We consider which spaces can be realized as the omega limit set of the discrete time dynamical system. This is equivalent to asking which spaces admit a chain transitive homeomorphism and which do not. This leads us to ask for spaces where…

In this paper we generalize a result in [1], showing that an arbitrary Riemannian symmetric space can be realized as a closed submanifold of a covering group of the Lie group defining the symmetric space. Some properties of the subgroups of…

This paper identifies the homotopy theories of topological stacks and orbispaces with unstable global homotopy theory. At the same time, we provide a new perspective by interpreting it as the homotopy theory of `spaces with an action of the…

We discuss transformations generated by dynamical quantum systems which are bi-unitary, i.e. unitary with respect to a pair of Hermitian structures on an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space. We introduce the notion of Hermitian…

In this paper we show that an affine space is determined by the abstract group structure of its group of regular automorphisms in the category of connected affine varieties. To prove this we study commutative subgroups of the group of…

The article is devoted to the question whether the orbit space of a compact linear group is a topological manifold and a homological manifold. In the paper, the case of a simple three-dimensional group is considered. An upper bound is…

We consider Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of the Euclidean space, generated by compactly supported time-dependent perturbations of hyperbolic quadratic forms. We prove that, under some natural assumptions, such a diffeomorphism must have…

For a topological group $G$ let $E_{\textsf{com}}(G)$ be the total space of the universal transitionally commutative principal $G$-bundle as defined by Adem--Cohen--Torres-Giese. So far this space has been most studied in the case of…

We study graphs coming from quadratic spaces over finite fields via orthogonality which generalize a recent result given by Bishnoi, Ihringer, and Pepe (2019). More precisely, we study the graph $\Gamma^{\square}(n,k,q)$ as follows: the…

Symmetry plays a key role in determining the physical properties of materials. By Neumann's principle, the properties of a material are invariant under the symmetry operations of the space group to which the material belongs. Continuous…

Motivated by various results on homogeneous geodesics of Riemannian spaces, we study homogeneous trajectories, i.e. trajectories which are orbits of a one-parameter symmetry group, of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. We present criteria…

Symmetries are known to dictate important physical properties and can be used as a design principle in particular in wave physics, including wave structures and the resulting propagation dynamics. Local symmetries, in the sense of a…

In this work we develop a well-defined theory of orbit spaces for piecewise smooth vector fields (PSVFs). This approach is inspired by the techniques already used in the study of endomorphisms, namely inverse limit analysis, and has been…

Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space of finite dimension $n\ge 3$. Denote by ${\mathcal G}_{k}(H)$ the Grassmannian consisting of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $H$. Every orthogonal apartment of ${\mathcal G}_{k}(H)$ is defined by a certain…

One of the prime motivation for topology was Homotopy theory, which captures the general idea of a continuous transformation between two entities, which may be spaces or maps. In later decades, an algebraic formulation of topology was…

The constraint equations for smooth $[n+1]$-dimensional (with $n\geq 3$) Riemannian or Lorentzian spaces satisfying the Einstein field equations are considered. It is shown, regardless of the signature of the primary space, that the…

A reductive homogeneous space $G/H$ is always diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of an orbit of a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. We prove that if $G/H$ admits compact quotients, then the sphere bundle associated to this normal bundle is…

We use representation theory to construct spaces of matrices of constant rank. These spaces are parametrized by the natural representation of the general linear group or the symplectic group. We present variants of this idea, with more…

We explore the geometry of nonpositively curved spaces with isolated flats, and its consequences for groups that act properly discontinuously, cocompactly, and isometrically on such spaces. We prove that the geometric boundary of the space…

This article studies a large, general class of orthogonal polytopes which we may call "generic orthotopes". These objects emerged from a desire to represent a Coxeter complex by an orthogonal polytope that is particularly nice with respect…
