E.D. Tymchatyn constructed a hereditarily locally connected continuum which can be approximated by a sequence of mutually disjoint arcs. We show the example re-opens a conjecture of G.T. Seidler and H. Kato about continua which admit…

We provide new computations in bounded cohomology: A group is boundedly acyclic if its bounded cohomology with trivial real coefficients is zero in all positive degrees. We show that there exists a continuum of finitely generated…

Let C(K) denote the Banach algebra of continuous real functions, with the supremum norm, on a compact Hausdorff space K. For two subsets of C(K), one can define their product by pointwise multiplication, just as the Minkowski sum of the…

Given a closed, smooth 4-manifold $X$ and self-diffeomorphism $f$ that is topologically pseudo-isotopic to the identity, we study the question of whether $f$ is moreover smoothly pseudo-isotopic to the identity. If the fundamental group of…

A pseudo-edge graph of a convex polyhedron K is a 3-connected embedded graph in K whose vertices coincide with those of K, whose edges are distance minimizing geodesics, and whose faces are convex. We construct a convex polyhedron K in…

In this paper we study a class of convex sets which are called closed pseudo-cones and study a new duality of this class. It turns out that the duality characterizes closed pseudo-cones and is essentially the only possible abstract duality…

We observe that a recent theorem of Sato, Toms-White-Winter and Kirchberg-Rordam also holds for certain nonunital C*-algebras. Namely, we show that an algebraically simple, separable, nuclear, nonelementary C*-algebra with strict…

We give a (consistent) example of a first-countable continuum that is not a remainder of the real line.

We construct certain non-degenerate maps and sets, mainly in the complex-analytic category. For example, we show that for every countable subset S in an irreducible complex space X there exists a holomorphic map from the unit disk to X such…

Let $G$ be a non-discrete countable metrizable abelian topological group endowed with the coarse structure $ \mathcal{C} $ generated by compact subsets of $G$. We prove that $asdim (G, \mathcal{C} ) = \infty$. For an infinite cyclic…

James Ax conjectured that every pseudo algebraically closed field is $C_1$. We prove this conjecture in characteristic 0 by relating it to degenerations of Fano varieties.

For a subfield K of C, we denote by C^K the category of algebras of functions defined on the globally subanalytic sets that are generated by all K-powers and logarithms of positively-valued globally subanalytic functions. For any function f…

We describe derivations of the Clifford algebra of a nondegenerate quadratic form on a countable dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to $2$. We also construct an algebraic automorphism of…

We construct connected $2$-arc-transitive covers of complete graphs with non-abelian characteristically simple transformation groups. This solves the existence problem for non-solvable $2$-arc-transitive covers of complete graphs.

In this article, we consider algebras $\mathcal{A}$ of non-formal pseudodifferential operators over $S^1$ which contain $C^\infty(S^1),$ understood as multiplication operators. We apply a construction of Chern-Weil type forms in order to…

In 2014, we determine the precise form of a continuous orthogonal form on a commutative real C$^*$-algebra. We also describe the general form of a (not-necessarily continuous) orthogonality preserving linear map between commutative unital…

We prove that certain coinduced actions for an inclusion of finitely generated commensurated subgroups with relative one end are continuous cocycle superrigid actions. We also show the necessity for the relative end assumption.

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is $injectively$ $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if $X$ is closed in each topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$ containing $X$ as a subsemigroup. Let $\mathsf{T_{\!2}S}$ (resp.…

We prove that C*-algebras which, as Banach spaces, are Grothendieck cannot be decomposed into a tensor product of two infinite-dimensional C*-algebras. By a result of Pfitzner, this class contains all von Neumann algebras and their…

Previous work of the author [39] showed that the Homomorphism Preservation Theorem of classical model theory remains valid when its statement is restricted to finite structures. In this paper, we give a new proof of this result via a…
