By definition, the intersection of finitely many open sets of any topological space is open. Nachbin observed that, more generally, the intersection of compactly many open sets is open. Moreover, Nachbin applied this to obtain elegant…
For a smooth rigid space $X$ over a perfectoid field extension $K$ of $\mathbb Q_p$, we investigate how the $v$-Picard group of the associated diamond $X^\diamondsuit$ differs from the analytic Picard group of $X$. To this end, we construct…
We investigate CAT(0) metric spaces whose associated Tits boundary is compact. Prominent examples of such spaces are of course the euclidean ones. However there exist non trivial geodesically complete CAT(0) spaces with compact Tits…
We construct a bounded and symmetric convex body in $\ell_2(\Gamma)$ (for certain cardinals $\Gamma$) whose translates yield a tiling of $\ell_2(\Gamma)$. This answers a question due to Fonf and Lindenstrauss. As a consequence, we obtain…
We investigate computable metrizability of Polish spaces up to homeomorphism. In this paper we focus on Stone spaces. We use Stone duality to construct the first known example of a computable topological Polish space not homeomorphic to any…
Following the work of Friedman, Koerwien, Nies and Schlicht we positively answer their question whether the Scott rank of Polish metric spaces is countable.
A topological space has a domain model if it is homeomorphic to the maximal point space $\mbox{Max}(P)$ of a domain $P$. Lawson proved that every Polish space $X$ has an $\omega$-domain model $P$ and for such a model $P$, $\mbox{Max}(P)$ is…
We study a strengthening of the notion of a universally meager set and its dual counterpart that strengthens the notion of a universally null set. We say that a subset $A$ of a perfect Polish space $X$ is countably perfectly meager…
In this note, we announce the first results on quasi-isometric rigidity of non-nilpotent polycyclic groups. In particular, we prove that any group quasi-isometric to the three dimenionsional solvable Lie group Sol is virtually a lattice in…
We prove that every quasi-Hopfian finitely presented structure $A$ has a $d$-$\Sigma_2$ Scott sentence, and that if in addition $A$ is computable and $Aut(A)$ satisfies a natural computable condition, then $A$ has a computable…
The Fine interior $F(P)$ of a $d$-dimensional lattice polytope $P \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ is the set of all points $y \in P$ having integral distance at least $1$ to any integral supporting hyperplane of $P$. We call a lattice polytope…
We give a criterion for a set of $n$ hyperbolic isometries of a $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ metric space $X$ to generate a free group on $n$ generators. This extends a result by Alperin, Farb and Noskov who proved this for 2 generators under the…
We prove that many completeness properties coincide in metric spaces, precompact groups and dense subgroups of products of separable metric groups. We apply these results to function spaces C_p(X,G) of G-valued continuous functions on a…
An $(n-1)$-tuple $a = (a(1), \dots, a(n-1))$ consisting of positive integers is said to be asymptotically hollow if there exist infinitely many positive integers $N$ such that the convex hull, $K(a(n))$, in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space…
In this paper, we study compactness and finiteness of an $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$ equipped with a conservative functor to a finite poset $P$. We provide sufficient conditions for $\mathcal{C}$ to be compact in terms of strata and…
We study lattices in non-positively curved metric spaces. Borel density is established in that setting as well as a form of Mostow rigidity. A converse to the flat torus theorem is provided. Geometric arithmeticity results are obtained…
The tractability conjecture for finite domain Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) stated that such CSPs are solvable in polynomial time whenever there is no natural reduction, in some precise technical sense, from the 3-SAT problem;…
For each countable ordinal $\alpha$ let $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}$ be the Schreier set of order $\alpha$ and $X_{\mathcal{S}_\alpha}$ be the corresponding Schreier space of order $\alpha$. In this paper we prove several new properties of these…
A base $\mathcal{B}$ for a space $X$ is said to be sharp if, whenever $x\in X$ and $(B_n)_{n\in\omega}$ is a sequence of pairwise distinct elements of $\mathcal{B}$ each containing $x$, the collection $\{\bigcap_{j\le n}B_j:n\in\omega\}$ is…
It is a well-known result in pointfree topology that every locally compact frame is spatial. Whether this result extends to MT-algebras (McKinsey-Tarski algebras) was an open problem. We resolve it in the negative by constructing a locally…
