces". Specifically, we show that for a finite-dimensional vector space with a…
In this paper, we deal with the classification complexity of continuous (Devaney) chaotic systems in dimensions $0,1$ and $\infty$ using the framework of invariant descriptive set theory. We identify the complexity in dimensions $0$ and…
We characterize coset spaces of topological groups which are coset spaces of (separable) metrizable groups and complete metrizable (Polish) groups. Besides, it is shown that for a $G$-space $X$ with a $d$-open action there is a topological…
We prove that under [CH], finite compactifications of $\omega^* \setminus \{x\}$ are homeomorphic to $\omega^*$. Moreover, in each case, the remainder consists almost exclusively of $P$-points, apart from possibly one point. Similar results…
In this paper, we want to study the link between the presence of compact objects with some analytic structure and the global geometry of a weakly complete surface. We begin with a brief survey of some now classic results on the local…
In 1995, S. Adams and G. Stuck as well as A. Zeghib independently provided a classification of non-compact Lie groups which can act isometrically and locally effectively on compact Lorentzian manifolds. In the case that the corresponding…
In this paper, we define homeology group, reduced homeology group, cohomeology group and reduced cohomeology group on finite simpicial complexes and prove that these groups are homeomorphism invariants of polyhedra. We also define homeotopy…
Orbits of automorphism groups of partially ordered sets are not necessarily congruence classes, i.e. images of an order homomorphism. Based on so-called orbit categories a framework of factorisations and unfoldings is developed that…
We study polar actions with horizontal sections on the total space of certain principal bundles $G/K\to G/H$ with base a symmetric space of compact type. We classify such actions up to orbit equivalence in many cases. In particular, we…
Consider a compact Lie group and a closed subgroup. Generalizing a result of Klyachko, we give a necessary and sufficient criterion for a coadjoint orbit of the subgroup to be contained in the projection of a given coadjoint orbit of the…
This is a survey paper on moduli spaces that have a natural structure of a (possibly incomplete) locally symmetric variety. We outline the Baily-Borel compactification for such varieties and compare it with the compactifications furnished…
We investigate the Hilbert complex of elasticity involving spaces of symmetric tensor fields. For the involved tensor fields and operators we show closed ranges, Friedrichs/Poincare type estimates, Helmholtz type decompositions, regular…
We extend the result of Nadel describing the relationship between approximations of canonical Scott sentences and admissible sets to the general case of orbit equivalence relations induced on an arbitrary Polish space by a Polish group…
