We classify non-reductive four-dimensional homogeneous conformally Einstein manifolds.

In a countably normed space which is a linear space equipped with a countable number of pair-wise compatible norms, we prove the existence of a common nearest point (in all norms) from a point outside a nonempty subset if this subset is…

In this paper, we firstly character the structures of symmetries $J$ such that a projection $P$ is $J$-contractive. Then the minimal and maximal elements of the symmetries $J$ with $P^{\ast}JP\leqslant J$(or $JP\geqslant0)$ are given.…

We present a topological characterization of LF-spaces and detect small box-products that are (locally) homeomorphic to LF-spaces.

For each countable ordinal $\alpha$, we introduce an ideal $conv_\alpha$ and use it to characterize the class of all compact countable spaces which are homeomorphic to the space $\omega^{\alpha}\cdot n+1$ with the order topology. The…

We prove a result that enables us to calculate the rational homotopy of a wide class of spaces by the theory of minimal models.

We construct non-trapping asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with boundary conjugate points but no interior conjugate points.

We characterize the first min-max width of real projective spaces of any dimension. The width is the minimum area over the Clifford hypersurfaces. We also compute the Morse index of the Clifford hypersurfaces in the complex and quaternionic…

In this paper we look at the notion of cohomological triviality of fibrations of homogeneous spaces of affine algebraic groups defined over $\mathbb{C}$ and use topological methods, primarily the theory of covering spaces. This is made…

We show that a homotopy equivalence between two non-compact orientable surfaces is homotopic to a homeomorphism if and only if it preserves the Goldman bracket, provided our surfaces are neither the plane nor the punctured plane.

By making use of the symplectic reduction and the cohomogeneity method, we give a general method for constructing Hamiltonian minimal submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds with symmetries. As applications, we construct infinitely many…

We verify that for a finite simplicial complex $X$ and for piecewise linear loops on $X$, the "thin" loop space is a topological group of the same homotopy type as the space of continuous loops. This turns out not to be the case for the…

We completely solve the problem whether the product of two compact metric spaces admitting minimal maps also admits a minimal map. Recently Boro\'nski, Clark and Oprocha gave a negative answer in the particular case when homeomorphisms…

In a recent paper \cite{T} the fact that a class of locally compact metric spaces $X$, among which are Euclidean spaces, are not homemorphic to their punctured version $X\men\{p\}$, was given an interesting new proof which does not use…

We give examples of harmonic maps between negatively curved manifolds with special properties. These negatively curved manifolds do not have the homotopy type of a locally symmetric space.

We show that dp-minimal valued fields are henselian and that a dp-minimal field admitting a definable type V topology is either real closed, algebraically closed or admits a non-trivial definable henselian valuation. We give classifications…

We consider the configuration space of planar $n$-gons with fixed perimeter, which is diffeomorphic to the complex projective space $\mathbb{C}P^{n-2}$. The oriented area function has the minimal number of critical points on the…

In this paper we analyze the relationship between o-minimal structures and the notion of \omega -saturated one dimensional t.t.t structures. We prove that if removing any point from such a structure splits it into more than one definably…

The notion of a contractible transformation on a graph was introduced by Ivashchenko as a means to study molecular spaces arising from digital topology and computer image analysis, and more recently has been applied to topological data…

For a separable locally compact but not compact metrizable space $X$, let $\alpha X = X \cup \{x_\infty\}$ be the one-point compactification with the point at infinity $x_\infty$. We denote by $EM(X)$ the space consisting of admissible…
