We prove that the classes of weakly $1$-dimensional and almost $0$-dimensional spaces are disjoint. The result has applications to hereditarily locally connected spaces, $\mathbb R$-trees, and endpoints of smooth fans.

A relational structure is called reversible iff every bijective endomorphism of that structure is an automorphism. We give several equivalents of that property in the class of disconnected binary structures and some its subclasses. For…

One of the main purposes of this paper is to prove that on a complete K\"ahler manifold of dimension $m$, if the holomorphic bisectional curvature is bounded from below by -1 and the minimum spectrum $\lambda_1(M) \ge m^2$, then it must…

The following is an open problem in topology: Determine whether the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification of a widely-connected space is necessarily an indecomposable continuum. Herein we describe properties of $X$ that are necessary and…

It is known that if a compact metric space X admits a minimal expansive homeomorphism then X is totally disconnected. In this note we give a short proof of this result and we analyze its extension to expansive flows.

We prove that a set of finite perimeter is indecomposable if and only if it is, up to a choice of suitable representative, connected in the 1-fine topology. This gives a topological characterization of indecomposability which is new even in…

Let $CLB_H(X)$ denote the hyperspace of closed bounded subsets of a metric space $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric topology. We prove, among others, that natural dense subspaces of $CLB_H(R^m)$ of all nowhere dense closed sets, of all…

Let $E$ be a linear space and suppose that $A$ is the global attractor of either (i) a homeomorphism $F:E\rightarrow E$ or (ii) a semigroup $S(\cdot)$ on $E$ that is injective on $A$. In both cases $A$ has trivial shape, and the dynamics on…

We prove that, for any Hausdorff continuum X, if dim X > 1 then the hyperspace C(X) of subcontinua of X is not a C-space; if dim X = 1 and X is hereditarily indecomposable then dim C(X) = 2 or C(X) is not a C-space. This generalizes results…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and $f:X\to X$ a homeomorphism on $X$. We construct a fundamental domain for the set with finite peaks for each cocycle induced by $\phi\in C(X,R)$. In particular we prove that if a partially hyperbolic…

A non-empty subset of a topological space is irreducible if whenever it is covered by the union of two closed sets, then already it is covered by one of them. Irreducible sets occur in proliferation: (1) every singleton set is irreducible,…

K. Kuperberg found a locally connected, finite-dimensional continuum which is homogeneous but not bihomogeneous. We give a similar but simpler example. Like previous constructions, the example is locally a Cartesian product of Menger…

The Urysohn universal metric space U is characterized up to isometry by the following properties: (1) U is complete and separable; (2) U contains an isometric copy of every separable metric space; (3) every isometry between two finite…

In this paper we prove that the Gromov--Hausdorff distance between $\mathbb{R}^n$ and its subset $A$ is finite if and only if $A$ is an $\varepsilon$-net in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for some $\varepsilon>0$. For infinite-dimensional Euclidean spaces…

Let $X$ be a topological space, $U$ -- opened subset of $X$. We will say that point $x \in \partial U$ is {\it accessible} from $U$ if there exists continuous injective mapping $\phi : I \to \Cl D$ such that $\phi(1)=x$, $\phi([0,1))…

Homogeneous countably compact spaces $X$ and $Y$ whose product $X\times Y$ is not pseudocompact are constructed. It is proved that all compact subsets of homogeneous subspaces of the third power of an extremally disconnected space are…

We show that if a continuous self-map of a compact metric space is h-expansive and satisfies the shadowing property, then every non-empty uniformly rigid subset is zero-dimensional, and hence the set of periodic points is also…

It is proved that there is no structure of left (right) cancelative semigroup on $[L]$-dimensional universal space for the class of separable compact spaces of extensional dimension $\le [L]$. Besides, we note that the homeomorphism group…

Let $X\subset A^{Z^d}$ be a $2$-dimensional subshift of finite type. We prove that any $2$-dimensional multidimensional subshift of finite type can be characterized by a square matrix of infinite dimension. We extend our result to a general…

We give a consistent example of a zero-dimensional separable metrizable space $Z$ such that every homeomorphism of $Z^\omega$ acts like a permutation of the coordinates almost everywhere. Furthermore, this permutation varies continuously.…
