We formulate a conjecture that arithmetic locally symmetric manifolds have simple homotopy type, and prove it for the non-compact case. More precisely, we show that, for any symmetric space S of non-compact type without Euclidean de Rham…

We study the semigroup extension $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n(S)$ of a semigroup $S$ by symmetric inverse semigroups of a bounded finite rank. We describe idempotents and regular elements of the semigroups $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n(S)$ and…

In this paper we present general techniques for characterising minimal and maximal semigroup topologies on the endomorphism monoid $\operatorname{End}(\mathbb{A})$ of a countable relational structure $\mathbb{A}$. As applications, we show…

In many applications it is important to establish if a given topological preordered space has a topology and a preorder which can be recovered from the set of continuous isotone functions. Under antisymmetry this property, also known as…

Various spaces of symmetries of a structure are naturally endowed with both an algebraic and a topological structure. For example, the automorphism group of a structure is, on top of being a group, a topological group when equipped with the…

We construct a locally compact Hausdorff topology on the path space of a finitely aligned $k$-graph $\Lambda$. We identify the boundary-path space $\partial\Lambda$ as the spectrum of a commutative $C^*$-subalgebra $D_\Lambda$ of…

We construct a locally compact groupoid with the properties in the title. Our example is based closely on constructions used by Higson, Lafforgue, and Skandalis in their work on counterexamples to the Baum-Connes conjecture. It is a bundle…

This note is devoted to the study of the homology class of a compact Poisson transversal in a Poisson manifold. For specific classes of Poisson structures, such as unimodular Poisson structures and Poisson manifolds with closed leaves, we…

While topology given by a linear order has been extensively studied, this cannot be said about the case when the order is given only locally. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap. We consider relation between local orderability and…

Steenrod homotopy theory is a framework for doing algebraic topology on general spaces in terms of algebraic topology of polyhedra; from another viewpoint, it studies the topology of the lim^1 functor (for inverse sequences of groups). This…

Magill proved that the remainders of two locally compact Hausdorff spaces in their StoneCech compactifications are homeomorphic if and only if the lattices of their Hausdorff compactifications are lattice isomorphic. His construction for…

We introduce a natural generalization of the definition of a symmetric Hopf algebroid, internal to any symmetric monoidal category with coequalizers that commute with the monoidal product. Motivation for this is the study of Heisenberg…

We investigate periodic diffeomorphisms of non-compact aspherical manifolds (and orbifolds) and describe a class of spaces that have no homotopically trivial periodic diffeomorphisms. Prominent examples are moduli spaces of curves and…

We show there exists a closed locally symmetric manifold $M$ modeled on $SL_n(\mathbb R)/SO(n)$, and a non-trivial homology class in degree $dim(M)-rank(M)$ represented by a totally geodesic submanifold that contains a circle factor. As a…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system with Davis complex $\Sigma$. The polyhedral automorphism group $G$ of $\Sigma$ is a locally compact group under the compact-open topology. If $G$ is a discrete group (as characterised by Haglund--Paulin),…

We prove that each isometric isomorphism, between the monoids of all nonegative 1-Lipschitz maps defined on invariant metric groups and equiped with the inf-convolution law, is given canonically from an isometric isomorphism between their…

We prove that for infinite, countable, compact, Hausdorff spaces $K,L$, $C(K)\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(L)$ is isomorphic to exactly one of the spaces $C(\omega^{\omega^\xi})\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(\omega^{\omega^\zeta})$, $0\leqslant…

Within a subclass of monoids (with zero) a structural characterization is given of those that are associated to topologically transitive subshifts with Property (A).

After 1-point compactification, the collection of all unordered configuration spaces of a manifold admits a commutative multiplication by superposition of configurations. We explain a simple (derived) presentation for this commutative…

We introduce the notion of measurable bounded cohomology for measured groupoids, extending continuous bounded cohomology of locally compact groups. We show that the measurable bounded cohomology of the semidirect groupoid associated to a…
