Mean equicontinity is a well studied notion for actions. We propose a definition of mean equicontinuous factor maps that generalizes mean equicontinuity to the relative context. For this we work in the context of countable amenable groups.…

A topology $\tau$ on a monoid $S$ is called {\em shift-continuous} if for every $a,b\in S$ the two-sided shift $S\to S$, $x\mapsto axb$, is continuous. For every ordinal $\alpha\le \omega$, we describe all shift-continuous locally compact…

We show that the space of continuous functions over a compact space X admits an equivalent pointwise-lowersemicontinuous locally uniformly rotund norm whenever X admits a fully closed map onto a compact Y such that C(Y) and the spaces of…

We introduce two generalizations of synchronizability to automata with transitions weighted in an arbitrary semiring K=(K,+,*,0,1). (or equivalently, to finite sets of matrices in K^nxn.) Let us call a matrix A location-synchronizing if…

We prove that if two linear codes are equivalent then they are semi-linearly equivalent. We also prove that if two additive MDS codes over a field are equivalent then they are additively equivalent.

In this paper, we establish the quasi-compactness of the transfer operator associated with skew product systems that are semi-conjugate to piecewise convex maps with a countably infinite number of branches. These non-invertible skew…

The paper describes a cover of the future cover of a sofic shift which is canonical in the same way as the future cover itself. In some cases the cover is isomorphic to the future cover and in other it is a genuine extension.

An irreducible norm closed semigroup of complex matrices is simultaneously similar to a semigroup of partial isometries if and only if (a) the norms of all nonzero members of it are uniformly bounded above and below, and (b) its idempotents…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $f:X\rightarrow X$ be a homeomorphism on $X$. We show that if $f$ is both pointwise recurrent and expansive, then the dynamical system $(X, f)$ is topologically conjugate to a subshift of some…

Given a strictly positive measure, we characterize inner semicontinuous solid convex-valued mappings for which continuous functions which are selections almost everywhere are selections. This class contains continuous mappings as well as…

It is shown that max-preserving maps (or join-morphisms) on the positive orthant in Euclidean $n$-space endowed with the component-wise partial order give rise to a semiring. This semiring admits a closure operation for maps that generate…

We associate to triangulations of infinite type surface a type of flip graph where simultaneous flips are allowed. Our main focus is on understanding exactly when two triangulations can be related by a sequence of flips. A consequence of…

Let $\mathcal{F} $ be a pointwise almost periodic decomposition of a compact metrizable space $X$. Then $\mathcal{F} $ is $R$-closed if and only if $\hat{\mathcal{F}} $ is usc. Moreover, if there is a finite index normal subgroup $H$ of an…

The article reviews different definitions for a convolutional code which can be found in the literature. The algebraic differences between the definitions are worked out in detail. It is shown that bi-infinite support systems are dual to…

A subset $B \subset Y$ is constructible if it is an element of the smallest family that contains all open sets and is stable under finite intersections and complements. A function $f : X \to Y$ is said to be piece-wise closed if $X$ can be…

In nature, instances of synchronisation abound across a diverse range of environments. In the quantum regime, however, synchronisation is typically observed by identifying an appropriate parameter regime in a specific system. In this work…

We call a function $f: X\to Y$ $P$-preserving if, for every subspace $A \subset X$ with property $P$, its image $f(A)$ also has property $P$. Of course, all continuous maps are both compactness- and connectedness-preserving and the natural…

If the cyclic sequences of {face types} {at} all vertices in a map are the same, then the map is said to be a semi-equivelar map. In particular, a semi-equivelar map is equivelar if the faces are the same type. Homological quantum codes…

This paper studies the problem of decomposing a low-rank positive-semidefinite matrix into symmetric factors with binary entries, either $\{\pm 1\}$ or $\{0,1\}$. This research answers fundamental questions about the existence and…

We show that every convex code realizable by compact sets in the plane admits a realization consisting of polygons, and analogously every open convex code in the plane can be realized by interiors of polygons. We give factorial-type bounds…
