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.…

We define the class of weakly approximately divisible unital C*-algebras and show that this class is closed under direct sums, direct limits, any tensor product with any C*-algebra, and quotients. A nuclear C*-algebra is weakly…

We introduce the class of almost symmetric submanifolds of Euclidean space, a close relative of symmetric submanifolds and (contact) sub-Riemannian symmetric spaces. More specifically, we prove that every full irreducible almost symmetric…

For a compact convex subset K with non-empty interior in a finite-dimensional vector space, let G be the group of all smooth diffeomorphisms of K which fix the boundary of K pointwise. We show that G is a C^0-regular infinite-dimensional…

We show that any filtering family of closed convex subsets of a finite-dimensional CAT(0) space $X$ has a non-empty intersection in the visual bordification $ \bar{X} = X \cup \partial X$. Using this fact, several results known for proper…

We introduce the group-compact coarse structure on a Hausdorff topological group in the context of coarse structures on an abstract group which are compatible with the group operations. We develop asymptotic dimension theory for the…

For every $d\ge 3$, we construct a noncompact smooth $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with strictly positive sectional curvature without isoperimetric sets for any volume below $1$. We construct a similar example also for the relative…

We prove that there exists a $\Sigma^0_1$ closed subset of $[0,1]$ that is not homeomorphic to any computably compact space. We show that the index set of c.e. subspaces of $[0,1]$ that admit a computably compact presentation is not…

We prove that there is a residual subset of the Gromov-Hausdorff space (i.e. the space of all compact metric spaces up to isometry endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff distance) whose points enjoy several unexpected properties. In particular,…

We answer a question of Banakh, Jab\l{}o\'nska and Jab\l{}o\'nski by showing that for $d\ge 2$ there exists a compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ such that the projection of $K$ onto each hyperplane is of non-empty interior, but $K+K$ is…

We show that finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero such that their high-degree cohomology in any finite-dimensional non-trivial irreducible module vanishes, are, essentially, direct sums of semisimple and…

An $\omega_1$-compact space is a space in which every closed discrete subspace is countable. We give various general conditions under which a locally compact, $\omega_1$-compact space is $\sigma$-countably compact, i.e., the union of…

Let $\mathcal{W}^{n}$ be the class of $C^{\infty }$ complete simply connected $n-$dimensional manifolds without conjugate points. The hyperbolic space as well as Euclidean space are good examples of such manifolds. Let $% W\in…

We construct a compact metric space that has any other compact metric space as a tangent, with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, at all points. Furthermore, we give examples of compact sets in the Euclidean unit cube, that have…

It is proved that -- consistently -- there can be no ccc closed P-sets in the remainder space omega^* .

We construct local zero curvature representations for non-linear sigma models on homogeneous spaces, defined on a space-time of any dimension, following a recently proposed approach to integrable theories in dimensions higher than two. We…

For a nonempty compact subset $\sigma$ in the plane, the space $AC(\sigma)$ is the closure of the space of complex polynomials in two real variables under a particular variation norm. In the classical setting, $AC[0,1]$ contains several…

In \cite{Chaber}, Chaber has proved that countably compact spaces with a quasi $G_{\delta }$-diagonal are compact. We prove that initially $\kappa $% -compact spaces with a quasi $G_{\kappa }$-diagonal are compact, for any infinite cardinal…

We prove a rigidity theorem that shows that, under many circumstances, quasi-isometric embeddings of equal rank, higher rank symmetric spaces are close to isometric embeddings. We also produce some surprising examples of quasi-isometric…

For finite dimensional free $C_p$-spaces, the calculation of the Bredon cohomology ring as an algebra over the cohomology of $S^0$ is used to prove the non-existence of certain $C_p$-maps. These are related to Borsuk-Ulam type theorems, and…
