The main result of this article is: THEOREM. Every homogeneous locally conical connected separable metric space that is not a $1$-manifold is strongly $n$-homogeneous for each $n \geq 2$ and countable dense homogeneous. Furthermore,…
In 1971, Davies proved that finitely many parallel line segments can be simultaneously fully rotated in an arbitrarily small area. In this paper we show that an even stronger statement holds: The unit square can be fully rotated in such a…
A map between operator spaces is called completely coarse if the sequence of its amplifications is equi-coarse. We prove that all completely coarse maps must be $\mathbb R$-linear. On the opposite direction of this result, we introduce a…
The super-algebraic structure of a generalized version of the Jaynes-Cummings model is investigated. We find that a Z2 graded extension of the so(2,1) Lie algebra is the underlying symmetry of this model. It is isomorphic to the…
The coarse similarity class $[A]$ of $A$ is the set of all $B$ whose symmetric difference with $A$ has asymptotic density 0. There is a natural metric $\delta$ on the space $\mathcal{S}$ of coarse similarity classes defined by letting…
A set of locally finite perimeter $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is called an anisotropic minimal surface in an open set $A$ if $\Phi(E;A) \le \Phi(F;A)$ for some surface energy $\Phi(E;A) = \int_{\partial^{*}E \cap A} \| \nu_{E}\| d…
We consider the space of probability measures on a discrete set $X$, endowed with a dynamical optimal transport metric. Given two probability measures supported in a subset $Y \subseteq X$, it is natural to ask whether they can be connected…
The physical equivalence of Einstein and Jordan frame in Scalar Tensor theories has been explained by Dicke in 1962: they are related by a local transformation of units. We discuss this point in a cosmological framework. Our main result is…
According to a folklore characterization of supercompact spaces, a compact Hausdorff space is supercompact if and only if it has a binary closed $k$-network. This characterization suggests to call a topological space $super$ if it has a…
Richmond and Richmond (American Mathematical Monthly 104 (1997), 713--719) proved the following theorem: If, in a metric space with at least five points, all triangles are degenerate, then the space is isometric to a subset of the real…
Monin and Rana conjectured a set of equations defining the image of the moduli space $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ under an embedding into $\mathbb{P}^1\times \cdots\times \mathbb{P}^{n-3}$ due to Keel and Tevelev and verified the conjecture for $n\leq…
Let $F\in W^{1,n}_{\text{loc}}(\Omega; \Bbb R^n)$ be a mapping with nonnegative Jacobian $J_F(x)=\det DF(x)\ge 0$ for a.e. $x$ in a domain $\Omega\subset\Bbb R^n$. The {\it dilatation} of $F$ is defined (almost everywhere in $\Omega$) by…
Schweizer, Sklar and Thorp proved in 1960 that a Menger space $(G,D,T)$ under a continuous $t$-norm $T$, induce a natural topology $\tau$ wich is metrizable. We extend this result to any probabilistic metric space $(G,D,\star)$ provided…
For any integers $d, n \geq 2$ and $1/({\min\{n,d\}})^{0.4999} < \varepsilon<1$, we show the existence of a set of $n$ vectors $X\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ such that any embedding $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$ satisfying $$ \forall x,y\in X,\…
A topological space $X$ is said to be {\em $Y$-rigid} if any continuous map $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is constant. In this paper we construct a number of examples of regular countably compact $\mathbb R$-rigid spaces with additional properties…
Mirror symmetry, a phenomenon in superstring theory, has recently been used to give tentative calculations of several numbers in algebraic geometry. In this paper, the numbers of lines and conics on various hypersurfaces which satisfy…
If F is a type-definable family of commensurable subsets, subgroups or sub-vector spaces in a metric structure, then there is an invariant subset, subgroup or sub-vector space commensurable with F. This in particular applies to…
Given a Tychonoff space $X$, we call a sequence $\langle\mu_n\colon n\in\omega\rangle$ of signed Borel measures on $X$ a finitely supported Josefson--Nissenzweig sequence (in short a JN-sequence) if: 1) for every $n\in\omega$ the measure…
The \emph{Stanley--Yan} (SY) \emph{inequality} gives the ultra-log-concavity for the numbers of bases of a matroid which have given sizes of intersections with $k$ fixed disjoint sets. The inequality was proved by Stanley (1981) for regular…
We give a simple deduction of a recent theorem of D. Ryabogin and V. Yaskin, about detecting symmetry of star bodies in ${\Bbb{R}}^n$ with $C^1$ radial functions --- via their conical section functions --- from an older theorem of us.
