Under $\mathrm{ZF}$, we show that the statement that every subset of every $\mathbb{R}$-vector space has a maximal convex subset is equivalent to the Axiom of Choice. We also study the strength of the same statement restricted to some…

Evolutionary game theory studies populations that change in response to an underlying game. Often, the functional form relating outcome to player attributes or strategy is complex, preventing mathematical progress. In this work, we…

The countable uniform power (or uniform box product) of a uniform space $X$ is a special topology on ${}^{\omega}X$ that lies between the Tychonoff topology and the box topology. We solve an open problem posed by P. Nyikos showing that if…

We introduce and develop a class of \textit{Cantor-winning} sets that share the same amenable properties as the classical winning sets associated to Schmidt's $(\alpha,\beta)$-game: these include maximal Hausdorff dimension, invariance…

De Vries duality yields a dual equivalence between the category of compact Hausdorff spaces and a category of complete Boolean algebras with a proximity relation on them, known as de Vries algebras. We extend de Vries duality to completely…

In Koeller \cite{koerprops} the twelve variants of the Reifenberg properties known to be instrumental in the theory of minimal surfaces were classified with respect to various Hausdorff measure based measure theoretic properties. The…

The 2 x 2 games, in particular the Prisoner's Dilemma, have been extensively used in studies into reciprocal cooperation and, to a lesser extent, kin selection. This paper examines the suitability of the 2 x 2 games for modelling the…

We consider the Lion and Man game, i.e., a two-person pursuit-evasion game with equal players' top speeds. We assume that capture radius is positive and chosen in advance. The main aim of the paper is describing pursuer's winning strategies…

We introduce and study the notion of overt choice for countably-based spaces and for CoPolish spaces. Overt choice is the task of producing a point in a closed set specified by what open sets intersect it. We show that the question of…

We study tensor norms over Banach spaces and their relations to quantum information theory, in particular their connection with two-prover games. We consider a version of the Hilbertian tensor norm $\gamma_2$ and its dual $\gamma_2^*$ that…

Selective Rips complexes corresponding to a sequence of parameters are a generalization of Vietoris-Rips complexes utilizing the idea of thin simplices. We prove that if a metric space $Y$ is close (in Gromov-Hausdorff distance) to a closed…

Recent work of Beben and Theriault on decomposing based loop spaces of highly connected Poincar\'e Duality complexes has yielded new methods for analysing the homotopy theory of manifolds. In this paper we will expand upon these methods,…

We study bipartite correlations in Bell-type games. We show that in a setup where the information carriers are allowed to locally deform the manifold on which the game is played, stronger correlations may be obtained than those maximally…

In this paper, we continue the study of function spaces equipped with topologies of (strong) uniform convergence on bornologies initiated by Beer and Levi \cite{beer-levi:09}. In particular, we investigate some topological properties these…

We derive multiparty games that, if the winning chance exceeds a certain limit, prove the incompatibility of the parties' causal relations with any partial order. This, in turn, means that the parties exert a back-action on the causal…

We prove that the space of causal curves between compact subsets of a separable globally hyperbolic poset is itself compact in the Vietoris topology. Although this result implies the usual result in general relativity, its proof does not…

This article is a continuation of the study of bornological open covers and related selection principles in metric spaces done in (Chandra et al. 2020) using the idea of strong uniform convergence (Beer and Levi, 2009) on bornology. Here we…

We study continuous selections of the set-valued map that takes every skew-symmetric bilinear form on a vector space to its corresponding set of maximal isotropic subspaces. Applications are made to establishing continuity properties of the…

For a $T_0$ space $X$, let $\mk (X)$ be the poset of all compact saturated sets of $X$ with the reverse inclusion order. The space $X$ is said to have property Q if for any $K_1, K_2\in \mk (X)$, $K_2\ll K_1$ in $\mk (X)$ if{}f…

We consider the contractibility of Vietoris-Rips complexes of dense subsets of $(\mathbb{R}^n,\ell_1)$ with sufficiently large scales. This is motivated by a question by Matthew Zaremsky regarding whether for each $n$ natural there is a…
