We prove an equivariant version of the classical Menger-Nobeling theorem regarding topological embeddings: Whenever a group $G$ acts on a finite-dimensional compact metric space $X$, a generic continuous equivariant function from $X$ into…

We explore the relationship between Turing completeness and topological entropy of dynamical systems. We first prove that a natural class of Turing machines that we call "branching Turing machines" (which includes most of the known examples…

Inspired by the recent work of Glasner, Huang, Shao, Weiss and Ye, we prove that the maximal $\infty$-step pro-nilfactor $X_\infty$ of a minimal system $(X,T)$ is the topological characteristic factor along polynomials in a certain sense.…

We prove that the inclusion of map(X,Y) into map(K(X),K(Y)) is continuous, where K(X) is the space of non-empty compact subsets of X (also known as the hyperspace of compact subsets of X), and both spaces of maps are endowed with the…

We introduce four, a priori different, notions of topological pressure for possibly discontinuous semiflows acting on compact metric spaces and observe that they all agree with the classical one when restricted to the continuous setting.…

We define a one-parameter family of entropies, each assigning a real number to any probability measure on a compact metric space (or, more generally, a compact Hausdorff space with a notion of similarity between points). These entropies…

We introduce the set-self-Tietze property, an analogue of the self-Tietze property for upper semi-continuous set-valued functions. A topological space $X$ is self-Tietze, if for every closed $A \subseteq X$ and continuous function $f \colon…

We use the complexity function of an invariant, not necessary closed, subset of a two-sided shift space to compute the polynomial entropy of the induced dynamics on the hyperspace of continua for certain one-dimensional dynamical systems.…

A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…

We show that for every finite-rank median algebra $X$, the rank of $X$ coincides with the independence number of the family of all median-preserving maps $X \to [0,1]$. In the compact topological case, the same equality holds for the family…

In this paper it is proved that near a compact, invariant, proper subset of a continuous flow on a compact, connected metric space, at least one, out of twenty eight relevant dynamical phenomena, will necessarily occur. This result shows…

It is shown that a surjective monotone map $X\to Y$ between finite $T_0$-spaces induces a surjective map on homology. As such a map turns out to be a sequence of edge contractions in the Hasse diagram of $X$, followed by a homeomorphism,…

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…

Let $X$ be a topological space and $f:X\to X$ a bijection. Let ${\mathcal C}(X,f)$ be a set of integers such that an integer $n$ is an element of ${\mathcal C}(X,f)$ if and only if the bijection $f^n:X\to X$ is continuous. A subset $S$ of…

Let $ S $ be a hyperbolic surface. We investigate the topology of the space of all curves on $ S $ which start and end at given points in given directions, and whose curvatures are constrained to lie in a given interval $…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group that acts on a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, and let $E$ be a $G$-equivariant algebraic vector bundle over $X$. A section of $E$ is regular if it is transversal to the zero…

We introduce the concept of action space, a set $\boldsymbol{X}$ endowed with an action cost $\mathsf{a}:(0,+\infty)\times \boldsymbol{X}\times \boldsymbol{X}\to [0,+\infty)$ satisfying suitable axioms, which turn out to provide a `dynamic'…

For a topological space $X$ a topological contraction on $X$ is a closed mapping $f:X\to X$ such that for every open cover of $X$ there is a positive integer $n$ such that the image of the space $X$ via the $n$th iteration of $f$ is a…

A topological space $X$ is called submaximal if every dense subset of $X$ is open. In this paper, we show that if $\beta X$, the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of $X$, is a submaximal space, then $X$ is a compact space and hence $\beta…

Let $(X,\phi)$ be a compact flow without fixed points. We define the packing topological entropy $h_{\mathrm{top}}^P(\phi,K)$ on subsets of $X$ through considering all the possible reparametrizations of time. For fixed-point free flows, we…
