We show that a compact Riemannian manifold with weakly 1/4-pinched sectional curvatures is either locally symmetric or diffeomorphic to a space form.

It is well known that a strictly convex minimand admits at most one minimizer. We prove a partial converse: Let $X$ be a locally convex Hausdorff space and $f \colon X \mapsto \left( - \infty , \infty \right]$ a function with compact…

The compact Hausdorff space X has the Complex Stone-Weierstrass Property (CSWP) iff it satisfies the complex version of the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem. W. Rudin showed that all scattered spaces have the CSWP. We describe some techniques for…

Let D be a self-adjoint differential operator of Dirac type acting on sections in a vector bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold M. Let H be a closed D-invariant subspace of the Hilbert space of square integrable sections. Suppose D…

It is known since the late 1960's that the dual of the category of compact Hausdorff spaces and continuous maps is a variety -- not finitary, but bounded by $\aleph_1$. In this note we show that the dual of the category of partially ordered…

Let $D$ be a non-pseudoconvex open set in $\C^3$ and $S$ be the union of all two-dimensional planes with non-empty and non-pseudoconvex intersection with $D.$ Sufficient conditions are given for $\C^3\setminus S$ to belong to a complex…

We introduce a new topological property called (*) and the corresponding class of topological spaces, which includes spaces with $G_\delta$-diagonals and Gruenhage spaces. Using (*), we characterise those Banach spaces which admit…

We investigate weak$^*$ derived sets, that is the sets of weak$^*$ limits of bounded nets, of convex subsets of duals of non-reflexive Banach spaces and their possible iterations. We prove that a dual space of any non-reflexive Banach space…

Weak almost contact manifolds, i.e., the linear complex structure on the contact distribution is approximated by a nonsingular skew-symmetric tensor, defined by the author and R. Wolak (2022), allowed a new look at the theory of contact…

A space is od-compact (resp. od-Lindel\"of) provided any cover by open dense sets has a finite (resp. countable) subcover. We first show with simple examples that these properties behave quite poorly under finite or countable unions. We…

We characterize those compact Hausdorff spaces K such that the proyective tensor product of C(K) by itself has the Dunford-Pettis Property, answering thus in the negative a question posed by Castillo and Gonzalez.

Heinrich Tietze has shown that for a closed connected subset of euclidean space being convex is a local property. We generalize this to CAT(0)-spaces and locally compact CAT(\kappa) spaces. As an application we give a construction of…

We prove tight upper bounds for the number of vertices of a simple polygon that is the union or the intersection of two simple polygons with given numbers of convex and concave vertices. The similar question on graphs of the lower (or…

It is shown that the dual $\hat{A}$ of a separable $C^{\ast}$-algebra $A$ is discrete if and only if its Banach space dual has the weak$^{\ast}$-fixed point property. We prove further that these properties are equivalent to the uniform…

We investigate the set of maximally mixed states of a C*-algebra, extending previous work by Alberti on von Neumann algebras. We show that, unlike for von Neumann algebras, the set of maximally mixed states of a C*-algebra may fail to be…

We investigate weak approximation away from a finite set of places for a class of biquadratic fourfolds inside $\mathbb{P}^3 \times \mathbb{P}^2$, some of which appear in the recent work of Hassett--Pirutka--Tschinkel.

Reflexive cones in Banach spaces are cones with weakly compact intersection with the unit ball. In this paper we study the structure of this class of cones. We investigate the relations between the notion of reflexive cones and the…

A topological space is said to be sequential if every sequentially closed subspace is closed. We consider Banach spaces with weak*-sequential dual ball. In particular, we show that if $X$ is a Banach space with weak*-sequentially compact…

In this paper, we obtain optimal $L^2$ extension of holomorphic sections of a holomorphic vector bundle from subvarieties in weakly pseudoconvex K\"{a}hler manifolds. Moreover, in the case of line bundle the Hermitian metric is allowed to…

A finitely presented group is weakly geometrically simply connected (wgsc) if it is the fundamental group of some compact polyhedron whose universal covering is wgsc i.e. it has an exhaustion by compact connected and simply connected…
