We prove that almost every level set of a Sobolev function in a planar domain consists of points, Jordan curves, or homeomorphic copies of an interval. For monotone Sobolev functions in the plane we have the stronger conclusion that almost…
With a new proof approach we prove in a more general setting the classical convergence theorem that almost everywhere convergence of measurable functions on a finite measure space implies convergence in measure. Specifically, we generalize…
A map $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called weakly discontinuous if each subspace $A\subset X$ contains an open dense subspace $U\subset A$ such that the restriction $f|U$ is continuous. A bijective map $f:X\to Y$ between…
For a homeomorphism $f$ of a compact metric space $X$ and a positive integer $n\geq 2$, we introduce the notion of $(\omega, \alpha, n)$-sensitivity of $f$, which describes such a kind of chaos: there is some $c>0$ such that for any $x\in…
Using only basic topological properties of real algebraic sets and regular morphisms we show that any injective regular self-mapping of a real algebraic set is surjective. Then we show that injective morphisms between germs of real…
We show that for a compact surface without boundary $M$ the set of cw-expansive homeomorphisms is dense in the set of all the homeomorphisms of $M$ with respect to the $C^0$ topology. After this we show that for a generic homeomorphism $f$…
We prove that given a sequence of homeomorphisms $f_k: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}^n$ convergent in $W^{1,p}(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^n)$, $p \geq 1$ for $n =2$ and $p > n-1$ for $n \geq 3$, to a homeomorphism $f$ which maps sets of measure zero onto…
We present three novel classifications of the weak sequential (and strong) limits in $W^{1,p}$ of planar diffeomorphisms. We introduce a concept called the QM condition which is a kind of separation property for pre-images of closed…
We prove that given any positive integer $k$, for each open set $\Omega$ and any closed subset $D$ of its closure such that $\Omega$ is locally an (epsilon,delta)-domain near points in the boundary of $\Omega$ not contained in $D$ there…
Let $\mathbb X$ and $\mathbb Y$ be $\ell$-connected Jordan domains, $\ell \in \mathbb N$, with rectifiable boundaries in the complex plane. We prove that any boundary homeomorphism $\varphi \colon \partial \mathbb X \to \partial \mathbb Y$…
By a result of John Ball (1981), a locally orientation preserving Sobolev map is almost everywhere globally invertible whenever its boundary values admit a homeomorphic extension. As shown here for any dimension, the conclusions of Ball's…
Given a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold $N^n$, we investigate whether the set of bounded Sobolev maps $(W^{1, p} \cap L^\infty) (Q^m; N^n)$ on the cube $Q^m$ is strongly dense in the Sobolev space $W^{1, p} (Q^m; N^n)$ for $1 \le p…
The well-known Bohr--P\'al theorem asserts that for every continuous real-valued function $f$ on the circle $\mathbb T$ there exists a change of variable, i.e., a homeomorphism $h$ of $\mathbb T$ onto itself, such that the Fourier series of…
For any integer $ p \geq 2 $, we construct a compact Riemannian manifold $ \mathcal{N} $ such that if $ \dim \mathcal{M} > p $, there is a map in the Sobolev space of mappings $ W^{1,p} (\mathcal{M}, \mathcal{N})$ which is not a weak limit…
It is well-known that there is a Sobolev homeomorphism $f\in W^{1,p}([-1,1]^n,[-1,1]^n)$ for any $p<n$ which maps a set $C$ of zero Lebesgue $n$-dimensional measure onto the set of positive measure. We study the size of this critical set…
Let X and Y be planar Jordan domains of the same finite connectivity, Y being inner chordarc regular (such are Lipschitz domains). Every homeomorphism h:X->Y in the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}$ extends to a continuous map between closed domains.…
A basilar property and a useful tool in the theory of Sobolev spaces is the density of smooth compactly supported functions in the space $W^{k,p}(\R^n)$ (i.e. the functions with weak derivatives of orders $0$ to $k$ in $L^p$). On Riemannian…
First of all, we establish compactness of continuous mappings of the Orlicz--Sobolev classes $W^{1,\varphi}_{\rm loc}$ with the Calderon type condition on $\varphi$ and, in particular, of the Sobolev classes $W^{1,p}_{\rm loc}$ for $p>n-1$…
Let $E$ be a linear space and suppose that $A$ is the global attractor of either (i) a homeomorphism $F:E\rightarrow E$ or (ii) a semigroup $S(\cdot)$ on $E$ that is injective on $A$. In both cases $A$ has trivial shape, and the dynamics on…
Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. It is shown that for $0\leq q\leq n$, $s\geq 0$, the embedding $j_{q}: dom(\overline{\partial})\cap dom(\overline{\partial}^{*}) \hookrightarrow…
