We establish universal approximation theorems for infinite-dimensional geometric rough paths, i.e., we show that continuous functions on the space of infinite-dimensional weakly geometric H\"older continuous rough paths can be approximated…

We prove that if $T: X \to X$ is a selfmap of a set $X$ such that $\bigcap \{T^{n}X: n\in N}\}$ is a one-point set, then the set $X$ can be endowed with a compact Hausdorff topology so that $T$ is continuous.

A space $X$ is "sequentially $n$-connected" at $x\in X$ if for every $0\leq k\leq n$ and sequence of maps $f_1,f_2,f_3,\dots:S^k\to X$ that converges toward a point $x\in X$, the maps $f_m$ contract by a sequence of null-homotopies that…

Let $p:E -> B$ be a principal fibration with classifying map $w:B -> C$. It is well-known that the group $[X,\Omega C]$ acts on $[X,E]$ with orbit space the image of $p_#$, where $p_#: [X,E] -> [X,B]$. The isotropy subgroup of the map of…

An \'etale homotopy type $T(X, z)$ associated to any pointed locally fibrant connected simplicial sheaf $(X, z)$ on a pointed locally connected small Grothendieck site $(\mc{C}, x)$ is studied. It is shown that this type $T(X, z)$…

An inverse limit of a sequence of covering spaces over a given space $X$ is not, in general, a covering space over $X$ but is still a lifting space, i.e. a Hurewicz fibration with unique path lifting property. Of particular interest are…

Let $\mathcal{E}(X)$ be the group of homotopy classes of self homotopy equivalences for a connected CW complex $X$. We observe two classes of maps $\mathcal{E}$-maps and co-$\mathcal{E}$-maps. They are defined as the maps $X\to Y$ that…

A topology on a nonempty set $X$ specifies a natural subset of $\mathcal{P}(X)$. By identifying $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{P}(X))$ with the totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space $2^{\mathcal{P}(X)}$, the lattice $Top(X)$ of all topologies…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be completely regular spaces and $E$ and $F$ be Hausdorff topological vector spaces. We call a linear map $T$ from a subspace of $C(X,E)$ into $C(Y,F)$ a \emph{Banach-Stone map} if it has the form $Tf(y) = S_{y}(f(h(y))$ for…

In this work we shall introduce a new model structure on the category of pro-simplicial sheaves, which is very convenient for the study of \'etale homotopy. Using this model structure we define a pro-space associated to a topos, as a result…

The work is motivated by the papers [Ba1], [Ba2], [Ba7], [Ba11], [Be] and [Be-Tu]. In particular, the strong homology groups of continuous maps were defined and studied in [Be] and [Be-Tu]. To show that given groups are homology type…

Given a topological group $ G $ and a Hausdorff topological group $ A $ on which $ G $ acts continuously and compatibly with the group operation of $ A $, we study the set of continuous cocycles of $ G $ with value in $ A $. This set is a…

Finite-sheeted covering mappings onto compact connected groups are studied. It is shown that a finite-sheeted covering mapping from a connected Hausdorff topological space onto a compact connected abelian group G must be a homeomorphism…

The aim of this paper is to introduce the concepts of homotopical smallness and closeness. These are the properties of homotopical classes of maps that are related to recent developments in homotopy theory and to the construction of…

For a connected based space $X$, let $[X,X]$ be the set of all based homotopy classes of base point preserving self map of $X$ and let $\E(X)$ be the group of self-homotopy equivalences of $X$. We denote by $\A_{\sharp}^k(X)$ the set of…

Given a manifold $M$ and a proper sub-bundle $\Delta\subset TM$, we study homotopy properties of the horizontal base-point free loop space $\Lambda$, i.e. the space of absolutely continuous maps $\gamma:S^1\to M$ whose velocities are…

The classifying space of a crossed complex generalises the construction of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces. We show how the theory of fibrations of crossed complexes allows the analysis of homotopy classes of maps from a free crossed complex to…

We prove that holomorphic maps from an open subset of a complex smooth projective curve to a complex smooth projective rationally simply connected variety can be approximated by algebraic maps for the compact-open topology. This theorem can…

For a large class of metric spaces with nice local structure, which includes Banach-Finsler manifolds and geodesic spaces of curvature bounded above, we give sufficient conditions for a local homeomorphism to be a covering projection. We…

In this paper we introduce the notion of Hurewicz fibrations in the class of embedding maps of orbifold charts by giving the concept of E-fibration embedding. We study the fundamental properties of this concept such as the restriction,…
