We investigate fixed point properties for isometric actions of topological groups on a wide class of metric spaces, with a particular emphasis on Hilbert spaces. Instead of requiring the action to be continuous, we assume that it is…
This paper describes a new link between combinatorial number theory and geometry. The main result states that A is a finite set of relatively prime positive integers if and only if A = (K-K) \cap N, where K is a compact set of real numbers…
There are theories of coverings of $C^*$-algebras which can be included into a following list: coverings of commutative $C^*$-algebras, coverings of $C^*$-algebras of groupoids and foliations, coverings of noncommutative tori, the double…
A group, defined as set with associative multiplication and inverse, is a natural structure describing the symmetry of a space. The concept of group generalizes to group objects internal to other categories than sets. But there are yet more…
The theory of abelian categories proved very useful, providing an axiomatic framework for homology and cohomology of modules over a ring and, in particular, of abelian groups. For many years, a similar categorical framework has been lacking…
We investigate the complexity of isomorphism relations for classes of finitely generated and n-generated computably enumerable (c.e.) algebras, presented via c.e. presentations -- that is, as quotients of term algebras over decidable sets…
One of our result is that 5 measurable sets in $R^8$ always admit an equipartition by 2 hyperplanes. This is an instance of a general equipartition problem (formulated by B. Gr{\" u}nbaum and H. Hadwiger) which can be reduced to the…
We investigate whether the group algebra of a finite group over a localisation of the integers is semiperfect. The main result is a necessary and sufficient arithmetic criterion in the ordinary case. In the modular case, we propose a…
We develop a generalized covering space theory for a class of uniform spaces called coverable spaces. Coverable spaces include all geodesic metric spaces, connected and locally pathwise connected compact topological spaces, in particular…
Given a finitely generated group $\Gamma$, we study the space ${\rm Isom}(\Gamma,{\mathbb Q\mathbb U})$ of all actions of $\Gamma$ by isometries of the rational Urysohn metric space ${\mathbb Q\mathbb U}$, where ${\rm Isom}(\Gamma,{\mathbb…
In Chapter 1 we give the basic background and notations. We also give a new characterization of the Conrad property for orderings. In Chapter 2, we use the new characterization of the Conradian property to give a classification of groups…
The goal of this article is to study results and examples concerning finitely presented covers of finitely generated amenable groups. We collect examples of groups $G$ with the following properties: (i) $G$ is finitely generated, (ii) $G$…
In this version small mistakes are corrected and the exposition is changed as suggested by the referee (to appear in Canadian Journal of Mathematics). The first main result of the paper is a criterion for a partially commutative group $\GG$…
The group of homeomorphisms of the closed interval that are absolutely continuous and have an absolutely continuous inverse was shown by Solecki to admit a natural Polish group topology $\tau_{ac}$. We show that, under mild conditions on a…
Benjelloun et al. \cite{BGSWW} considered the Entity Resolution (ER) problem as the generic process of matching and merging entity records judged to represent the same real world object. They treated the functions for matching and merging…
We consider a number of examples of groups together with an infinite conjugation invariant generating set, including: the free group with the generating set of all separable elements; surface groups with the generating set of all…
We demonstrate how a generic automated theorem prover can be applied to establish the non-orderability of groups. Our approach incorporates various tools such as positive cones, torsions, generalised torsions and cofinal elements.
Given a family of subspaces we investigate existence, quantity and quality of common complements in Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. In particular we are interested in complements for countable families of closed subspaces of finite…
In proper homotopy theory, the original concept of point used in the classical homotopy theory of topological spaces is generalized in order to obtain homotopy groups that study the infinite of the spaces. This idea: "Using any arbitrary…
Recently the author has introduced cobordism-like modules induced from generic maps whose codimensions are negative. They are generalizations of cobordism modules of manifolds. They have been introduced in generalizing the following theorem…
