The basic result of Oka theory, due to Gromov, states that every continuous map $f$ from a Stein manifold $S$ to an elliptic manifold $X$ can be deformed to a holomorphic map. It is natural to ask whether this can be done for all $f$ at…

A theorem of A.A. Brudno says that the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of a subshift X over $\mathbb{N}$ with respect to an ergodic measure $\mu$ equals the asymptotic Kolmogorov complexity of almost every word $\omega$ in X. The purpose of this…

The aim of this paper is to prove a trace theorem for Besov functions in the metric setting, generalizing a known result from A. Jonsson and H. Wallin in the Euclidean case. We show that the trace of a Besov space defined in a `big set' $X$…

In this paper, we introduce Kondratiev spaces of fractional smoothness based on their close relation to refined localization spaces. Moreover, we investigate relations to other approaches leading to extensions of the scale of Kondratiev…

Given a continuous linear cocycle A over a homeomorphism f of a compact metric space X, we investigate its set R of Lyapunov-Perron regular points, that is, the collection of trajectories of f that obey the conclusions of the Multiplicative…

Following [2], a Tychonoff space $X$ is Ascoli if every compact subset of $C_k(X)$ is equicontinuous. By the classical Ascoli theorem every $k$-space is Ascoli. We show that a strict $(LF)$-space $E$ is Ascoli iff $E$ is a Fr\'{e}chet space…

A topological space ${\mathcal X}$ is reversible iff each continuous bijection (condensation) $f: {\mathcal X} \rightarrow {\mathcal X}$ is a homeomorphism; weakly reversible iff whenever ${\mathcal Y}$ is a space and there are…

A classical Theorem of Alexandrov states that the map associating its boundary to a convex polyhdedron of the 3-dimensional Euclidean space is a bijection from the set of convex polyhdedron up to congruence to the set of isometry classes of…

In this paper we disprove the following conjectured generalization of the Contraction Mapping Theorem (due to J.D. Stein Jr.): Let X be a complete metric space and let F be a finite family of self-maps of X. Suppose there is a postive…

Fedorchuk's fully closed (continuous) maps and resolutions are applied in constructions of non-metrizable higher-dimensional analogues of Anderson, Choquet, and Cook's continua. Certain theorems on dimension-lowering maps are proved for…

The aim of this paper is to introduce an approach to the (strong) Novikov conjecture based on continuous families of finite dimensional representations: this is partly inspired by ideas of Lusztig using the Atiyah-Singer families index…

we prove that if $X$ is a locally compact $\sigma$-compact space then on its quotient, $\gamma(X)$ say, determined by the algebra of all real valued bounded continuous functions on $X$, the quotient topology and the completely regular…

A new construction of naturally reductive spaces is presented. This construction gives a large amount of new families of naturally reductive spaces. First the infinitesimal models of the new naturally reductive spaces are constructed. A…

We develop a structure theory for RCD spaces with curvature bounded above in Alexandrov sense. In particular, we show that any such space is a topological manifold with boundary whose interior is equal to the set of regular points. Further…

In this paper, we prove the following version of the famous Bernstein's theorem: Let $X\subset \mathbb R^{n+k}$ be a closed and connected set with Hausdorff dimension $n$. Assume that $X$ satisfies the monotonicity formula at $p\in X$.…

Given a compact Alexadrov $n$-space $Z$ with curvature curv $\ge \kappa$, and let $f: Z\to X$ be a distance non-increasing onto map to another Alexandrov $n$-space with curv $\ge \kappa$. The relative volume rigidity conjecture says that if…

Our main result states that the hyperspace of convex compact subsets of a compact convex subset $X$ in a locally convex space is an absolute retract if and only if $X$ is an absolute retract of weight $\le\omega_1$. It is also proved that…

We show that any stochastically monotone Feller semigroup on R can be extended by a consistent family of order-preserving Feller semigroups on the successive powers of R. We exhibit a specific such family, which is uniquely characterized by…

Suppose a sequence $M_j$ of Alexandrov spaces collapses to a space $X$ with only weak singularities. Yamaguchi constructed a map $f_j:M_j\to X$ called an almost Lipschitz submersion for large $j$. We prove that if $M_j$ has a uniform…

The paper deals with Ascoli spaces $C_p(X)$ and $C_k(X)$ over Tychonoff spaces $X$. The class of Ascoli spaces $X$, i.e. spaces $X$ for which any compact subset $K$ of $C_k(X)$ is evenly continuous, essentially includes the class of…
