For a topological space $X$ a topological contraction on $X$ is a closed mapping $f:X\to X$ such that for every open cover of $X$ there is a positive integer $n$ such that the image of the space $X$ via the $n$th iteration of $f$ is a…

A strict quantization of a compact symplectic manifold $S$ on a subset $I\subseteq\R$, containing 0 as an accumulation point, is defined as a continuous field of $C^*$-algebras $\{A_{\hbar}\}_{\hbar\in I}$, with $A_0=C_0(S)$, and a set of…

A topological space $X$ is called a topological fractal if $X=\bigcup_{f\in\mathcal F}f(X)$ for a finite system $\mathcal F$ of continuous self-maps of $X$, which is topologically contracting in the sense that for every open cover $\mathcal…

Finite rank median spaces are a simultaneous generalisation of finite dimensional ${\rm CAT}(0)$ cube complexes and real trees. If $\Gamma$ is an irreducible lattice in a product of rank one simple Lie groups, we show that every action of…

The $K$-theory of the stable Higson corona of a coarse space carries a canonical ring structure. This ring is the domain of an unreduced version of the coarse co-assembly map of Emerson and Meyer. We show that the target also carries a ring…

Let $\mathcal X$ be an infinite locally compact separable metric space with metric $\rho$ and let $f : \mathcal X \longrightarrow \mathcal X$ be a continuous weakly mixing map. Let $\beta = \sup \big\{ \rho(x, y): \{x, y \} \subset \mathcal…

Consider a fibred compact K\"ahler manifold X endowed with a relatively ample line bundle, such that each fibre admits a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric and has discrete automorphism group. Assuming the base of the fibration…

In this note on coarse geometry we revisit coarse homotopy. We prove that coarse homotopy indeed is an equivalence relation, and this in the most general context of abstract coarse structures. We introduce (in a geometric way) coarse…

We prove that each coarsely homogenous separable metric space $X$ is coarsely equivalent to one of the spaces: the sigleton, the Cantor macro-cube or the Baire macro-space. This classification is derived from coarse characterizations of the…

Let $\mathscr{A}$ be a real projective line arrangement and $M(\mathscr{A})$ its complement in $\mathbb{CP}^2$. We obtain an explicit expression in terms of Randell's generators of the meridians around the exceptional divisors in the…

Ends and end cohomology are powerful invariants for the study of noncompact spaces. We present a self-contained exposition of the topological theory of ends and prove novel extensions including the existence of an exhaustion of a proper…

We define a generalization of the fixed point set, called the bounded fixed set, for a group acting by isometries on a metric space. An analogue of the P. A. Smith theorem is proved for metric spaces of finite asymptotic dimension, which…

The purpose of this article is to relate coarse cohomology of metric spaces with a more computable cohomology. We introduce a notion of boundedly supported cohomology and prove that coarse cohomology of many spaces are isomorphic to the…

In this paper it is proven that if the group of covering translations of the covering space of a compact, connected, $P^2$-irreducible 3-manifold corresponding to a non-trivial, finitely-generated subgroup of its fundamental group is…

We construct a locally finite connected graph whose Freudenthal compactification is universal for the class of completely regular continua, a class also known in the literature under the name thin or graph-like continua.

We show that in dimensions $>1$ the cohomology groups of the Higson compactification of the hyperbolic space $\H^n$ with respect to the $C_0$ coarse structure are trivial. Also we prove that the cohomology groups of the Higson…

In this paper, we give a framework for the study of the extremal length geometry of Teichm\"uller space after S. Kerckhoff, F. Gardiner and H. Masur. There is a natural compactification using extremal length geometry introduced by Gardiner…

For a group $G$, we denote by $\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{G}$ the coarse space on $G$ endowed with the coarse structure with the base $\{\{ (x,y)\in G\times G: y\in x^F \} : F \in [G]^{<\omega} \}$, $x^F = \{z^{-1} xz : z\in F \}$. Our goal…

Let X be a complex manifold of dimension 2, which admits a strictly plurisubharmonic function r which is proper as a function with values in the intervall ]inf r, sup r[. We prove that the concave end of X can be compactified, if and only…

Adapting a homotopy reconstruction theorem for general metric compacta, we show that every countable metric or ultrametric compact space can be topologically reconstructed as the inverse limit of a sequence of finite $T_0$ spaces which are…
