In $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ there is a two-parameter family of properly embedded minimal annuli foliated by circles. In this paper we show that this family contains all properly embedded minimal annuli. We use the description of…

Suppose R is any localization of the ring of integers of a number field. We show that the K-theory of finitely generated R-modules, and the K-theory of locally compact R-modules, are Anderson duals in the K(1)-local homotopy category. The…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $K$ a closed connected subgroup. Assume that the order of any torsion element in the integral cohomology of $G$ and $K$ is invertible in a given principal ideal domain $k$. It is known that in…

Suppose that G is a compact Abelian topological group, m is the Haar measure on G and f is a measurable function. Given (n_k), a strictly monotone increasing sequence of integers we consider the nonconventional ergodic/Birkhoff averages…

It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…

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…

Every end of an infinite graph $ G $ defines a tangle of infinite order in $ G $. These tangles indicate a highly cohesive substructure in the graph if and only if they are closed in some natural topology. We characterize, for every finite…

Identity-homotopic self-homeomorphisms of a space of non-periodic 1-dimensional tiling are generalizations of orientation-preserving self-homeomorphisms of circles. We define the analogue of rotation numbers for such maps. In constrast to…

Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra. Its unitary group, $UA$, contains a wealth of topological information about $A$. However, the homotopy type of $UA$ is out of reach even for $A = M_2(\CC)$. There are two simplifications which have been…

We study properties of an array of numbers, called "the triangle," in which each row is formed by rotating all the numbers in the previous row to the left by $m$ positions in cyclical fashion, then appending a number to the end of the row.…

We investigate to what extent a minimal topological dynamical system is uniquely determined by a set of return times to some open set. We show that in many situations this is indeed the case as long as the closure of this open set has no…

Consider a continuous surjective self map of the open annulus with degree d > 1. It is proved that the number of Nielsen classes of periodic points is maximum possible whenever f has a completely invariant essential continuum. The same…

Let ${\mathcal S}(\R)$ be an o-minimal structure over $\R$, $T \subset \R^{k_1+k_2+\ell}$ a closed definable set, and $$ \displaylines{\pi_1: \R^{k_1+k_2+\ell}\to \R^{k_1 + k_2}, \pi_2: \R^{k_1+k_2+\ell}\to \R^{\ell}, \ \pi_3: \R^{k_1 +…

The transient number of a knot K, denoted tr(K), is the minimal number of simple arcs that have to be attached to K, in order that K can be homotoped to a trivial knot in a regular neighborhood of the union of K and the arcs. We give a…

Let $\&$ be a continuous triangular norm on the unit interval $[0,1]$ and $\mathbf{A}$ be a cartesian closed and stable subconstruct of the category consisting of all real-enriched categories. Firstly, it is shown that the category…

Let $K$ be a periodic cell complex endowed with a covering $q:K\to G$ where $G$ is a finite quotient space of equivalence classes under translations acting on $K$. We assume $G$ is embedded in a space whose homotopy type is a $d$-torus for…

Let $X$ be a locally compact zero-dimensional space, let $S$ be an equicontinuous set of homeomorphisms such that $1 \in S = S^{-1}$, and suppose that $\overline{Gx}$ is compact for each $x \in X$, where $G = \langle S \rangle$. We show in…

In this work we attempt to generalize our result in [6] [7] for real rings (not just von Neumann regular real rings). In other words we attempt to characterize and construct real closure * of commutative unitary rings that are real. We also…

We analyze a real one-parameter family of quasiconformal deformations of a hyperbolic rational map known as {\em spinning}. We show that under fairly general hypotheses, the limit of spinning either exists and is unique, or else converges…

Round-based models are very common message-passing models; combinatorial topology applied to distributed computing provides sweeping results like general lower bounds. We combine both to study the computability of k-set agreement. Among all…
