We present the effective version of the theorem about turning Borel sets in Polish spaces into clopen sets while preserving the Borel structure of the underlying space. We show that under some conditions the emerging parameters can be…

A version of group cohomology for locally compact groups and Polish modules has previously been developed using a bar resolution restricted to measurable cochains. That theory was shown to enjoy analogs of most of the standard algebraic…

Let $G$ be a countably infinite group, and let $\mu$ be a generating probability measure on $G$. We study the space of $\mu$-stationary Borel probability measures on a topological $G$ space, and in particular on $Z^G$, where $Z$ is any…

We present a recent result of Ibarluc\'ia stating that every Roelcke precompact Polish group has Kazhdan's property (T). This striking theorem builds on the characterization of Roelcke precompact Polish groups as automorphism groups of…

We show that, for a generic measure preserving transformation $T$, the closed group generated by $T$ is not isomorphic to the topological group $L^0(\lambda, {\mathbb T})$ of all Lebesgue measurable functions from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbb T$…

We propose and study a new approach to the topologization of spaces of (possibly not all) future-directed causal curves in a stably causal spacetime. It relies on parametrizing the curves "in accordance" with a chosen time function. Thus…

We define the Born group as the group of transformations that leave invariant the line element of Minkowski's spacetime written in terms of Fermi coordinates of a Born congruence. This group depends on three arbitrary functions of a single…

In this thesis we explore natural procedures through which topological structure can be constructed from specific semigroups. We will do this in two ways: 1) we equip the semigroup object itself with a topological structure, and 2) we find…

For an infinite group $G$, the poset $\mathcal{L}_G$ of group topologies constitutes a complete lattice. Although $\mathcal{L}_G$ is modular when $G$ is abelian, this property fails to persist for nilpotent groups. Extending Arnautov's 2010…

We study Polish spaces for which a set of possible distances $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^+$ is fixed in advance. We determine, depending on the properties of $A$, the complexity of the collection of all Polish metric spaces with distances in…

There are certain countably generated sigma-algebras of sets in the real line which do not admit any non-zero, sigma-finite, diffused (or, continuous) measure. Such countably generated sigma-algebras can be obtained by the use of some…

For a continuous action of a countable discrete group $G$ on a Polish space $X$, a countable Borel partition $P$ of $X$ is called a generator if $G \cdot P := \{ gC : g \in G, C \in P \}$ generates the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$. For $G…

We prove, by a straight construction, that the automorphism group of the measure algebra and the subgroup of the measure preserving ones cannot be isomorphic to the trivial automorphisms of P(N)/fin.

This paper studies Moore's measurable cohomology theory for locally compact groups and Polish modules. An elementary dimension-shifting argument is used to show that all classes in that theory have representatives with considerable extra…

We show that recurrence conditions do not yield invariant Borel probability measures in the descriptive set-theoretic milieu, in the strong sense that if a Borel action of a locally compact Polish group on a standard Borel space satisfies…

We present the (Lascar) Galois group of any countable theory as a quotient of a compact Polish group by an $F_\sigma$ normal subgroup: in general, as a topological group, and under NIP, also in terms of Borel cardinality. This allows us to…

Let the measure algebra of a topological group be equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded right uniformly equicontinuous sets of functions. Convolution is separately continuous on the measure algebra, and it is jointly…

A topological space is reversible if each continuous bijection of it onto itself is open. We introduce an analogue of this notion in the category of topological groups: A topological group G is g-reversible if every continuous automorphism…

We study topological properties of the symmetric inverse topological semigroup of finite transformations $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n$ of the rank $\leqslant n$. We show that the topological inverse semigroup $\mathscr{I}_\lambda^n$ is…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite abelian group. A dynamical system with transformation group $\Lambda$ is a triple $(A,\Lambda,\alpha)$, consisting of a unital locally convex algebra $A$, the finite abelian group $\Lambda$ and a group homomorphism…
