Let $X$ be a compact, geodesically complete, locally CAT(0) space such that the universal cover admits a rank one axis. Assume $X$ is not homothetic to a metric graph with integer edge lengths. Let $P_t$ be the number of parallel classes of…

We have initiated the study of topology of the space of coverings on grid domains. The space has the following constraint: while all the covering agents can move freely (we allow overlapping) on the domain, their union must cover the whole…

We study branched covering spaces in several contexts, proving that under suitable circumstances the cover satisfies the same upper curvature bounds as the base space. The first context is of a branched cover of an arbitrary metric space…

We begin the study of completeness of affine connections, especially those on statistical manifolds as well as on affine hypersurfaces. We collect basic facts, prove new theorems and provide examples with remarkable properties.

In this note we study some properties of topological entropy for non-compact non-metrizable spaces. We prove that if a uniformly continuous self-map $f$ of a uniform space has topological shadowing property then the map $f$ has positive…

We study the topological structure and the topological dynamics of groups of homeomorphisms of scattered spaces. For a large class of them (including the homeomorphism group of any ordinal space or of any locally compact scattered space),…

We show that the topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets is compatible with the group law of the automorphism group of a large class of spaces that are endowed with both a uniform structure and a bornology, thus yielding numerous…

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…

We examine some kinds of discrete symmetries which are dynamically preserved, using the (generalized) Gowdy models of the first kind.

We study the global structure of Lorentzian manifolds with partial sectional curvature bounds. In particular, we prove completeness theorems for homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies as well as static spherically symmetric spacetimes. The…

In this paper, we try to generalize to the case of compact Riemannian orbifolds $Q$ some classical results about the existence of closed geodesics of positive length on compact Riemannian manifolds $M$. We shall also consider the problem of…

We establish some geometrical properties of the space of idempotent probability measures. In particular, for a compact $X$ it is established that if the space $I_{3}(X)\backslash X$ is hereditary normally, then $X$ is metrizable; some…

We study the geometry of cuspidal $S_k$ singularities in $\mathbb R^3$ obtained by folding generically a cuspidal edge. In particular we study the geometry of the cuspidal cross-cap $M$, i.e. the cuspidal $S_0$ singularity. We study…

In this paper, we develop the infinitesimal geometry of the limit spaces of compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary, where we assume lower bounds on the sectional curvatures of manifolds and boundaries and the second fundamental forms of…

Compact locally maximal hyperbolic sets are studied via geometrically defined functional spaces that take advantage of the smoothness of the map in a neighborhood of the hyperbolic set. This provides a self-contained theory that not only…

We establish topological regularity and stability of N-dimensional RCD(K,N) spaces (up to a small singular set), also called non-collapsed RCD(K,N) in the literature. We also introduce the notion of a boundary of such spaces and study its…

We prove that many completeness properties coincide in metric spaces, precompact groups and dense subgroups of products of separable metric groups. We apply these results to function spaces C_p(X,G) of G-valued continuous functions on a…

In this paper a systematic study of the category GTS of generalized topological spaces (in the sense of H. Delfs and M. Knebusch) and their strictly continuous mappings begins. Some completeness and cocompleteness results are achieved.…

We study groups of homeomorphic bijections on spaces that are finite unions of compact connected linearly ordered subsets. We prove that all such groups when endowed with the topology of point-wise convergence are topological groups. }

We investigate to what extend finite-dimensional homogeneous locally compact $ANR$-spaces have common properties with Euclidean manifolds. Specially, the local structure of homogeneous $ANR$-spaces is described. Using that description, we…
