We study spaces that can be mapped onto the Baire space (i.e. the countable power of the countable discrete space) by a continuous quasi-open bijection. We give a characterization of such spaces in terms of Souslin schemes and call these…

In [5] we studied spaces with a Lusin $\pi$-base and $\pi$-spaces and posed the following question: Does the class of continuous open images of spaces with a Lusin $\pi$-base equal the class of continuous open images of $\pi$-spaces? We…

We give descriptions of metrizable topological spaces that are images of the Sorgenfrey line under continuous maps of different types (open, closed, quotient and others). To obtain this descriptions, we introduce the notion of a Lusin…

We construct a quasi-Banach space $X$ which contains no basic sequence.

A topological space is $Suslin$ ($Lusin$) if it is a continuous (and bijective) image of a Polish space. For a Tychonoff space $X$ let $C_p(X)$, $C_k(X)$ and $C_{{\downarrow}F}(X)$ be the space of continuous real-valued functions on $X$,…

We construct a reflexive Banach space $X$ with a subspace isometric to $X$, which is not complemented in $X$.

We give the first example of a nontrivial twisted Hilbert space that satisfies the Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma. This space has no unconditional basis. We also show that such a space gives a partial answer to a question of Mascioni.

We construct a free $\mathbb{Z}_2$-manifold $X_n$ for a positive integer $n$ such that $w_1(X_n)^n \neq 0$, but there is no $\mathbb{Z}_2$-equivariant map from $S^2$ to $X_n$.

A Lusin space is a Hausdorff space being the image of a Polish space under a continuous bijection. Such spaces have multiple applications, in particular, as state spaces of various stochastic systems. In this work, we consider the spaces…

Let $X$ be a Banach space with an unconditional finite-dimensional Schauder decomposition $(E_n)$. We consider the general problem of characterizing conditions under which one can construct an unconditional basis for $X$ by forming an…

We deal with the class of Hausdorff spaces having a $\pi$-base whose elements have an H-closed closure. Carlson proved that $|X|\leq 2^{wL(X)\psi_c(X)t(X)}$ for every quasiregular space $X$ with a $\pi$-base whose elements have an H-closed…

A space $X$ is said to be $\pi$-metrizable if it has a $\sigma$-discrete $\pi$-base. In this paper, we mainly give affirmative answers for two questions about $\pi$-metrizable spaces. The main results are that: (1) A space $X$ is…

If a (non-constant) polynomial has no zero, then a certain Riemannian metric is constructed on the two dimensional sphere. Several geometric arguments are then shown to contradict this fact.

For a large class of Banach spaces, a general construction of subspaces without local unconditional structure is presented. As an application it is shown that every Banach space of finite cotype contains either $l_2$ or a subspace without…

All spaces below are Tychonov. We define the projective pi-character p(X) of a space X as the supremum of the values $\pi\chi(Y)$ where Y ranges over all continuous images of X. Our main result says that every space X has a pi-base whose…

We construct a Banach space that does not contain any infinite unconditional basic sequence.

We construct a weak Hilbert space that is a twisted Hilbert space.

The set of matrix tuples with invariant subspaces whose dimensions sum up to the dimension of the space, but which do not span the whole space form an algebraic hypersurface. We found the equation of this hypersurface. This generalizes…

We show that there exists a bounded subset of R such that no system of exponentials can be a Riesz basis for the corresponding Hilbert space. An additional result gives a lower bound for the Riesz constant of any putative Riesz basis of the…

A necessary and sufficient condition for existence of a Banach space with a finite dimensional decomposition but without the $\pi$-property in terms of norms of compositions of projections is found.
