We say that X x Y satisfies the Uniquely Universal property (UU) iff there exists a set U open in X x Y such that for every open set W in Y there is a unique cross section U_x of U with U_x=W. Michael Hrusak raised the question of when does…

Let $U$ be a finite dimentional vector space over $\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb C$, and let $\rho:G\to GL(U)$ be a representation of a connected Lie group $G$. A linear subspace $V\subset U$ is called universal if every orbit of $G$ meets $V$. We…

We give a new short proof for the uniqueness of the universal minimal space. The proof holds for the uniqueness of the universal object in every collection of topological dynamical systems closed under taking projective limits and…

Sormani and Wei proved in 2004 that a compact geodesic space has a categorical universal cover if and only if its covering/critical spectrum is finite. We add to this several equivalent conditions pertaining to the geometry and topology of…

We prove that if $u_1,\,u_2$ are solutions of the Benjamin-Ono equation defined in $ (x,t)\in\R \times [0,T]$ which agree in an open set $\Omega\subset \R \times [0,T]$, then $u_1\equiv u_2$. We extend this uniqueness result to a general…

Let $\mathfrak{M}$ be a class of metric spaces. A metric space $Y$ is minimal $\mathfrak{M}$-universal if every $X\in\mathfrak{M}$ can be isometrically embedded in $Y$ but there are no proper subsets of $Y$ satisfying this property. We find…

For any countable $CW$-complex $K$ and a cardinal number $\tau\geq\omega$ we construct a completely metrizable space $X(K,\tau)$ of weight $\tau$ with the following properties: $\e X(K,\tau)\leq K$, $X(K,\tau)$ is an absolute extensor for…

We prove that for every Hausdorff space X and any uniform quadra space (Y,U) the topology on C(X,Y) induced by the uniformity U| of uniform convergence on the saturation family L coincides with the set-open topology on C(X,Y). In…

For each $n$, we construct a separable metric space $\mathbb{U}_n$ that is universal in the coarse category of separable metric spaces with asymptotic dimension ($\mathop{asdim}$) at most $n$ and universal in the uniform category of…

Two-dimensional version of the classical Mycielski theorem says that for every comeager or conull set $X\subseteq [0,1]^2$ there exists a perfect set $P\subseteq [0,1]$ such that $P\times P\subseteq X\cup \Delta$. We consider…

We deal with the existence of universal members in a given cardinality for several classes. First we deal with classes of Abelian groups, specifically with the existence of universal members in cardinalities which are strong limit singular…

We discuss the existence of $\theta$-vacua in pure Yang-Mills theory in two space-time dimensions. More precisely, a procedure is given which allows one to classify the distinct quantum theories possessing the same classical limit for an…

We give a series of very general sufficient conditions in order to ensure the uniqueness of large solutions for --$\Delta$u + f (x, u) = 0 in a bounded domain $\Omega$ where f : $\Omega$ x R $\rightarrow$ R + is a continuous function, such…

We study the existence and uniqueness of the positive solutions of the problem (P): $\partial_tu-\Delta u+u^q=0$ ($q>1$) in $\Omega\times (0,\infty)$, $u=\infty$ on $\partial\Omega\times (0,\infty)$ and $u(.,0)\in L^1(\Omega)$, when…

We study universal groups for right-angled buildings. Inspired by Simon Smith's work on universal groups for trees, we explicitly allow local groups that are not necessarily finite nor transitive. We discuss various topological and…

Let $U$ be an absolute ultrafilter on the set of non-negative integers $\mathbb{N}$. For any sequence $x=(x_n)_{n\geq 0}$ of real numbers, let $U(x)$ denote the topological filter consisting of the open sets $W$ of $\mathbb{R}$ with $\{n…

Given a partially ordered set $P$ we study properties of topological spaces $X$ admitting a $P$-base, i.e., an indexed family $(U_\alpha)_{\alpha\in P}$ of subsets of $X\times X$ such that $U_\beta\subset U_\alpha$ for all $\alpha\le\beta$…
