Denote by Q(k) a \sigma-discrete metric weight-homogeneous space of weight k. We give an internal description of the space Q(k)^\omega. We prove that the Baire space B(k) is densely homogeneous with respect to Q(k)^\omega if k > \omega.…

A metric continuum $X$ is indecomposable if it cannot be put as the union of two of its proper subcontinua. A subset $R$ of $X$ is said to be continuumwise connected provided that for each pair of points $p,q\in R$, there exists a…

It is known that for $X$ a nowhere locally compact metric space, the set of bounded continuous, nowhere locally uniformly continuous real-valued functions on $X$ contains a dense $G_\delta$ set in the space $C_b(X)$ of all bounded…

We give necessary conditions for the existence of a compact manifold locally modelled on a given homogeneous space, which generalize some earlier results, in terms of relative Lie algebra cohomology. Applications include both reductive and…

For two not necessarily commutative topological groups G and T, let H(G,T) denote the space of all continuous homomorphisms from G to T with the compact-open topology. We prove that if G is metrizable and T is compact then H(G,T) is a…

Let X be a proper hyperbolic geodesic metric space and let G be a closed subgroup of the isometry group Iso(X) of X. We show that if G is not amenable then its second continuous bounded cohomology group with coefficients the regular…

In this paper, we consider spaces whose Higson coronae are indecomposable continua. We show that for a non-compact proper metric space $X$ which is coarsely geodesic and has coarse bounded geometry, the Higson corona of $X$ is an…

We investigate which definable separable metric spaces are countable dense homogeneous (CDH). We prove that a Borel CDH space is completely metrizable and give a complete list of zero-dimensional Borel CDH spaces. We also show that for a…

Let $M \subset X$ be a submanifold of a rational homogeneous space $X$ such that the normal sequence splits. We prove that $M$ is also rational homogeneous.

We prove that each coarsely homogenous separable metric space $X$ is coarsely equivalent to one of the spaces: the sigleton, the Cantor macro-cube or the Baire macro-space. This classification is derived from coarse characterizations of the…

A homogeneous Riemannian manifold $(M=G/K, g)$ is called a space with homogeneous geodesics or a $G$-g.o. space if every geodesic $\gamma (t)$ of $M$ is an orbit of a one-parameter subgroup of $G$, that is $\gamma(t) = \exp(tX)\cdot o$, for…

It is proved that for every compact metric space $K$ there exists a Banach space $X$ whose Calkin algebra $\mathcal{L}(X)/\mathcal{K}(X)$ is homomorphically isometric to $C(K)$. This is achieved by appropriately modifying the…

Let G be a locally compact group, and let U be its unitary representation on a Hilbert space H. Endow the space L(H) of linear bounded operators on H with weak operator topology. We prove that if U is a measurable map from G to L(H) then it…

A space $X$ is called a generalized Namioka space (g$\mathcal{N}$-space), if for every compact space $Y$ and every separately continuous function $f\colon X\times Y\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, there exists at least one point $x\in X$ such that…

Let (M,g) be a 3-dimensional compact connected real analytic Lorentz manifold and suppose that g is locally homogeneous on a non-empty open set in M (the pseudogroup of local isometries of g has an open orbit). Then we prove that g is…

It has been claimed by Halmos in [Comment on the real line, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., 50 (1944), 877-878] that if G is a Hausdorff locally compact topological abelian group and if the character group of G is torsion free then G is divisible.…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $H$ a closed subgroup of $G$. Suppose the homogeneous space $G/H$ is effective and has dimension 3 or higher. Consider a $G$-invariant, symmetric, positive-semidefinite, nonzero (0,2)-tensor…

Let \(G\) be a non-discrete, locally compact group with Haar measure \(m\). We prove that there exists a compact set \(K \subset G\) with \(m(K)=0\) such that \(KK^{-1}\) contains a neighborhood of the identity. Moreover, such a set may be…

A metric space M is homogeneous if every isometry between finite subsets extends to a surjective isometry defined on the whole space. We show that if M is an ultrametric space, it suffices that isometries defined on singletons extend, i.e…

All spaces are assumed to be separable and metrizable. Building on work of van Engelen, Harrington, Michalewski and Ostrovsky, we obtain the following results: (1) Every finite-dimensional analytic space is $\sigma$-homogeneous with…
