A topological group G is h-complete if every continuous homomorphic image of G is (Raikov-)complete; we say that G is hereditarily h-complete if every closed subgroup of G is h-complete. In this paper, we establish open-map properties of…

We prove that a large class of metrizable group topologies for subgroups of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and the completions of the subgroups are locally isometric to, respectively, metrizable group topologies for $\mathbb{Z}$ and their completions,…

In this paper we address the question: How many pairwise non-isomorphic extremely amenable groups are there which are separable metrizable or even Polish? We show that there are continuum many such groups. In fact we construct continuum…

We prove that a topological Clifford semigroup $S$ is metrizable if and only if $S$ is an $M$-space and the set $E=\{e\in S:ee=e\}$ of idempotents of $S$ is a metrizable $G_\delta$-set in $S$. The same metrization criterion holds also for…

For every countable group G we construct a compact path connected subspace K of R^4 whose fundamental group is isomorphic to G. Our construction is much simpler than the one found recently by Virk.

Answering a question of Gao and Kechris, we show that, given any polish group G, there exists a closed subset F of Urysohn's universal metric space U such that G is (topologically) isomorphic to the subgroup of isometries of U which map F…

It is known that a definably compact group G is an extension of a compact Lie group L by a divisible torsion-free normal subgroup. We show that the o-minimal higher homotopy groups of G are isomorphic to the corresponding higher homotopy…

A topological space is reversible if each continuous bijection of it onto itself is open. We introduce an analogue of this notion in the category of topological groups: A topological group G is g-reversible if every continuous automorphism…

Let G be a locally compact group, and let U be its unitary representation on a Hilbert space H. Endow the space L(H) of linear bounded operators on H with weak operator topology. We prove that if U is a measurable map from G to L(H) then it…

When $G$ is a Polish group, metrizability of the universal minimal flow has been shown to be a robust dividing line in the complexity of the topological dynamics of $G$. We introduce a class of groups, the CAP groups, which provides a neat…

In this paper we define countable-configuration of groups and prove that two Hopfian groups with the same set of countable-configurations are isomorphic and vice versa. We also study the countable paradoxical decomposition of groups. It is…

For a countable group G and a multiplier c on G with values in the circle, we study the property of G having a unitary projective c-representation which is both irreducible and projectively faithful. We show that this property is equivalent…

We prove definable versions of the Universal Coefficient Theorems of Eilenberg--Mac Lane expressing the (Steenrod) homology groups of a compact metrizable space in terms of its integral cohomology groups, and the (\v{C}ech) cohomology…

We study the isomorphism relation on Borel classes of locally compact Polish metric structures. We prove that isomorphism on such classes is always classifiable by countable structures (equivalently: Borel reducible to graph isomorphism),…

For any countable group, and also for any locally compact second countable, compactly generated topological group, G, we show the existence of a "universal" hypercyclic (i.e. topologically transitive) representation on a Hilbert space, in…

In this paper, we study the uniformities on the double coset spaces in topological groups. As an implication, the quotient spaces of topological groups with a $q$-point are studied. It mainly shows that: (1) Suppose that $G$ is a…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

For two not necessarily commutative topological groups G and T, let H(G,T) denote the space of all continuous homomorphisms from G to T with the compact-open topology. We prove that if G is metrizable and T is compact then H(G,T) is a…

We prove that every open $\sigma$-locally Polish groupoid $G$ is Borel equivalent to the groupoid of models on the Urysohn sphere $\mathbb{U}$ of an $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1\omega}$-sentence in continuous logic. In particular, the orbit…

We initiate the study of a measurable analogue of small topological full groups that we call $\mathrm L^1$ full groups. These groups are endowed with a Polish group topology which admits a natural complete right invariant metric. We mostly…
