Let $X(\Delta)$ be the real toric variety associated to a smooth fan $\Delta$. The main purpose of this article is: (i) to determine the fundamental group and the universal cover of $X(\Delta)$, (ii) to give necessary and sufficient…

Let $X$ be a topological space. A subset of $C(X)$, the space of continuous real-valued functions on $X$, is a partially ordered set in the pointwise order. Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are topological spaces, and $A(X)$ and $A(Y)$ are subsets…

We study the homotopy groups of the geometric fixed points of the real topological cyclic homology of $\mathbb{Z}/4$. We relate these groups to the values of the non-abelian derived functors of the functor $M \mapsto (M…

Let $X$ be a differentiable manifold endowed with a transitive action $\alpha:A\times X\longrightarrow X$ of a Lie group $A$. Let $K$ be a Lie group. Under suitable technical assumptions, we give explicit classification theorems, in terms…

We show that the topological complexity of an aspherical space $X$ is bounded below by the cohomological dimension of the direct product $A\times B$, whenever $A$ and $B$ are subgroups of $\pi_1(X)$ whose conjugates intersect trivially. For…

Let $\mathcal M_X$ denote the ideal of meager subsets of a topological space $X$. We prove that if $X$ is a completely metrizable space without isolated points, then the smallest cardinality of a non-meager subset of $X$, denoted…

By definition, the sharp packing index $\ind_P^\sharp(A)$ of a subset $A$ of an abelian group $G$ is the smallest cardinal $\kappa$ such that for any subset $B\subset G$ of size $|B|\ge\kappa$ the family $\{b+A:b\in B\}$ is not disjoint. We…

In this paper, it is shown that a topological space $X$ is compact iff every maximal ideal of the power set ring $\mathcal{P}(X)$ converges to exactly one point of $X$. Then as an application, simple and ring-theoretic proofs are provided…

Consider the real free Lie algebra $\mathfrak{fr}_n$ with generators $\omega_1$, \dots, $\omega_n$. Since it is positively graded, it has a completion $\overline{\mathfrak{fr}}_n$ consisting of formal series. By the Campbell--Hausdorff…

Let $X$ be a normal noetherian scheme and $Z \subseteq X$ a closed subset of codimension $\geq 2$. We consider here the local obstructions to the map $\hat{\pi}_{1}(X\backslash Z) \to \hat{\pi}_{1}(X)$ being an isomorphism. Assuming $X$ has…

Given topological spaces X and Y, a fundamental problem of algebraic topology is understanding the structure of all continuous maps X -> Y . We consider a computational version, where X, Y are given as finite simplicial complexes, and the…

We introduce and analyse a general notion of fundamental group for noncommutative spaces, described by differential graded algebras. For this we consider connections on finitely generated projective bimodules over differential graded…

We examine the first non-vanishing higher homotopy group, $\pi_p$, of the complement of a hypersolvable, non--supersolvable, complex hyperplane arrangement, as a module over the group ring of the fundamental group, $\Z\pi_1$. We give a…

Recently there has been growing interest in discrete homotopies and homotopies of graphs beyond treating graphs as 1-dimensional simplicial spaces. One such type of homotopy is $\times$-homotopy. Recent work by Chih-Scull has developed a…

We show that for any metric space $M$ satisfying certain natural conditions, there is a finitely generated group $G$, an ultrafilter $\omega $, and an isometric embedding $\iota $ of $M$ to the asymptotic cone ${\rm Cone}_\omega (G)$ such…

By a characterization of semiprime $SA$-rings by Birkenmeier, Ghirati and Taherifar in \cite[Theorem 4.4]{B}, and by the topological characterization of $C(X)$ as a Baer-ring by Stone and Nakano in \cite[Theorem 3.25]{KM}, it is easy to see…

Our aim is to study certain algebraic properties of the ring $C(X)_\mathcal{P}$ of real-valued functions on $X$ whose closure of discontinuity set is in an ideal of closed sets. We characterize $\mathcal{P}P$-spaces using $z$-ideals and…

For $C/\mathbb{Q}_p$ complete and algebraically closed, we show that the de Jong fundamental group $\pi_{1,\mathrm{dJ}}(\mathbb{P}^1_C)$ depends on $C$ and, if $C$ has cardinality $>2^{\mathbb{N}}$, that it is not topologically countably…

Topological groups whose underlying spaces are basically disconnected, $F$-, or $F'$-spaces but not $P$-spaces are considered. It is proved, in particular, that the existence of a Lindel\"of basically disconnected topological group which is…

A topological theorem that appears in a paper by Deligne-Goncharov (and which they attribute to Beilinson) states the following. Let $(X,*)$ be a path connected pointed space with a reasonable topology and denote by $I$ the augmentation…
