We study non-existence of non-constant regular maps from a partial flag variety $X=G/P$ to another partial flag variety $X'=G'/P'$ and prove that there does not exist any non-constant regular map from any partial non-complete flag variety…

We show that it is consistent relative to ZF, that there is no well-ordering of $\mathbb{R}$ while a wide class of special sets of reals such as Hamel bases, transcendence bases, Vitali sets or Bernstein sets exists. To be more precise, we…

We develop Descriptive Set Theory in Generalized Baire Spaces without assuming $\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa$. We point out that without this assumption the basic topological concepts of these spaces have to be slightly modified in order to…

Let $G$ be $Sl_n, Sp(2n)$ or SO(2n). We consider the moduli space $M$ of semistable principal $G$-bundles over a curve $X$. Our main result is that if $U$ is a Zariski open subset of $M$ then there is no universal bundle on $U\times X$.

We answer a question of Piotr Minc by proving that there is no compact metrizable space whose set of components contains a unique topological copy of every metrizable compactification of a ray (i.e. a half-open interval) with an arc (i.e.…

A general structure theorem on higher order invariants is proven. For an arithmetic group, the structure of the corresponding Hecke module is determined. It is shown that the module does not contain any irreducible submodule. This explains…

We show that for each algebraic space that is separated and of finite type over a field, and whose affinization is connected and reduced, there is a universal morphism to a para-abelian variety. The latter are schemes that acquire the…

Morphisms, structure preserving maps, are everywhere in Mathematics as useful tools for thinking and problem solving, or as objects to study. Here, we argue that the idea of operations being compatible across two domains goes beyond its…

We show that, consistently, there is a Borel set which has uncountably many pairwise very non-disjoint translations, but does not allow a perfect set of such translations.

In this paper, we consider the morphisms from projective spaces to flag varieties. We show that the morphisms can only be constant under some special conditions. As a consequence, we prove that the splitting types of unsplit uniform…

We show that every basis for the countable Borel equivalence relations strictly above $\mathbb{E}_0$ under measure reducibility is uncountable, thereby ruling out natural generalizations of the Glimm-Effros dichotomy. We also push many…

There is no bad group of Morley rank 2n+1 with an abelian Borel subgroup of Morley rank n. In particular, there is no bad group of Morley rank 3 (O. Fr{\'e}con).

Let $\kappa$ be an uncountable cardinal with $\kappa=\kappa^{{<}\kappa}$. Given a cardinal $\mu$, we equip the set ${}^\kappa\mu$ consisting of all functions from $\kappa$ to $\mu$ with the topology whose basic open sets consist of all…

We show that there is a set which is not a set of multiple recurrence despite being a set of recurrence for nil-Bohr sets. This answers Huang, Shao, and Ye's \enquote{higher-order} version of Katznelson's Question on Bohr recurrence and…

The underlying algebra for a noncommutative geometry is taken to be a matrix algebra, and the set of derivatives the adjoint of a subset of traceless matrices. This is sufficient to calculate the dual 1-forms, and show that the space of…

For every infinite graph $\Gamma$ we construct a non-Desarguesian projective plane $P^*_{\Gamma}$ of the same size as $\Gamma$ such that $Aut(\Gamma) \cong Aut(P^*_{\Gamma})$ and $\Gamma_1 \cong \Gamma_2$ iff $P^*_{\Gamma_1} \cong…

Building on the work of the fourth author in math.AG/9904074, we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field…

We study several classes of general non-linear positive maps between C*-algebras, which are not necessary completely positive maps. We characterize the class of the compositions of *-multiplicative maps and positive linear mapsas the class…

We study the homeomorphism types of certain covers of (always orientable) surfaces, usually of infinite-type. We show that every surface with non-abelian fundamental group is covered by every noncompact surface, we identify the universal…

A theorem of Picard's type is proved for entire holomorphic mappings into complex projective varieties. This theorem has local character in the sense that the existence of Julia directions can be proved under a natural additional…
