We prove that the mapping stack Map(Y,X) of topological stacks X and Y is again a topological stack if Y admits a compact groupoid presentation. If Y admits a locally compact groupoid presentation, we show that Map(Y,X) is a paratopological…

Let $C$ be a convex subset of a locally convex space. We provide optimal approximate fixed point results for sequentially continuous maps $f\colon C\to\bar{C}$. First we prove that if $f(C)$ is totally bounded, then it has an approximate…

Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are surfaces of finite topological type, where $X$ has genus $g\geq 6$ and $Y$ has genus at most $2g-1$; in addition, suppose that $Y$ is not closed if it has genus $2g-1$. Our main result asserts that every…

We completely classify the orientable infinite-type surfaces $S$ such that $\operatorname{PMap}(S)$, the pure mapping class group, has automatic continuity. This classification includes surfaces with noncompact boundary. In the case of…

It is a well-known and elementary fact that a holomorphic function on a compact complex manifold without boundary is necessarily constant. The purpose of the present article is to investigate whether, or to what extent, a similar property…

Let $f$ be a piecewise continuous and monotonic map on the interval with at most finitely many discontinuities and turning points. In this paper we study properties about this class of maps and show its main difference from the continuous…

For any Tychonoff space $X$ let $C_p(X)$ (resp., $C^*_p(X)$) be the set of all continuous (resp., and bounded) functions on $X$ with the pointwise convergence topology. Given Tychonoff spaces $X$ and $Y$, Uspenskij \cite{us} proved that if…

In the study of holomorphic maps, the term "rigidity" refers to certain types of results that give us very specific information about a general class of holomorphic maps owing to the geometry of their domains or target spaces. Under this…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is said to be a {\it weakly Gibson function} if $f(\overline{U})\subseteq \overline{f(U)}$ for any open connected set \mbox{$U\subseteq X$}. We prove that if $X$ is a locally connected…

In this paper we prove that for a compact space $X$ inclusion $P_{f}(X)\in ANR$ holds if and only if $X\in ANR$. Further, it is shown that the functor $P_{f}$ preserves property of a compact to be $Q$-manifold or a Hilbert cube, properties…

The concept of topological persistence, introduced recently in computational topology, finds applications in studying a map in relation to the topology of its domain. Since its introduction, it has been extended and generalized in various…

We study a natural generalization of covering projections defined in terms of unique lifting properties. A map $p:E\to X$ has the "continuous path-covering property" if all paths in $X$ lift uniquely and continuously (rel. basepoint) with…

We give a bijective correspondence between the number of nilpotent matrices over a Boolean semiring and the number of directed acyclic graphs on ordered vertices. We then enumerate pairs of maps between two finite sets whose composites are…

If we consider a sequence of warped product length spaces, what conditions on the sequence of warping functions implies compactness of the sequence of distance functions? In particular, we want to know when a subsequence converges to a well…

The theory of polynomial-like maps is of fundamental importance in holomorphic dynamics. We study dynamical properties of a larger class of maps. Our main result is that, under some natural conditions, a map of this class has a completely…

Persistent homology analysis provides means to capture the connectivity structure of data sets in various dimensions. On the mathematical level, by defining a metric between the objects that persistence attaches to data sets, we can…

Motivated by persistent homology and topological data analysis, we consider formal sums on a metric space with a distinguished subset. These formal sums, which we call persistence diagrams, have a canonical 1-parameter family of metrics…

In this article we consider area preserving diffeomorphisms of planar domains, and we are interested in their conformal points, i.e., points at which the derivative is a similarity. We present some conditions that guarantee existence of…

We define a notion of stable and measurable map between cones endowed with measurability tests and show that it forms a cpo-enriched cartesian closed category. This category gives a denotational model of an extension of PCF supporting the…

We show that if there exists a topologically expansive homeomorphism on a uniform space, then the space is always a regular space. Through examples we show that in general composition of topologically expansive homeomorphisms need not be…
