We consider Riemann surfaces obtained from nodal curves with infinite cylinders in the place of nodal and marked points, and study the space of finite energy vortices defined on these surfaces. To compactify the space of vortices, we need…

We prove a comparison theorem between the \'etale cohomology of algebraic varieties over Stein compacta and the singular cohomology of their analytifications. We deduce that the field of meromorphic functions in a neighborhood of a…

This paper addresses the Asplund property for the space of continuous functions $C_k(X)$ equipped with the compact-open topology, when $X$ is an arbitrary Tychonoff space. Motivated by inconsistent definitions in prior literature extending…

We prove that the existence of a selective ultrafilter implies the existence of a countably compact Hausdorff group topology on the free Abelian group of size continuum. As a consequence, we show that the existence of a selective…

We generalize the definition of topological entropy given by Adler, Konheim, and McAndrew (AKM) for piecewise continuous self-maps defined on a compact interval (pc-maps). For this notion of entropy, we prove that the properties of the…

For $G$ a topological group, existence theorems by Milnor (1956), Gelfand-Fuks (1968), and Segal (1975) of classifying spaces for principal $G$-bundles are generalized to $G$-spaces with torsion. Namely, any $G$-space approximately covered…

We give a geometric interpretation of the maximal Satake compactification of symmetric spaces $X=G/K$ of noncompact type, showing that it arises by attaching the horofunction boundary for a suitable $G$-invariant Finsler metric on $X$. As…

We introduce the notion of an introverted Boolean algebra $\cal B$ of closed-and-open subsets of a topological group $G$, show that the associated Stone space $(\nu_{\cal B} G, \nu_{\cal B})$ is a totally disconnected semigroup…

Stone duality is an indispensable tool for the study of compact, zero-dimensional, Hausdorff spaces. In the case of general compact Hausdorff spaces one can get quite a bit of mileage by considering the `Wallman duality' between compact…

We define a compactification of symmetric spaces of noncompact type, seen as spaces of isometry classes of marked lattices, analogous to the Thurston compactification of the Teichm\"uller space, and we show that it is equivariantly…

For a $C_0(X)$-algebra $A$, we study $C(K)$-algebras $B$ that we regard as compactifications of $A$, generalising the notion of (the algebra of continuous functions on) a compactification of a completely regular space. We show that $A$…

In equivariant geometry, a localization (a.k.a., concentration) theorem is typically interpreted as a relationship between the equivariant geometry of a space with a group action and the geometry of its fixed locus. We take a different…

Denote by $\mathbf C_k[\mathfrak M]$ the $C_k$-stable closure of the class $\mathfrak M$ of all metrizable spaces, i.e., $\mathbf C_k[\mathfrak M]$ is the smallest class of topological spaces that contains $\mathfrak M$ and is closed under…

In the absence of the Axiom of Choice, necessary and sufficient conditions for a locally compact Hausdorff space to have all non-empty second-countable compact Hausdorff spaces as remainders are given in $\mathbf{ZF}$. Among other…

In 2011, the first author introduced (relative) Riemann-Zariski spaces corresponding to a morphism of schemes and established their basic properties. In this paper we clarify that theory and extend it to morphisms between algebraic spaces.…

This paper achieves, among other things, the following: 1)It frees the main result of [BFKM] from the hypothesis of determinant class and extends this result from unitary to arbitrary representations. 2)It extends (and at the same times…

It is proved that for any $0<\beta<\alpha$, any bounded Ahlfors $\alpha$-regular space contains a $\beta$-regular compact subset that embeds biLipschitzly in an ultrametric with distortion at most $O(\alpha/(\alpha-\beta))$. The bound on…

In this paper, we generalize the original idea of Thurston for the so called Mather-Thurston's theorem for foliated bundles to prove new variants of this theorem for PL homeomorphisms, contactormorphisms. These versions answer questions…

We prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum…
