In the present article, modeling certain rational numbers, that are represented in terms of Cantor series, are described. The statements on relations between digits in the representations of rational numbers by Cantor series (for the case…
We show in detail that every compact countable subset of a metric space is homeomorphic to a countable ordinal number, which extends a result given by Mazurkiewicz and Sierpinski for finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces. In order to achieve…
In a famous paper, R. A. Gordon proved a dozen theorems using tagged partitions and Cousin's theorem. The purpose of this paper is to present several classical results using the key-lemma underlying Cousin's theorem.
We prove a topological version of the section conjecture for the profinite completion of the fundamental group of finite CW-complexes equipped with the action of a group of prime order $p$ whose $p$-torsion cohomology can be killed by…
We consider the problem of approaching real numbers with rational numbers with prime denominator and with a single numerator allowed for each denominator. We obtain basic results, both probabilistic and deterministic, draw connections to…
The purpose of this paper is to show that the multiplicities of a discrete series representation relatively to a compact subgroup can be "computed" geometrically, in the way predicted by the "qantization commutes with reduction" principle…
In this paper we present a few properties of $K$-partitions, which are partitions of Baire spaces such that all subfamilies of such a partition sum to a set with the Baire property. Among the result proven we have general existence result…
The concept of convex compactness, weaker than the classical notion of compactness, is introduced and discussed. It is shown that a large class of convex subsets of topological vector spaces shares this property and that is can be used in…
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 explain by elementary means why the existence of a discrete series representation of a real reductive group $G$ implies the existence of a compact Cartan subgroup of $G$. The presented approach has the potential to generalize to real…
We show that the possible Cantor-Bendixson ranks of countable SFTs are exactly the finite ordinals and ordinals of the form $\lambda + 3$, where $\lambda$ is a computable ordinal. This result was claimed by the author in his PhD…
Let $P$ be a non-torsion point on an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$ and consider the sequence $\{B_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of the denominators of $x(nP)$. We prove that every term of the sequence of the $B_n$ has a primitive…
We prove in constructive logic that the statement of the Cantor-Bernstein theorem implies excluded middle. This establishes that the Cantor-Bernstein theorem can only be proven assuming the full power of classical logic. The key ingredient…
On a finite structure, the polymorphism invariant relations are exactly the primitively positively definable relations. On infinite structures, these two sets of relations are different in general. Infinitary primitively positively…
We review results concerning homogeneous compacta and discuss some open questions. It is established that indecomposable continua are Alexandroff (resp., Mazurkiewicz, or strong Cantor) manifolds with respect to the class of all continua.…
It is proved that the class of separable Rosenthal compacta on the Cantor set having a uniformly bounded dense sequence of continuous functions, is strongly bounded.
In this paper, we show that the existence of certain first-countable compact-like extensions is equivalent to the equality between corresponding cardinal characteristics of the continuum. For instance, $\mathfrak b=\mathfrak s=\mathfrak c$…
There exists a d-minimal expansion of the $\mathbb R$-vector space over $\mathbb R$ which defines every sequence. In this paper, we prove this assertion and the following more general assertion: Let $\mathcal R$ be either the ordered…
We introduce the notion of compactifiable classes -- these are classes of metrizable compact spaces that can be up to homeomorphic copies ``disjointly combined'' into one metrizable compact space. This is witnessed by so-called compact…
We construct homeomorphisms of compacta from relations between finite graphs representing their open covers. Applied to the pseudoarc, this yields simple Fra\"iss\'e theoretic proofs of several important results, both old and new.…
