We identify a condition on X that guarantees that any finite power of X is homeomorphic to a subspace of a linearly ordered space

We prove that given a sequence of homeomorphisms $f_k: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}^n$ convergent in $W^{1,p}(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^n)$, $p \geq 1$ for $n =2$ and $p > n-1$ for $n \geq 3$, to a homeomorphism $f$ which maps sets of measure zero onto…

We show that, up to Morita equivalence, any finite-dimensional algebra with a suitable homological system, admits an exact Borel subalgebra. This generalizes a theorem by Koenig, K\"ulshammer and Ovsienko, which holds for quasi-hereditary…

Let $M$ be a connected compact orientable surface, $f:M\to \mathbb{R}$ be a Morse function, and $h:M\to M$ be a diffeomorphism which preserves $f$ in the sense that $f\circ h = f$. We will show that if $h$ leaves invariant each regular…

A function $F:2^\omega\to 2^\omega$ is an $E_0$-isomorphism if for all $x,y\in 2^\omega$, we have $xE_0y\iff f(x)E_0 f(y)$, where $xE_0y\iff(\exists a)(\forall n\ge b) x(n)=y(n)$. If such witnesses $a$ for $xE_0 y$ and for $f(x)E_0 f(y)$…

The well-known Bohr--P\'al theorem asserts that for every continuous real-valued function $f$ on the circle $\mathbb T$ there exists a change of variable, i.e., a homeomorphism $h$ of $\mathbb T$ onto itself, such that the Fourier series of…

For every filter $\mathcal F$ on $\mathbb N$, we introduce and study corresponding uniform $\mathcal F$-boundedness principles for locally convex topological vector spaces. These principles generalise the classical uniform boundedness…

An investigation of morphisms that coincide topologically is used to generalize to all characteristics and partly reprove Tamagawa's theorem on the Grothendieck conjecture in anabelian geometry for affine hyperbolic curves. The theorem now…

We prove that each non-separable completely metrizable convex subset of a Frechet space is homeomorphic to a Hilbert space. This resolves an old (more than 30 years) problem of infinite-dimensional topology. Combined with the topological…

An ultrafilter $p$ on $\omega$ is said to be discrete if, given any function $f\colon \omega \to X$ to any completely regular Hausdorff space, there is an $A \in p$ such that $f(A)$ is discrete. Basic properties of discrete ultrafilters are…

We provide an extension of Obata's theorem to Finsler geometry and establish some rigidity results based on a second order differential equation. Mainly, we prove that every complete connected Finsler manifold of positive constant flag…

Let $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb R^2$ be a domain and let $f\in W^{1,1}(\Omega,\mathbb R^2)$ be a homeomorphism (between $\Omega$ and $f(\Omega)$). Then there exists a sequence of smooth diffeomorphisms $f_k$ converging to $f$ in…

We give a characterizations of Ramsey ultrafilters on $\mathscr P(\omega)$ in terms of functions $f:\omega^n\to\omega$ and their ultrafilter extensions. To do this, we prove that for any partition $\mathcal P$ of $[\omega]^n$ there is a…

In the year 1968 N.V. Efimov has proven the following remarkable theorem: \textit{Let $f:\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R^2\in C^1$ be such that $\det f'(x)<0$ for all $x\in\mathbb R^2$ and let there exist a function $a=a(x)>0$ and constants…

We give a new proof of a theorem by Le Gall & Paulin, showing that scaling limits of random planar quadrangulations are homeomorphic to the 2-sphere. The main geometric tool is a reinforcement of the notion of Gromov-Hausdorff convergence,…

We prove that if f is an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of a closed orientable surface M whose singular set is totally disconnected, then f is topologically conjugate to a conformal transformation.

We prove a result analogous to Reeb's theorem in the context of Morse-Bott functions: if a closed, smooth manifold $M$ admits a Morse-Bott function having two critical submanifolds $S^k$ and $S^l$ ($k \neq l$), then $M$ has dimension…

A homeomorphism of a compact metric space is {\em tight} provided every non-degenerate compact connected (not necessarily invariant) subset carries positive entropy. It is shown that every $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphism of a closed surface…

We give a proof of the Neilsen-Thurston classification theorem of a homeomorphism f of a standard surface of finite type as either periodic, pseudo-Anosov, or reducible. In the periodic case, we show that there exists an integer n>0 such…

We classify the total spaces of bundles over the four sphere with fiber a three sphere up to orientation preserving and reversing homotopy equivalence, homeomorphism and diffeomorphism. These total spaces have been of interest to both…
