We show that the $\sigma$-product of complete Erd\H{o}s space $\mathfrak E_{\mathrm{c}}$ is homeomorphic to the rational product $\mathbb Q\times \mathfrak E_{\mathrm{c}}$, answering a question by Rodrigo Hern\'{a}ndez-Guti\'{e}rrez and…

Erd\H{o}s space $\mathfrak{E}$ and complete Erd\H{o}s space $\mathfrak{E}_c$ have been previously shown to have topological characterizations. In this paper, we provide a topological characterization of the topological space…

Recently, David S. Lipham has shown that if $X$ is an Erd\H{o}s space factor then the Vietoris hyperspace $\mathcal{F}(X)$ of finite subsets of $X$ is an Erd\H{o}s space factor. In this short note we prove that if $\mathfrak{E}$ denotes…

We investigate the homogeneity of topological subspaces of separable Hilbert space, akin to the spaces with all points rational or all points irrational, so-called Erd\H{o}s spaces. We provide a non-homogeneous example, that is based on one…

Symmetric products of curves are important spaces for both geometers and topologists, and increasingly useful objects for physicists. We summarize in this note some of their basic homotopy theoretic properties and derive a handful of known…

We investigate certain geometric properties of the spaces of idempotent measures. In particular, we prove that the space of idempotent measures on an infinite compact metric space is homeomorphic to the Hilbert cube.

This is a review paper about symmetric products of spaces $SP^n(X):= X^n/S_n$. We focus our attention on the symmetric products of 2-manifolds and make a journey through selected topics of algebraic topology, algebraic geometry,…

Let $f\colon M\to M$ be an expansive homeomorphism with dense topologically hyperbolic periodic points, $M$ a compact manifold. Then there is a local product structure in an open and dense subset of $M$. Moreover, if some topologically…

Using the topological technique of diagrams of spaces, we calculate the homology of the union and the complement of finite arrangements of subspaces of the form $D + SP^{n-d}(X)$ in symmetric products $SP^n(X)$ where $D\in SP^d(X)$. As an…

We give a geometric method for determining the cohomology groups of a polyhedral product under suitable freeness conditions or with coefficients taken in a field. This is done by considering first the special case for which the pairs of…

In this paper we prove that, taking $X$ a Hausdorff topological space, the homotopy groups of the spaces $SP_{m}(X)$ and $F_{m}(X)$, both called symmetric products, are monomorphic. We also introduce a new algebraic tool in topology: the…

We study geodesically complete and locally compact Hadamard spaces X whose Tits boundary is a connected irreducible spherical building. We show that X is symmetric iff complete geodesics in X do not branch and a Euclidean building…

The article is devoted to topological homeomorphisms of Banach spaces over complete non-Archimedean normed infinite fields with products of copies of the fields.

We determine the homeomorphism type of the space of smooth complete nonnegatively curved metrics on surfaces of positive Euler characteristic equipped with the topology of $C^\gamma$ uniform convergence on compact sets, when $\gamma$ is…

We prove that equivariant, holomorphic embeddings of Hermitian symmetric spaces are totally geodesic (when the image is not of exceptional type).

In this note, we consider the space $H(\Omega)^{\mathbb N}$ of sequences of holomorphic functions on an open set $\Omega\subset {\mathbb C}$. If $H(\Omega)$ is endowed with its natural topology and $H(\Omega)^{\mathbb N}$ is endowed with…

An example is given of a compact absolute retract that is not a Hilbert cube manifold but whose second symmetric porduct is the Hilbert cube. A factor theorem is given for nth symmetric product of the cartesian product of any absolute…

The main result of this paper is the proof that all the symmetric products of a (finite) Galois-Maximal space are also Galois-Maximal spaces. This applies to the special case of real algebraic varieties, solving the problem first stated by…

The group of compactly supported homeomorphisms on a Tychonoff space can be topologized in a number of ways, including as a colimit of homeomorphism groups with a given compact support, or as a subgroup of the homeomorphism group of its…

We generalise the fold map for the wedge sum and use this to give a loop space decomposition of topological spaces with a high degree of symmetry. This is applied to polyhedral products to give a loop space decomposition of polyhedral…
