Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is $injectively$ $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if $X$ is closed in each topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$ containing $X$ as a subsemigroup. Let $\mathsf{T_{\!2}S}$ (resp.…

We consider non-singular and Jacobian maps whose components are polynomial in the variable y. We prove that if a map has y-degree one, then it is the composition of a triangular map and a quasi-triangular map. We also prove that…

We investigate the Tits boundary of locally compact CAT(0) 2-complexes. In particular we show that away from the endpoints, a geodesic segment in the Tits boundary is the ideal boundary of an isometrically embedded Euclidean sector. As…

A compact space X is I-favorable if, and only if X can be representing as a limit of $\sigma$-complete inverse system of compact metrizable spaces with skeletal bonding maps.

A complex $X$ is called Ding injective if there exists an exact sequence of injective complexes $\ldots \rightarrow E_1 \rightarrow E_0 \rightarrow E_{-1} \rightarrow \ldots$ such that $X = Ker(E_0 \rightarrow E_{-1})$, and the sequence…

If a complex $X$ is a subcomplex of a diagrammatically reducible 2-complex $Y$ that has locally indicable fundamental group, then $X$ has locally indicable fundamental group. This is a consequence of the Corson-Trace characterization of…

We show that, for uniformly locally finite metric spaces $X$ and $Y$ with isomorphic uniform Roe algebras $C^*_u(X)$ and $C^*_u(Y)$, the existence of a bijective coarse equivalence $f \colon X \to Y$ is equivalent to the injectivity of the…

We show that Serre's Intersection Multiplicity Conjecture holds for a formal power series ring A over a complete, two-dimensional regular local ring R. From this, we deduce the corresponding result for the local rings of any scheme X which…

Let C be an integral projective curve in any characteristic. Given an invertible sheaf L on C of degree 1, form the associated Abel map A_L : C -> P, which maps C into its compactified Jacobian scheme P, and form its pullback map A_L^* :…

We show that the independence complex of a chordal graph is contractible if and only if this complex is dismantlable (strong collapsible) and it is homotopy equivalent to a sphere if and only if its core is a cross-polytopal sphere. The…

We show that there can be no algorithm to decide whether infinite recursively described acyclic aspherical 2-complexes are contractible. We construct such a complex that is contractible if and only if the Collatz conjecture holds.

The space of all finite non-empty subsets of a topological space $X$, also known as the Ran space of $X$, is weakly contractible for $X$ path connected. We consider subspaces $\mathrm{Ran}_{\leqslant n}(X)$ of the Ran space given by all…

Let C be a generic curve, E a generic vector bundle on C. Then, for every line bundle on C the twisted Petri map P:H^0(C,L\otimes E)\otimes H^0(C, K\otimes L^*\otimes E^{*})--> H^0(C, K) is injective.

Let $P : \Sigma \rightarrow S$ be a finite degree covering map between surfaces. Rafi and Schleimer show that there is an induced quasi-isometric embedding $\Pi : \mathcal{C}(S) \rightarrow \mathcal{C}(\Sigma)$ between the associated curve…

We study the existence of incompressible embeddings of surfaces into the genus two handlebody. We show that for every compact surface with boundary, orientable or not, there is an incompressible embedding of the surface into the genus two…

We prove that each superinjective simplicial map of the complex of curves of a compact, connected, nonorientable surface is induced by a homeomorphism of the surface, if $(g, n) \in \{(1, 0), (1, 1), (2, 0), (2, 1), (3, 0)\}$ or $g + n \geq…

We study thick subcategories of the category of 2-term complexes of projective modules over an associative algebra. We show that those thick subcategories that have enough injectives are in explicit bijection with 2-term silting complexes…

We study the acylindrical hyperbolicity of groups acting by isometries on CAT(0) cube complexes, and obtain simple criteria formulated in terms of stabilisers for the action. Namely, we show that a group acting essentially and…

Let $X$ be a two-sided subshift on a finite alphabet endowed with a mixing probability measure which is positive on all cylinders in $X$. We show that there exist arbitrarily small finite overlapping union of shifted cylinders which…

The partition number $\pi(K)$ of a simplicial complex $K\subset 2^{[m]}$ is the minimum integer $\nu$ such that for each partition $A_1\uplus\ldots\uplus A_\nu = [m]$ of $[m]$ at least one of the sets $A_i$ is in $K$. A complex $K$ is…
