Two structures are said to be equimorphic if each embeds in the other. Such structures cannot be expected to be isomorphic, and in this paper we investigate the special case of linear orders, here also called chains. In particular we…

We show that a Busemann space $X$ which is covered by parallel bi-infinite geodesics is homeomorphic to a product of another Busemann space $Y$ and the real line. We also show that a semi-simple isometry on $X$ preserving the foliation by…

We generalized the characterization of H-closedness for linearly ordered pospaces as follows: A pospace $X$ without an infinite antichain is an H-closed pospace if and only if $X$ is a directed complete and down-complete poset such that sup…

Algorithmic decidability is established for two order-theoretic properties of downward closed subsets defined by finitely many obstructions in two infinite posets. The properties under consideration are: (a) being atomic, i.e. not being…

A topological space has the fixed point property if every continuous self-map of that space has at least one fixed point. We demonstrate that there are serious restraints imposed by the requirement that there be a choice of fixed points…

It is shown that under certain stability conditions a complemented subspace of the space $s$ of rapidly decreasing sequences is isomorphic to $s$ and this condition characterizes $s$. This result is used to show that for the classical…

We classify the countable linear orders $X$ for which there is an order $A$ with at least two points such that the lexicographic product $AX$ is isomorphic to $X$. Given such an $X$, we determine every corresponding order $A$, and identify…

In this paper we present the following two results: we give an explicit description of the space of orderings of the field Q(x) as an inverse limit of finite spaces of orderings and we provide a new, simple proof of the fact that the class…

We evidence a family $\mathcal{X}$ of square matrices over a field $\mathbb{K}$, whose elements will be called X-matrices. We show that this family is shape invariant under multiplication as well as transposition. We show that $\mathcal{X}$…

We consider the functor C that to a unital C*-algebra A assigns the partial order set C(A) of its commutative C*-subalgebras ordered by inclusion. We investigate how some C*-algebraic properties translate under the action of C to…

Given an endomorphism u of a finite-dimensional vector space over an arbitrary field K, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a regular quadratic form (resp. a symplectic form) for which u is orthogonal (resp.…

Let $X$ be a Banach space, $(e_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be its basis, and $S_\alpha$ be a Schreier family of order alpha. We introduce Condition A which is a weaker version of the Continuum Hypothesis. Granted Condition A, we show that if the basis…

The goal of this paper is to show the following result: For every integer $n\geq 2$ there is a countable orderable group such that its space of orders is countable and has Cantor-Bendixson rank $n$. We show this by explicitly constructing a…

We consider the approximation properties of finite element spaces on quadrilateral meshes. The finite element spaces are constructed starting with a given finite dimensional space of functions on a square reference element, which is then…

We give a classification and complete algebraic description of groups allowing only finitely many (left multiplication invariant) circular orders. In particular, they are all solvable groups with a specific semi-direct product…

For every finite closure space $X$ one can define a finite topological space $\operatorname{Top} X$ together with a natural projection $\operatorname{Top} X\longrightarrow X$. This could allow to apply the techniques of topological…

Let $A$ be a finite ordered set. Define the ordered set $A^A$ as the set of all maps from $A$ to $A$, ordered pointwise. Let ${}^{A} A$ be the dual of $A^A$. We prove results in the spirit of Parts~I--III, but now using both $A^A$ and…

We show that a space with a finite asymptotic dimension is embeddable in a non-positively curved manifold. Then we prove that if a uniformly contractible manifold X is uniformly embeddable in $\R^n$ or non-positively curved n-dimensional…

Let $X$ be the germ of a smooth complex variety at a given point $x\in {\mathbbb P}^N$ with regular osculation at order $q$ and suppose that, for any direction $v\in {\mathbbb P}T_xX$, there exists a rationnal normal curve locally contained…

We show how to use topological ideas, such as compactness, to establish orderability properties of infinite groups. A new application is to provide a left-ordering for the group of PL homeomorphisms of a connected surface with boundary…
